Fashion Heavy Hitters Zimmermann And Dion Lee Make Their Mark On NYFW

Australian designers rule the runway - by Elle Halliwell
  • 13 Feb 2020

From Zimmermann’s charmed ladybeetles and Dion Lee’s chain gang, to a surprise sartorial cameo by our most notorious Instagram star, Australia stomped a very motley fashion footprint at New York Fashion Week.

Watch below: Bella, Gigi, Kaia, Imaan, Adut And Tyra Just Formed The Ultimate Girl Band

As the 92nd Oscars red carpet was being rolled back up on the US West Coast, its East coast counterparts were knee-deep in Ready-to-Wear collections as day three of the autumn 2020 collections kicked off.

“For Fall this season we embraced that sense of fun and spirit around lucky charms,” Zimmermann’s Nicky Zimmermann said of the brand’s whimsical new collection, called Ladybeetle.

“We wanted to create a collection that felt optimistic, upbeat and had a sense of humour to it.”

The brand’s optimism carried through to philanthropy, with sisters and co-founders Simone and Nicky collaborating with the Carbon Neutral Charitable Fund to have ten trees planted for every show attendee in a bid to restore the bushland devasted by Australia’s recent bushfire crisis.

And attendees there were plenty. Katie Holmes, Bambi Northwood Blyth and Victoria Lee were among the notable front row-ers, who were given the first look at the label’s new wares, which were set to a canvas of dusty pink, white and soft blue punctuated by vivid shades of mustard and aubergine.

Tasselled velvet waist-belts and star-spangled hosiery added a gypsy vibe, while romantic ruffles, lace and delicate prints will appeal to the brand’s long-time customer base.

“We played with lady beetles and horseshoes in our embroideries, an evil eye artwork on silk, we touched on some astrology references in our sequins and set it against a backdrop of the chalky and diffused colours of the rainbow,” Nicky explained.

Meanwhile, design outlier Dion Lee put forward a strong case for navel-gazing, unveiling a collection that same day advocating the hip’s return as our favourite erogenous zone.

The New York-based wunderkind’s precision tailoring was unmistakable in the postmodern collection which featured tie-dyed denim and hints of 90s rave culture. Jewellery was heroed throughout, specifically a chain which Lee explained could be used interchangeably between both clothing and accessories.

FALL WINTER 2020 RUNWAY COLLECTION DIONLEE.COM

And to cap off our US fashion showcase, influencer Tammy Hembrow offered up an off-schedule collection for those who prefer their tops cropped and their bottoms fleecy.

Gold-Coaster Hembrow, who has an eight-figure Instagram following, unveiled her athleisure brand Saski Collection’s newest range in the Big Apple the next day.

And while Hembrow’s brand may not have much gravitas among Australia’s designer clique, with Saski sales counting for about 80 per cent of the fitness star’s $6 million empire, she’s laughing (and lunging) all the way to the bank.
