Zimmermann Spring Summer 2024 Collection. Paris, 02 October 2023
Zimmermann's Spring Summer 2024 collection celebrates the natural world's beauty. At
Paris's Palais de Tokyo, guests appreciated the vibrant hues, airy textures and graceful
movement of each look before it floated down the runway.
As creative director Nicky Zimmermann said, "For Spring 2024, we were inspired by the
simple beauty of nature through various art forms. For key collection prints, we were drawn
to the lovely, unexpected colour combinations of abstract landscape colourists and mixed
these with the more scientific mood of classic botanist art against clean white backdrops.
We also explored the visual symmetry that is found in nature and looked to 3D naturalist
sculptures for inspiration in creating detail, shape, and movement. The collection direction
is clean and fresh, with a strong expression of colour, sculptural silhouettes, and a variety of
textures. All taking their cues from expressions of our natural surroundings."
This season refines Zimmermann's romantic, feminine aesthetic. Floral prints and
embellishments elevate familiar motifs. Soft pastels ground the collection, while pops of
fiery red inject joy. The intimate venue let guests examine each detail before the dress took
on an ethereal lightness gliding down the catwalk. Zimmermann showcased nature's beauty
up close.
As always, Zimmermann blended reverie with reality. Special yet wearable pieces invoke the
imagination. While appearing effortless on the runway, meticulous craftsmanship shone
through. The collection came alive with natural elements. Delicate floral prints, laser-cut blossoms
and fluttering 3D tendrils evoked nature's essence. Draped necklines and asymmetrical
hems emulated organic silhouettes. Ombré silks in pastel hues mirrored dreamy landscapes.
Breezy shirting, crisp poplin and leather nodded to urban practicality.
The colour palette reflected the nature theme. Powder blue, pink, lemon and mint
contrasted with vibrant red. Sculptural floral appliqués adorned dresses. Backless silk
organza gowns floated by ethereally.
Ultimately, the collection balanced Zimmermann's feminine aesthetic with fresh versatility.
While Paris represents Haussmannian grandeur, Zimmermann conjured rugged natural
vistas, from Parisian gardens to Australian wilds, for an enchanting escape.
