Ready for summer? Here’s some motivation. Aussie label Zimmermann — the brand’s feminine bathing suits are all we want to strut around the beach or pool in –?has finally opened its first New York boutique. And besides lust-worthy swimwear, designer Nicky Zimmermann, along with her partner/sister Simone, will stock the boutique with their ready-to-wear collection — including lacy dresses and floral separates. We caught up with Simone to find out what to put on our summer shopping list.
