Sydney label founded in Bondi in 2014 by housemates Sophie Coote and Nikki Campbell, launched via an Instagram-only capsule; picked up by Barneys New York within three years and later stocked at Harrods, Matches and Galeries Lafayette. Added a swimwear line in 2020 and opened a Bondi flagship.

Sir was started in 2014 in Bondi, Sydney, by Sophie Coote and Nikki Campbell, who were housemates at the time and launched the label with a small, Instagram-only capsule collection rather than a traditional wholesale rollout. The relaxed, resort-driven aesthetic — linen shirting, easy trousers, breezy dresses — found buyers quickly: within its first three years the brand was picked up by Barneys New York, followed by stockists including Harrods, Matches and Galeries Lafayette.
The label expanded into swimwear in 2020, adding structured one-pieces and swim sets to its ready-to-wear range. Sir later returned to its origins with a flagship store in Bondi, the suburb where Coote and Campbell first conceived the label; the store's interior was designed by Tamsin Johnson.
Sir remains run by its two co-founders and is positioned within the broader wave of Australian resort and beach-adjacent labels that built international wholesale distribution largely through digital-first launches rather than runway shows.
Sydney / Australia / Online
Australia's most celebrated international fashion export — fusion of fashion with swimwear, intricate cuts, dainty prints, and bohemian femininity. Worn by Jennifer Lopez and Blake Lively.
Best for Bohemian swimwear and occasion dresses
Nicky and Simone Zimmermann started at Sydney's Paddington Markets in 1991 with clothes cut for actual Australian life — sun, water, long lunches — and built the country's most successful fashion export by refusing to choose between swimwear and fashion. The insight was structural: treat the bikini with couture seriousness and the dress with beach ease, and one wardrobe emerges.
The signatures are recognizable at fifty meters: intricate broderie and lace, dainty botanical prints, ruffled shoulders, silhouettes engineered for golden-hour photography. Sisterhood remains the operating system — Nicky designs, Simone runs the business — and the collections still open with swim.
The house took its runway to New York Fashion Week in the 2010s, planted flagships from Mayfair to Melrose, and in 2023 sold a majority stake to Advent International at a valuation past a billion dollars — Australian fashion's largest deal. Worn everywhere from Bondi to the Amalfi coast, Zimmermann exports the thing Australia actually owns: optimism, tailored.
