Entitled The Vanishing Point, the collection told a different story from their last, slightly more hippie, collection. Sure it featured an array of floral prints in black & white, nude, lilac, aqua and sherbet, but the prints were more graphic, digitized and graduated to appear 3D. It was Zimmermann’s new design methods that had us in awe. According to the show notes one look was created by splicing a floral print into tissue-thin strips, interlaced horizontally and vertically into a sleeveless tank dress. Then there were the laser cut dresses layered over contrasting prints that showed unabashed forward-thinking.

For those who know Zimmermann for their swimwear, get ready for horizontal lines, tonal use of print and a touch of vintage appeal with their 1950s vibe. Who needs itsy bitsy polka dot bikini’s when you can lounge pool-side in an array of tops, bottoms and one pieces that are retro yet modern?
