Carla Zampatti’s 60th Anniversary: Celebrating Timeless Style with Memobottle
Carla Zampatti is one of the most iconic names in Australian fashion. For 60 years, the brand has championed elegance, innovation, and the empowerment of women through sophisticated design. In 2025, the brand celebrates this extraordinary milestone by opening Australian Fashion Week with a spectacular runway presentation that honours its rich legacy and bold future.
Memobottle is honoured to be a supporting partner in this landmark celebration, aligning with Carla Zampatti’s vision of excellence, innovation, and sustainability. As we step into the world of high fashion, let’s take a closer look at what this milestone means for the brand, the creative inspiration behind the new collection, and the enduring impact of Carla Zampatti’s legacy.
A Legacy of Empowerment and Timeless Style
Celebrating 60 years marks a powerful testament to the brand’s lasting influence on Australian fashion. More than a milestone of past achievements, it reflects the legacy of its founder—Carla Zampatti herself, a trailblazing designer and businesswoman who championed women’s empowerment through impeccable style and visionary leadership.
“For six decades, the brand that Mum built has been at the forefront of Australian fashion. Her impact extended far beyond our brand—she mentored an entire generation of designers and helped shape the industry we know today,” shares Alexander Schuman, CEO of Carla Zampatti. “As a family business in its second generation, we are committed to preserving her legacy while continuing to evolve in the spirit of her pioneering vision.”
From the brand’s inception in 1965, Carla Zampatti’s designs have symbolised confidence, grace, and timeless sophistication. Each collection has carried forward the philosophy of elevated simplicity, striking in its understatement yet rich in detail and craftsmanship.
Spring 2025 Collection: A Balance of Strength and Softness
At the heart of the 60th-anniversary celebration is the unveiling of the Spring 2025 collection: a tribute to modern femininity. This season’s designs embrace a seamless fusion of power and fluidity, with structured silhouettes meeting soft draping and bold hues complementing classic neutrals.
“Carla always mastered the balance between strength and softness,” the design team explains. “This collection carries that tradition forward, with precise tailoring, statement gown moments, and pieces that move effortlessly with the wearer.”
Luxury lies in restraint, and Carla Zampatti’s design ethos continues to embody this principle. Each piece in the Spring 2025 collection is crafted with impeccable fit, refined details, and quiet confidence that allows the woman wearing it to be the true statement.
Sustainability and Ethical Craftsmanship at the Core
Beyond aesthetics, Carla Zampatti remains dedicated to ethical production and sustainability. As a proudly Australian-made brand, the fashion house partners with Ethical Clothing Australia to ensure fair and responsible manufacturing.
“Sustainability isn’t just a commitment—it’s woven into the DNA of Carla Zampatti,” the team shares. “Since 1965, we have designed and produced in Sydney, working with consciously sourced fabrics and refined production techniques that prioritize longevity over fast fashion.”
Each Carla Zampatti piece is a lasting investment, crafted with both beauty and responsibility in mind—an ethos that deeply resonates with Memobottle’s dedication to sustainability and mindful consumption.

As guests take their seats, they can expect a show-stopping celebration of elegance, featuring dramatic silhouettes, a bold colour palette, and a creative direction that pays homage to Carla Zampatti’s legacy while embracing fresh, modern energy.
“Carla always believed in the power of a grand entrance, and this show will be no exception,” the brand teases. “It will be a moment of pure fashion magic.”
With Memobottle included among a prestigious lineup of partners, including Lancôme, Original & Mineral, Edward Meller, Westpac, Sofitel Sydney Wentworth, and FAQ by FOREO, the show underscores the brand’s unwavering commitment to excellence across all categories.
The Future of Carla Zampatti
