Zimmermann Spring 2025: A Celebration of Nature and Freedom Inspired by 1970s Surf Film ‘Morning of the Earth’
Zimmermann’s Spring 2025 collection, Illumination, blends bohemian accents and structured silhouettes, drawing inspiration from the harmony between humans and nature. Influenced by the sun-soaked aesthetic of the 1970s surf film Morning of the Earth, the collection features flowing fabrics, island prints, and organic shapes, evoking a free-spirited connection to the natural world.
Zimmermann’s Spring 2025 collection, titled Illumination, draws inspiration from the natural world, particularly the sun-kissed aesthetic of the 1970s surf film Morning of the Earth by Albert Falzon. In the film, the surfers are not the sole focus; instead, the beauty of nature—sunrise, waves, and the sandy shores—takes center stage. For Zimmermann’s Creative Director Nicky Zimmermann, it is the harmonious relationship between humans and nature depicted in the film that creates a powerful narrative of connection, freedom, and trust.
Zimmermann sees the film as a celebration of the free-spirited lifestyle that surfers embodied, one that brought them closer to nature in a visually stunning way. She points to the film’s capture of golden morning light, flowing waves, and the natural beauty of the world as key elements that informed the aesthetics of her Spring 2025 collection. While the designs are not strictly about surfing, the film's irresistible portrayal of dappled light and the rhythm of nature became central motifs.

The Illumination collection translates these concepts into fashion, incorporating the themes of light, movement, and harmony between humans and nature. As models glided down a sand-colored runway, it was as if the ocean’s essence was present in every detail. The soft, flowing fabrics used in the collection mimic the gentle rise and fall of the waves, creating silhouettes that move with grace and fluidity. Ruffles, a common feature in the collection, take on organic geometric shapes that are reminiscent of coral reefs and algae, emphasizing the natural world’s influence.
Zimmermann also integrated island-inspired prints, which foster a sense of summertime joy, while bohemian accents like braids and wooden beads added texture and character. This playful yet sophisticated combination of elements evokes a carefree and adventurous spirit, much like the surfers in Morning of the Earth. The earthy, beachy aesthetic is balanced by more structured pieces, such as slinky jersey bodysuits and sculptural forms, which provide a sense of confidence and modernity to the collection. These designs showcase the Zimmermann woman as someone who is self-assured, connected to both her inner self and the world around her.
The Illumination collection is not just a celebration of fashion, but of a lifestyle and an attitude—one that embraces nature, freedom, and individuality. By combining bohemian elements with structured, modern forms, Zimmermann creates a narrative of harmony between past and present, nature and humanity. The collection, much like the film it draws inspiration from, paints a picture of the vibrant beauty of the Earth, inviting wearers to become part of that symbiotic relationship.
In essence, Zimmermann’s Spring 2025 collection is a reflection of a free-spirited connection to the natural world, rooted in timeless beauty and a modern edge. Through light fabrics, organic shapes, and intricate details, the collection captures the essence of what it means to live in harmony with nature, creating a captivating and deeply resonant runway experience.
