Zimmermann has been known for its swimwear, but lately they’ve been set on proving their ready-to-wear is equally worthy of space in wardrobes and on shop floors. They showed a well-received Resort 2014 collection in New York in June, and this September, they’ll be the only Australian brand to show at New York Fashion Week Spring 2014. The new collection will be shown in the Lincoln Center’s Studio space at 9 a.m. on September 6.
Absent from the New York Fashion Week schedule, however, are two local labels that are also casting their sights further abroad. Last season, Ellery and Christopher Esber staged a joint presentation at Lincoln Center, breaking the tradition of Australian labels testing foreign waters in London, while Michael Lo Sordo showed his collection to an influential group of buyers in Milan.
But word on the street is that Lady Gaga favourite Phoenix Keating will bringing his Spring 2014 offering to the U.S. this Autumn. And if there’s one thing we like as much as bragging about Aussies finding success overseas, it’s claiming Kiwis as our own: New York Fashion Week mainstay Karen Walker will provide plenty of opportunity for that.
