Simone Zimmermann, Karolina Kurkova, and Nicky Zimmermann Hosted a Dreamy Dinner Down in Miami

Snowbirds headed down to Miami for the weekend know that your suitcase isn’t complete without a bit of Zimmermann. (In the summer months, the same can be said for a trip out East on Long Island.) So it only made sense that the label’s founders Nicky Zimmermann and Simone Zimmermann decided to open up shop in the beach destination (be on the lookout for a Zimmermann’s Miami Design District boutique coming soon) and celebrate the opening with a Zimmermann-dressed-fille dinner.

In buzzy restaurant Mandolin, the Zimmermann sisters joined forces with model and Miami-resident Karolina Kurkova to welcome friends and muses of the brand. The evening marked Nicky and Simone’s first return to the states after the Australian natives spent two years in their home country during the pandemic. Their appearance meant that fans of the label—Nicky Rothschild Hilton, Athena Calderone, Aurora James, Delfina Blaquier—were quick to RSVP yes and join in on the fun.

“It’s been two years since Nicky and Simone have been in the US, so I know it’s really special and so important,” said cohost Karolina Kurkova, who wore a floral-printed midi length dress that was equal parts edgy and elegant. “I’m really happy to be here and to see a lot of my friends from all over the world. We get to celebrate, feel beautiful, wear beautiful clothes, and have beautiful food and beautiful conversation.”

“It’s the perfect backdrop for Zimmermann’s whimsical, feminine elegance,” said Bakalova of the setting. Around her, the meadowy blooms decorating the dinner setting seemed to have leaped off the tables and onto all the girls; Calderone’s two-piece skirt set looked as though it had been sprinkled with petals.

It was a dreamy and photogenic night, but that’s to be expected. Midway through the meal, Nicky rose to welcome all her guests with remarks; “It’s a dream to open a store in the Miami Design District. We’ve been here for over 20 years and have had some crazy times. We work very hard and have lots of fun—I think that’s Miami! Thank you all very much for your support; it means the absolute world to us.”
