Zimmermann Fashion story

Sisters Nicky and Simone Zimmermann founded the label in 1991, while the first store was opened in 1992. It all started in Sydney, when Nicky Zimmermann, who attended the design school in East Sydney, began designing garments from her parents' garage and selling them at Paddington markets where she could see first-hand how women responded to her clothing. Her sister Simone joined her later in 1991.

Zimmermann presents their ready-to-wear collections each year in both Australia and the USA at New York Fashion Week.In the following years, the Zimmermann label extended to Swim Separates, Kids, and Accessories. After the expansion, Zimmermann started making ready-to-wear collections available outside of Australia.

In 2008 Zimmermann also launched its online boutique at zimmermannwear.com.
