Zimmermann’s Fall 2025 collection campaign, Hypnotic.
Zimmermann’s Fall 2025 collection, Hypnotic, is a semi-nostalgic reverie—think equal parts romance and enigma—steeped in the atmosphere of Picnic at Hanging Rock, the cult 1975 Australian film now celebrating its 50th anniversary.
Rather than provide costume homage in her designs, Creative Director Nicky Zimmermann distills the film’s drama across feelings of both innocence and tension. The result is a richly layered narrative of silhouette, texture, and mood, all of it tinged with colors and tactility nodding to Picnic’s majestic Australian wilderness.
Billowing lace dresses, sheer organza layers, and harem pants channel something soft and dreamlike, while denim and heavy outerwear ground the collection with a tougher edge. Earth-toned suiting and pinstripes nod to school uniforms and riding wear, and graphics like subtly printed maps or stitched-in Valentine’s notes function almost as clues to a lore-filled story. The palette shifts from soft creams to shadowy moss to midnight blue, as if watching a day pass by in the Outback.
Intricate embroideries, like inky florals creeping across necklines, evoke a garden half-remembered, half-imagined. Accessories in fractured stone and suede root the ethereal in the real. In Hypnotic, nostalgia shimmers into something new: beauty tinged with a kinetic kind of frisson of what’s to come, as if living in a lucid dream you’re never quite ready to leave.

Gleam Belt 100
A belt that turns heads. There’s an understated throwback to 2000’s style with this piece, as well, without being too overt. -
Halcyon Clutch
Moss-hued suede, a drawstring closure with an almost Western look and a skinny chain make for a bag that feels directly influenced by the lore of Australia’s landscape. -
Helix Sandal 75
Mid-height. High-impact. Effortless braided leather sandals like these are great for putting together a casual, on-the-go look. -

This easygoing shift dress—embellished at the collar and hemline with crystals—features whimsical prints of Valentine’s Day love letters. -
Hypnotic Lace Harem Pant
High drama silhouette, soft-impact fabrication: one of Zimmermann’s brand strengths is to combine almost opposite inspirations into wearable, unique piece. -

Perfect shades of earth tones, nodding towards nature: this is a very cool yet effortless maxi skirt. -
Hypnotic Tailored Jacket
A wardrobe staple in a color befitting Miami and other tropical locales. The single button adds a nostalgic element, too. This blazer is uncomplicated yet unmistakably stylish. -
Hypnotic Cascading Maxi Dress
This is our favorite piece in the collection. It’s almost haunting—a fresh take on the term “bohemian.” Zimmermann is famous for making beautiful dresses, and this one is near the top. -
Hypnotic Utility Mini Skirt
This piece is among the bolder items in Zimmermann’s Fall collection. It’s perfect for a night out in the Magic City, where style is not shy. -
Maisie Chandeliers
Moody and intriguing, these chandelier earrings almost have a saloon-town quality to them. They’ll definitely turn heads. -
Sunray Pleated Picnic Dress
A deceptive dress: simple in impression, but technical in execution. We love the accordion pleats and the understated but still graphic chain print. -
Wavelength Top Handle
Statement-making but not over the top. We love the geometric element here; this clutch has a stone-like form, and it is given graphic pop by the faux python treatment.
