Sophisticated femininity, clever color combinations and delicate, original prints embody the DNA of iconic Australian swim and ready to wear label, Zimmermann. Founded as a ready to wear line in 1991 by sisters Nicky and Simone Zimmermann, the label soon expanded into swimwear and won an immediate, loyal following among Australia’s tastemakers and trendsetters by being one of the first brands to fuse swimwear with fashion.

Deux Souliers Spring-Summer 2012 collection draws its inspiration from the classical shapes of feminine and masculine footwear, revisiting it to create avant-garde and edgy shoes.

Made of high-quality leather, the designs combine different textures (mate, polished, engraved, etc.) and different materials (cotton, fabrics). The basic models of Deux Souliers - like the "Moccasin" or the "Oxford" - are now joined, for example, by the "Clog", with a peculiar oriental twist or the "Tongue Heel", a peep tow with a squared shaped heel.

Don't miss the teasers created for the summer campaign, real journey through the poetic universe conceived by the Barcelona-based artists of Deux Souliers.

Phoebe Philo at Celine Paris has proven influential on the upcoming silhouette, using extra-wide belts. The wide belts - mainly white for the moment - are popping up in the magazines. If Celine is giving it a modern twist wearing them low-waisted, Alexander McQueen adopts a more classic wasp-waist silhouette.
