The Zimmermann Resort 2012 collection boasts bold bikini and beach-ready looks. The styles vary from sweet to sultry and sporty to slouchy. The resort wear is styled in contemporary and modern styles, cut into classic and wearable prints. The swimwear is detail oriented, with metallic embellishments and asymmetrical shapes. Memorable pieces include a sweetheart neck pleated corset-style and a lone-strap bandeau in snakeskin print.
Designer Nicky Zimmermann began to actualize her visions in Sydney, Australia. She would design and create dresses to sell at the Paddington markets. She studied design at East Sydney, and would spend her evenings at the drawing board and behind the sewing machine in her parent's garage to render gorgeous looks in time for the weekend markets. Zimmermann is now an internationally recognized name.
