Zimmermann Spring 2025 RTW Collection: Illumination
Inspired by the cult 70s surf film, Morning of the Earth, Zimmermann’s Spring 25 collection, Illumination, translates the film’s earthly wisdom into a modern celebration of humankind’s symbiotic relationship with nature.
“For Spring we were inspired by Albe Falzon’s beautiful 70s surf film, Morning of the Earth. The film is a celebration of free-spirited surfers whose passion brought them closer to nature. It’s so visually stunning – the way it captures the golden morning light and the colour of nature is just so inspiring. We leant into the aesthetics of the film more than surf itself – the irresistible way the film captures dappled light, the flowing movement of the sea and that feeling of harmony between surfer and nature.
As a kid growing up near the beach in Southern Sydney, I used to go down to the local town hall where they would play surf films like this – I’m talking in the late 70s and early 80s I guess – and everyone would sit on the floor and watch them projected on a screen. I always loved those films, the freedom of the lifestyle and the beautiful way that the sand and the surf interacted with the golden sunlight.”
