Nicky Zimmermann set out to create an upbeat collection for fall.
As soon as the first look hit the runway—a colourful, paisley-print, tiered-ruffle frock that was belted and accessorized with velvet boots and a feather-bedecked fedora—you knew the next five minutes or so would be peppy and pop-y. Zimmermann’s lineup was inspired by lucky charms, fortune-telling, and superstitions.
She titled it Lady Beetle, which is a reference to when a lady beetle (or ladybug) lands on your hand and is thought to bring good luck. Outside of the star and horseshoe embroideries, Zimmermann nodded to the aura of a fortune-teller by giving her a bold new wardrobe. Models were transformed into cool, young versions of Miss Cleo, decked out in retro-inspired high-waist velvet pants, plaid trenchcoats, and metallic ruffle-hemmed skirts. This was a familiar Zimmermann brand of bohemian flair but pumped up with more texture, grandma-vibe textile patterns, and a few keywords too.
Zimmermann created graffiti-Esque prints featuring such words as magic, evil eye, clairvoyant, and superstition. The monikers swirled across a pink dress with balloon sleeves in both a mini and maxi length, as well as a pussy-bow blouse. Another top in black with a ruffled bodice was decorated with the same words, this time in metallics and sequins. Zimmermann’s point here was to let her playfulness run wild, but it distracted from the rest of the collection, which felt like a perfect enough nod to a well-heeled fortune-teller. The witchy purple velvet and lace poet-sleeve dress made more of a statement than those font prints, as did the tapestry fabrics used for outerwear and suiting. The layering and textures were what gave depth to Zimmermann’s clothes this time around, and by showcasing those techniques she sent some magic charm down the runway this afternoon. (vogue.com)
