Celebrity Gardener - Nicky Zimmermann

Zimmermann was one of the big names at this year's Mercedes Australian Fashion Week. The label is the result of the joint efforts of sisters Nicky and Simone Zimmermann. Simone looks after the business side, while Nicky is the fashion designer. Nicky and Simone firmly believe that it has been the Mercedes Fashion Weeks over recent years that provided the springboard to their international career.

The Zimmermann label was launched in 1990. The swimwear range has become famous for its cut, style and eclectic use of colours. Zimmermann also has a range of women's clothing characterised by its sharp tailoring.

Today the Zimmermann label is sold in the United States, United Kingdom and Asia, while in Australia the sisters have opened a number of boutique stores. Nicky, who is a keen gardener, showed Don around the garden of her ground floor apartment.
