Zimmermann opens first store in Nice
Located on the city's recently restored Park Avenue luxury retail strip, which looks out on the Jardin de l'Arménie, the new Nice boutique was designed in partnership with long-term collaborators, Studio McQualter
The store's façade boasts long windows shaded by clean white awnings, while inside, a giant tapestry by Australian artist Georgia Bisley greets guests upon entry, across from a raw concrete wall displaying a rare Dutch tiered wall light from the 1940s.
Flooring is custom striped terrazzo tile with carpet inside the fitting rooms, and striped fabric for the interior walls.
On the ground floor, shoppers will find the Sydney-based brand's ready-to-wear collection, specifically its the fall/winter 2025 collection, alongside the brand's accessories offering. A spiral metal staircase leads to a mezzanine lounge area designed for private appointments.
'Nice is such a vibrant destination and it's exciting to open the boutique in the height of summer," said Nicky Zimmermann, creative director and co-founder.
"The boutique creates an elegant yet relaxed space which speaks perfectly to Nice – I love the mix of the raw concrete we have left exposed and the eclectic selection of art and more gentle details of the lounge.'
The chic resort-style brand's Nice opening comes just weeks after it made its Greek retail debut on the island of Mykonos. The brand, which shows its ready-to-wear collections in Paris, also opened a store in Ibiza back in May.

Columbia Sportswear sales rise 6% on international sales, wholesale revenues
Columbia Sportswear announced on Thursday sales rose 6 percent to $605.2 million in the second quarter, with the U.S. outdoorwear brand logging growth in most of its international markets, offset by underlying weakness in the U.S. The Portland, Oregon-based company said U.S. sales fell 2 percent to $335.1 million, offset by a 26 percent sales increase in Europe, the Middle East, and Africa, and a 13 percent gain in Latin America and Asia Pacific region. Sales in the company's neighbouring Canada increased 2 percent for the three months ending June 30. By brand, Columbia sales jumped 8 percent to $548.3 million, offsetting declines across the firm's smaller brands including Sorel, down 10 percent, PrAna, which decreased 6 percent, and Mountain Hardwear, down 7 percent. By channel, wholesale revenues skyrocketed 14 percent, reflecting changes in wholesale shipment timing, and partially offset by lower direct-to-consumer sales, down 1 percent. Net losses narrowed to $10.2 million during the quarter, compared to a net loss of $11.7 million in the prior-year quarter. 'Second quarter and first half financial results reflect sustained momentum in our international markets. While business trends in our U.S. business remain soft, we continue to take steps to re-energize the Columbia brand through our Accelerate growth strategy. "In the coming days, we will launch one of the most impactful components of this strategy, our new highly differentiated Columbia brand voice and marketing campaign," said chairman, president and chief executive officer, Tim Boyle. 'The apparel and footwear industry is facing increasing tariffs, on top of already high existing duties. In this period of global trade policy uncertainty, we continue to take actions to mitigate the financial and operational impacts to our business. For the upcoming Fall 2025 season, our focus is delivering exceptional value to consumers, who are pressured by higher prices for many consumer goods, as well as keeping inventory and dealer margins healthy." Looking ahead, the company forecast full-year sales to land between a 1 percent decrease to an increase of 1 percent, resulting in sales of $3.33 to $3.40 billion, compared to $3.37 billion in 2024.
