Zimmermann has a feeling all its own, painterly print, broderie, and the ease of an Australian summer. If you love that romance and want to widen your wardrobe, several houses sit close to it, and the best of them are Australian too. Here are the names our fashion editors reach for, each one stocked and authenticated at Coveti.
Aje
Also from Sydney, Aje shares Zimmermann’s romance but draws a sharper line. Expect sculptural shoulders, considered tailoring, and texture led fabrics alongside the softer pieces. A natural next step for the Zimmermann fan who wants a little more structure.
Alémais
If the print and the hand craft are what you love most, Alémais is the closest match. The Sydney label is built on vivid original prints, embroidery, and artisan collaborations, with the same joyful, travel ready spirit.
Camilla
For maximal print and pure holiday glamour, Camilla turns the volume up. Kaftans, silk, and ornate placement prints make it the most decorative alternative on this list, and an easy partner for resort dressing.
Leo Lin
Feminine, floral, and vibrant, Leo Lin captures a similar mood at a gentler price point. The prints feel fresh and modern, and the silhouettes are flattering and easy to wear.
Rebecca Vallance
When the occasion calls for polish, Rebecca Vallance delivers tailored glamour and refined eveningwear with the same confident femininity. Strong for weddings and events where you want a cleaner, dressed up line.
Alex Perry and Shona Joy
For the occasion end of the wardrobe, Alex Perry brings sculptural red carpet glamour, while Shona Joy covers events and everyday occasion dressing at a more accessible price. Between them they handle everything from the gala to the garden party.

A jacquard skirt is a skirt cut from fabric whose pattern is woven into the cloth on a jacquard loom, which gives it body and a slight relief that a printed skirt does not have. Our designer skirts edit holds the range, the Mary Katrantzou brand page carries the Gianna and Vargas jacquard skirts...

A velvet maxi dress is a floor-length dress cut from velvet, a fabric with a short, dense cut pile that catches the light and deepens whatever colour it is dyed in. Our designer maxi dresses edit holds the new velvet from the Mary Katrantzou brand page , and if floor length feels like too much,...
Mary Katrantzou prints are digital artworks engineered to the pattern piece, so each motif is drawn to meet a seam, a waist and a hem, and for Resort 2027 they draw on kintsugi, the Japanese craft of mending ceramics with gold, and on Japanese water marbling. The prints run through our designer...
Mary Katrantzou is the London label founded in 2008 by the Athens-born print designer of the same name, and its Resort 2027 collection is built on four print stories cut into jacquard tailoring, velvet, lace and organza for evening dressing. Coveti carries 45 of the pieces in our designer...
A sequin sweater is a knitted jumper that carries sequins, either knitted in as part of the yarn so they glint quietly across the surface, sewn on one by one for a solid, reflective finish, and in micro sizes worked into stripes. The best ones keep the hand of a good knit, so they can be worn by...
Cashmere gloves for women are gloves knitted from cashmere, the fine undercoat of the cashmere goat, alone and in blends with wool and silk, chosen for warmth without bulk and a soft hand against the skin. A good pair is dense enough to block wind, long enough to meet a coat sleeve, and sized so...
