Assistant Store Manager, Cancun

About Us

This iconic Australian brand has stayed true to its original vision: sophisticated femininity, a passion for detail and a love of color and print. Sisters Nicky and Simone ZIMMERMANN founded their namesake brand in Sydney in 1991.

Early in its evolution, ZIMMERMANN took the bold step of fusing fashion with swimwear and presented it to the world. It immediately found its following with the fashion elite, creating a new point of reference in flattering, feminine and stylish swimwear. While the swimsuit thrust ZIMMERMANN on to the international stage, it has been its optimistic, feminine and consistently desirable collections across its ready-to-wear and resort that have propelled it to greater global appeal.

While based at home in Sydney, ZIMMERMANN present their ready-to-wear collections each season at Paris Fashion Week. Working with the highly acclaimed designer and long-time collaborator, Don McQualter, ZIMMERMANN maintains a number of stand-alone stores across Australia, UK & Europe, China, The US, and the Middle East.
