Some designers reference fashion archives for reference, but Nicky
Zimmermann only had to scan back through her family’s photo albums for Resort SS20 inspiration. Her mother’s boho dresses formed much of the story behind the collection, and we can imagine they were something like this Super Eight mini dress. Planted with a bed of retro blooms, it’s spun from a breezy cotton and silk-blend that’s made for balmy garden days. Better grab your oversized shades.
