Zimmermann brought its world of modern romance to Los Angeles with a candlelit celebration for the Cruise ‘26 RTW Collection, Twisted Romance, hosted by Nicky Zimmermann, Creative Director, and Simone Zimmermann, COO of the brand. Set inside the legendary grounds of Chateau Marmont, the evening felt like a Hollywood reverie: cinematic, intimate, and unmistakably Zimmermann. Guests from across film, fashion, and culture gathered for a night that blended old-world glamour with the free-spirited attitude of the new collection. Many arrived dressed in looks from Cruise ‘26, bringing the airy silks, structured denim, and nautical-inspired romance of Twisted Romance to life beneath the Los Angeles glow.

The night opened with a private dinner inside the hotel’s historic Bungalow, a space known for its quiet legends and long Hollywood memory. Two dramatically long tables stretched through the room, layered in soft ivory linens, antique candelabras, and cascades of pearls that caught reflections of the lush greenery just outside. It was the kind of setting Zimmermann does best: poetic, intimate, and rich with detail. Around the table, an international guest list shaped the atmosphere, including actors, musicians, stylists, filmmakers, and creative leaders who have become part of the brand’s extended family: Dakota Fanning, Rita Ora, Zoey Deutch, Emma Roberts, Joel Edgerton, Jurnee Smollett, Halle Bailey, Delaney Rowe, Bella Heathcote, Anna Diop, Chloe East, Isabela Merced, Maria Bakalova, Beatrice Grannò, Larsen Thompson, Abby Champion, Hilary Rhoda, Hailey Clauson, and many more.

After dinner, guests made their way up to the Chateau Marmont Penthouse, where the mood shifted into something more playful and modern. DJ Kitty Kash set the tone, filling the room with a curated mix of beats that invited movement, conversation, and a little late-night magic. Friends lingered on balconies overlooking Sunset Boulevard, and a warm, glowing energy carried on through the night, an atmosphere that felt distinctly Los Angeles. In every corner, the essence of Twisted Romance could be felt: soft fabrics, structured silhouettes grazing the room, a palette inspired by sunlit seas and nostalgic adventure. It became not just a celebration of a collection, but a gathering that embodied its spirit.

Smiles spilled into the hallways; pockets of conversation settled into soft corners; the city lights shimmered just beyond the terrace. It was an evening that felt suspended in its own warm glow. Throughout the space, the Cruise ‘26 collection revealed itself, layers of organza catching the air, structured denim giving edge to delicate silhouettes, and maritime-inspired prints shifting softly as guests moved. The gathering became an extension of the collection’s narrative: romantic, adventurous, and grounded in the kind of ease that defines Zimmermann.

Throughout the night, models brought Twisted Romance to life, their looks moving through the candlelit rooms. Conversations unfolded naturally, sharing quiet moments while stylists and creatives admired the craftsmanship up close. It was an evening shaped by genuine connection, where the collection found its voice through the people who wear and celebrate it.

It was clear why Zimmermann continues to resonate across creative communities worldwide. The brand’s ability to blend romance, strength, storytelling, and ease was reflected not only in the clothes but in the company they keep. The Chateau Marmont event was more than an unveiling; it was an experience. A modern fairytale evening shaped by artistry, friendship, and a shared love for fashion that sparks the imagination of Zimmermann’s Cruise ‘26 RTW Collection, which found its perfect Hollywood moment.
