Zimmermann Cocktail Dresses
EXCLUSIVE AT NET-A-PORTER.COM. Named after the Caribbean island 'Curacao', it's only natural that Zimmermann's dress conjures up images of sun-soaked getaways.

"I wanted to make it pretty and beautiful, " says Nicky Zimmermann of her latest collection, adding that she wanted to create clothes "that girls put on and feel really special."
