Zimmermann: Rebellion Is The Night
Moody, rich and roguish, Zimmermann draws on a darker tone for AW12 presenting a collection reminiscent of forbidden nights and exotic tastes.
Designer Nicky Zimmermann weaves a subtle thread of 1920's nostalgia through her impeccably modern silhouettes and the result is a sultry exchange between beauty and illicit influence.
Depth of texture is worked into understated shapes allowing the tactile techniques of custom-woven brocade, asymmetrical fringing, intricate French lace, draped velvet and feathered mohair to take opulent visual effect.
Affluent femininity is tempered by the rebellious allure of masculine tailoring. Strong, long lines provide structure to sexy bias-cut silk, refining indulgence to the point of nonchalance.
Sophisticated with an edge of defiance, Rebellion Is The Night sees Zimmermann's directional aesthetic made all the more contemporary by its evocative inspiration.
Zimmermann is located on St Quentin Ave, Claremont Quarter.
