Zimmermann makes Mexico debut with boutique in Los Cabos
Published
December 8, 2025
Australian label Zimmermann has announced the opening of its first boutique in Mexico, at the newly inaugurated Ánima Village in Los Cabos. The brand’s arrival marks a significant step in its international expansion and its official debut in Latin America.
“It’s incredibly exciting to open our first boutique in Mexico. I’ve always really enjoyed spending time there, so finally being able to open a store is a great achievement for us,” said Nicky Zimmermann, creative director and co-founder of the Australian house.
The designer added that Los Cabos represents an ideal setting for the brand and that the new boutique seeks to reflect the destination’s vibrant energy. She noted that the space was conceived as an immersive experience designed to showcase the aesthetic and artisanal sensibility that characterises Zimmermann.
The architectural project was led by Studio McQualter, which opted for complete integration with the Ánima Village setting.
The façade combines brick, concrete, and wood, accompanied by naturalistic landscaping that echoes the design of the complex. Brass handles, a recurring signature of the brand, highlight the entrance to a space devised to offer an experience in keeping with the Zimmermann universe.
The interior features a mix of vintage pieces, contemporary art, and considered finishes, set beneath lofty ceilings and white plaster-textured walls. A Murano-glass wall stands out alongside a table by Afra and Tobia Scarpa, while a work by Barbara Kuebel accompanies the presentation of the 2026 cruise ready-to-wear collection.
Works by Australian artists Laith McGregor, Clifford Thompson and Richard Nelson reinforce the house’s connection to its roots. A second space is dedicated to accessories, with walls in shades of pink and a terrazzo floor laid in a green-and-cream chequerboard.
The selection of handbags, scarves, and belts is presented in a lounge with a vaulted ceiling, decorative fireplace, and 1950s furnishings, paired with Eero Saarinen Tulip chairs, all atop a bespoke kilim rug. The boutique, which already carries the aforementioned cruise collection, underscores the growing appeal of Los Cabos to international luxury fashion brands.

Turnbull & Asser has appointed the highly experienced Italian designer Roberto Menichetti to be its new creative director. In his new role, Menichetti will oversee all of the label’s creative direction including bespoke shirting, tailoring, outerwear, and accessories, the 140-year-old British shirtmaker and outfitter said in a release.
The appointment marks a return to London for Menichetti some two decades after he departed Burberry, where he played a dynamic role in reviving that the UK’s largest luxury label.
“Roberto’s appointment reflects our ambition to bring fresh energy to our wardrobe while remaining true to the craftsmanship that has defined Turnbull & Asser for over a century. His proven ability to modernise heritage houses while respecting their DNA makes him the perfect partner as we look to the future. That future continues to be shaped by the skill of our artisans in London and Gloucester and by our enduring belief in ‘Made in England’. We are confident that Roberto’s international experience and proven creative leadership will ensure the continued success and growth of our house,” said James Fayed, chairman of Turnbull & Asser, in a release.
The business, which counts King Charles among its customers, has not made a profit in the past nine years. Owned by Ali Fayed for almost 40 years, it is now managed by his son James. In its most recent financial year, Turnbull & Asser made a pre-tax loss of £1.37 million, as annual revenues edged lower to £9.3 million. The company boasts a famous flagship store in Mayfair, and e-tailing business, and distribution across US department stores.
Born in the US but raised in Italy, Menichetti first gained attention when designing the menswear collection in an austere, minimalist style for Jil Sander. While with the German company, he was also credited with developing the first co-branding between high fashion and sportswear in a linkup with Puma.
The Menichetti family are highly experienced apparel manufacturers based in Gubbio, Tuscany, and have produced collections for such brands as Prada, Dolce & Gabbana, Versace, and Marzotto.
Menichetti joined Burberry in 1998 blending English heritage, Winsor elegance, and rugged functionality with considerable success. He also launched Prorsum, Burberry’s ready-to-wear line, helping to double annual sales over his five-year tenure to £675 million. In 2000, Anna Wintour presented Menichetti with the honour of Designer of The Year from The Fashion Group International.
Menichetti was also creative director of Celine for two seasons, slotting in between the Michael Kors and Phoebe Philo eras at the key French marque within LVMH Group. Subsequently, he held consultative design roles for brands such as Cerruti, Brema, and Chinese label JH 1912.
“Turnbull & Asser represents more than a brand; it is a living expression of British style and elegance, carefully built over generations. It is remarkable that the house has preserved its identity so faithfully and is untouched by passing trends, carrying it forward to the present day with care and dedication under James and his family. To be entrusted with its creative future is both an honour and a responsibility. My philosophy has always been to seek the essence of form- clarity, proportion and timelessness- rather than the noise of passing trends,” said Menichetti, who in recent years has divided his time between his art studio in Los Angeles, raising his son in California, and his atelier in Gubbio.

He said this at an event at the Foreign Service Academy in Dhaka to celebrate Bangladesh’s ratification of ILO conventions 155, 187 and 190. The event was jointly organised by the Ministry of Labour and Employment and the ILO.
Ratifying key ILO conventions will help Bangladesh better negotiate the GSP+ scheme and a potential FTA with the EU, EU envoy to Bangladesh Michael Miller has said.
As Bangladesh prepares to graduate from LDC status, the scheme offers continued preferential market access, but links benefits to the implementation of standards on labour and human rights, environmental protection and good governance, he said.
ILO convention 155 addresses labour rights in refusing hazardous work, convention 187 establishes a promotional framework for occupational safety and health, and convention 190 aims at preventing violence and harassment.
“As Bangladesh prepares to graduate from LDC [least developed country] status, it can benefit from the EU’s GSP+ scheme. This scheme provides continued preferential market access, but links trade benefits to the implementation of international standards on labour rights, environmental protection, human rights, and good governance,” Miller was quoted as saying by domestic media outlets.
“Should Bangladesh one day formally request FTA negotiations, I assure you that the highest standards in rights protection and governance will be central to any such arrangement,” he noted.
The EU has long supported Bangladesh through initiatives such as ‘Everything but Arms’ (EBA), providing duty-free, quota-free access, European expertise and development cooperation.
“We warmly welcome the interim government’s achievements and encourage continued progress on Bangladesh’s National Action Plan on the labour sector. Key areas still needing attention include amending the Export Processing Zone (EPZ) Labour Act, eliminating child labour, and strengthening social dialogue,” Miller added.
Bangladesh is the first country in Asia to ratify all 10 fundamental ILO conventions and the first in South Asia to ratify ILO convention 190. The country has ratified 36 ILO conventions aimed at protecting workers’ rights till now.
