odiac-inspired bell-sleeve gowns, dresses with cascading stars, matching shirt and pant sets, minidresses underpinned with catsuits, adorned headbands, velvet platform shoes, and stretch satin boots—Nicky Zimmermann looked to the heavens for her fall inspiration. Working with fable-based artist Anita Inverarity, Zimmermann channeled the energy of the 12 houses to bring their celestial rulers to life with mythical motifs for the Australian line she cofounded with her sister Simone. The designer talks of star signs, the new prints, and her two Texas stores:

PATRON (P): Women here were thrilled when you selected Dallas as Zimmermann’s first Texas storefront in NorthPark Center, home to not only coveted fashion brands, but also a world-class art collection. What drew you to NorthPark? Nicky Zimmermann (NZ): Dallas is such a fun and vibrant city. I think the women there really like to have fun dressing and have an eye for the unexpected—something which is very much at the heart of our brand. Many women from Dallas had shopped with us in other stores around the world, so when the opportunity to open at NorthPark came along, the timing felt right. P: NorthPark’s Zimmermann boutique vibes with that art-centric ethos. Can you tell us about the art installed in-store?
