My WFH Space: Nicky Zimmermann

Fashion : Meet

01 May 2020

As we all adjust to our newly conflated living/working conditions - the stream of conference call notifications and emails, general noise of children/flatmates/partners/dogs in the background, endless cups of tea and futile attempts to resist the biscuit tin, we've asked our creative friends – today we have Nicky Zimmermann, one half of the sister duo that runs their eponymous brand – to share with us their personal "Working From Home" spaces, to share with you. So have a nosey poke around...

I'm staying sane these days by...

As everyone has come to know, it can be pretty funny working from home –it certainly isn't like my usual routine in the studio. In between working on the new collection with the team, I love being able to see my kids during the day and have lunch with them, or sneak in a quick game of ping pong with my 16 year old son.

My workspace must include the following in order for me to feel calm, creative and productive:

These are a mix of Australian artists. The bold graphic painting is by Stephen Ormandy, there are some smaller works there by Tom Polo, and the offbeat painting of the bunnies is by Lucy Culliton. The photos are by the late Rennie Ellis and my friend Simon Lekias and the black and white painting is by Noah Taylor.

I'm staying optimistic because...

There is still so much to look forward to. We are working on some really beautiful and exciting collections, and I can't wait to see them come to life.
