Founder: Carla Zampatti, founder and designer
Year established: 1965
Known for: Classically feminine, ladylike collectsions—Zampatti could be considered Australia's answer to Oscar de la Renta. Signatures include opulent florals, overblown bell silhouettes, and evening fabrications.
Worn by: Australian fashion royalty, literally and otherwise; Crown Princess Mary of Denmark (who was born and raised in Australia); Miranda Kerr; Nicole Trunfio; and Shanina Shaik
Spring/Summer 2015 inspirations: In celebration of Zampatti's 50 years in Australian fashion, the collectsion drew clear inspiration from the designer's archive, presented in Zampatti's traditional black and white. Also, there was an undertone of '80s-inspired glamour and excess.
