VALIANT BATWING GOWN
The Valiant Batwing Gown in Navy Paisley arrives from the Trailblazer collection as a study in dramatic volume, a piece that trades body-conscious silhouettes for the sculptural grandeur of gathered, voluminous silk. Crafted from silk twill, the gown carries a compact, substantial hand that gives its heavy gathering true architectural presence, allowing the fabric to hold its sculptural folds with weight and intention rather than collapsing into shapelessness.
At the neckline, a high stand collar sets a striking, directional tone, framing the throat with clean, structured precision and lending the gown an air of regal formality from the very first glance. This structure gives way to dramatic movement through the sleeves, where draped blouson construction creates the gown’s signature batwing silhouette — the fabric billowing generously from shoulder to wrist before gathering into a fitted point, a dramatic counterpoint to the high collar above.
The gown’s most transformative moment occurs at the waist, where heavy gathering cinches the silhouette at a low waist, creating volume above and a fluid release below. This gathering is further defined by a removable waist tie finished with tassel fringe ends, a decorative flourish that allows the wearer to sculpt the waistline with precision or remove the tie entirely for a looser, more relaxed silhouette — offering two distinct expressions of the same design.
At the back, an invisible centre back zip ensures the gown can be fastened seamlessly, its considered placement keeping the voluminous silhouette’s lines uninterrupted by visible hardware.
The Navy Paisley motif is placement printed across the gown, ensuring the pattern is deliberately positioned rather than randomly repeated. Rendered in deep navy, the paisley’s ornate, swirling forms take on a rich, almost regal intensity against the dark ground, the print’s intricate detailing rewarding closer inspection while reading, from a distance, as a single, dramatic wash of pattern and color.

Zimmermann is an Australian luxury fashion brand founded in 1991 by sisters Nicky and Simone Zimmermann in Sydney.
About the Brand and Founders
Nicky Zimmermann studied design at East Sydney and began creating and selling garments from her parents’ garage and at Paddington Markets. Her sister Simone joined her shortly after, and together they built the label. What started as a market stall quickly grew into one of Australia’s most successful fashion houses, known for sophisticated femininity, romantic silhouettes, and a distinctive resort aesthetic.
Key Features
- Signature focus on women’s ready-to-wear, swimwear, and resort collections.
- Celebrated for intricate craftsmanship, unique prints, custom-designed laces, trims, and finishes.
- Pieces balance playful, high-performance design with modern bohemian sensibility and refined femininity.
- Strong emphasis on quality and longevity — “style over fashion.”
Global Presence and Status
Zimmermann has expanded into a major international brand with dozens of boutiques worldwide (including a significant presence in Australia, the US, and Europe) and wholesale partners in leading department stores. In 2023 it became Australia’s first billion-dollar fashion label following a majority investment by Advent International, while the founding sisters retained a minority stake and continue to lead the creative and operational direction of the company.
Sisters Nicky and Simone Zimmermann create sophisticated femininity through romantic silhouettes, intricate craftsmanship and timeless resort elegance.
