The Zimmermann spring 2016 collection shown during New York Fashion Week was absolutely amazing. The collection combined the prints, fabrications, texture, and drape we have come to love about Zimmermann’s collections, with the current trend towards higher hemlines. Love it!

One of the dominant trends on the spring/summer 2016 runways in New York was the short, 1960’s style hemline. Zimmermann showed this short hemline while keeping an earthy color palette and vibe.

The collection featured soft neutrals, soft blues, and delicate layers. The prints offered small patterns which were feminine and demure.

Zimmermann showed strappy shoes which hit mid-calf and came in colors to match the collection. The handbags were boxy and shown in both beige and soft blue. Loved it!

One of my favorite spring 2015 collections from New York Fashion Week was Zimmermann. (or, fall/winter since the seasons are reversed down under! Zimmermann is Australian in case you are unfamiliar with them.) I loved everything on the runway, so when their spring collection debuted, I had to have at least one piece! Since my favorite color is blue, I gravitated towards everything blue in the collection. I was surprised to see all the blue since the blue pieces were not shown on the runway in New York.

I instantly fell in love with this skirt and knew it would be perfect for both the spring and summer seasons. This skirt can easily be worn with high heels for a dressy look, or flat sandals for a summery, hot weather, casual look. It could also double as a swimsuit cover-up! Love that!

Also, if you love the necklace I am wearing, it is from Rocksbox! Rocksbox is a fabulous service with a monthly fee which sends you a monthly box of baubles to wear and love, which were hand-picked for you by a stylist. It is a great way to wear new and different jewelry all the time, without spending a ton of money.

Zimmermann sent their fall / winter 2015 collection down the New York Fashion Week runway on Friday, February 13, 2015. The energetic runway show evoked a 1970’s vintage vibe through prints, silhouettes, and a clear, mid to late 1970’s color palette. The coats and jackets were shown in vibrant hues, which were not too bright, but offered just the right amount of punch. 

Zimmermann mixed soft fabrications on blouses, skirts and dresses with structured pants, jackets and handbags; as well as a jumper and jumpsuit. This juxtaposition offered movement, and attracted the eye to the overall look rather than one key piece. The lacework and eyelets were fresh; offering a sophisticated look which was both feminine and grown-up.

The accessories on Zimmermann’s fall 2015 runway included hats, structured clutches and totes, suede shoes-both platform and flat, and multi-layered gold necklaces. It was a stunning collection and captured the moment in fashion and culture perfectly. This will definitely be a highly sought-after collection for the fall 2015 season.
