A Zimmermann presented its Fall 2026 ready-to-wear collection during Paris Fashion Week, at a fashion show held at Carreau du Temple, in Paris. Designed by the creative director Nicky Zimmermann, the collection is based on the history of Australian women from the 1920s who worked in areas not accessible to them at that time.

Founded in 1991 by the sisters Nicky Zimmermann and Simone Zimmermann, the brand was born in Sydney and has established itself globally through flowing dresses, elaborate prints and a contemporary reading of femininity. In recent years, the label expanded its international presence and began to present its collections on the calendar of Paris Fashion Week, strengthening its operations in the luxury market.

For this season, the designer's research focused on historical figures such as Miles Franklin, Kathleen Howell and Jean Robertson, women who challenged social norms when working in fields such as literature, aviation, and sports. The collection reflects this context in a combination of masculine and feminine codes, reflected in the mix between structured tailoring and lace dresses.

On the runway, dressed with influence Art Deco, lace applied to tailoring and textured surfaces appear alongside jumpsuits, draped denim pants, and utilitarian-inspired jackets. Silk scarves with historical illustrations were transformed into dresses and skirts, while sporting elements, such as references to cricket, were reinterpreted within the brand's wardrobe.

The fashion show brought together a front row with names like Oprah Winfrey, Jessica Chastain, Naomi Watts and Lily James, reinforcing the brand's presence in the international fashion circuit. The collection expands the repertoire of Zimmermann, balancing its history of ornate dresses with daily proposals and tailoring pieces.
