CARLA ZAMPATTI

We are incredibly proud of Allegra Spender, who this week was awarded as the 2025 McKinnon Emerging Political Leader of the Year. The award celebrates integrity, collaboration and vision, qualities Allegra embodies in every sense. Her commitment to creating positive change and leading with compassion is inspiring. Congratulations, Allegra - a well-deserved recognition of your dedication and leadership. Thank you to the McKinnon Institute for continuing to spotlight and recognise our political leaders. #McKinnonPrize #Leadership #CarlaZampatti #WomenInLeadership

We are proud to share that the Zampatti family are among the cornerstone backers of Scale Investors Pty Ltd venture capital fund that will invest exclusively in female-led businesses, as shared by the Australian Financial Review earlier this week. At Carla Zampatti, we’ve always stood for more than fashion. We stand for legacy. For inspiration. For women who are trailblazers - bold, courageous, and change-making. This fund will help seed dreams, build companies, and amplify women founders who are rewriting the rules of business. We’re honoured that our family name plays a part in helping make that possible. Together, we can support more women entrepreneurs to rise, lead, and transform our economy and culture.

We were honoured to be nominated as a finalist in the Design Excellence category at last week's Ragtrader 2025 Australian Fashion Industry Awards, celebrating the vision and creativity that drives Australian fashion forward. A heartfelt congratulations to CAMILLA, who took home two incredible wins on the night, and to all of the other category winners recognised for their innovation and contribution to our industry. Thank you to Ragtrader for creating such a meaningful platform to acknowledge and celebrate excellence across Australian fashion. We are proud to stand alongside so many inspiring brands and individuals shaping the future of our industry. #RagTrader #FashionIndustryAwards

Wishing Special Broadcasting Service (SBS) Australia a heartfelt congratulations on 50 years of storytelling.   Carla’s proudest role was as Chair of SBS for 10 years. She believed deeply in the power of representation, diversity, and culture in shaping a more inclusive Australia.   Last night at Admiralty House, Carla Zampatti CEO Alex Schuman and his sister Allegra Spender MP celebrated this remarkable milestone with Her Excellency Sam Mostyn AO, Governor-General of Australia, pictured wearing Carla Zampatti.   Here’s to 50 years of bold, visionary broadcasting that represents the very best of Australia’s multicultural success story. #CarlaZampatti #SBS

Carla Zampatti was honoured to open Australian Fashion Week 2025 Powered by Shark Beauty with Ubiquity, a show held at the Museum of Contemporary Art Australia Forecourt, overlooking Sydney Harbour including the world-famous Sydney Opera House and Harbour Bridge. It was a moment to pause and reflect, honouring 60 years of creativity, community, and the many people who have shaped Carla Zampatti along the way. What made this show so special wasn’t just the milestone itself, but the way the wider industry showed up to honour it. From designers and creatives to leaders across business, fashion and culture, the response has been overwhelming. The show captured widespread attention not only for its aesthetic strength, but for the spirit of collaboration at its core, 14 designers coming together to pay tribute to Carla’s legacy and ongoing influence. Thank you to Michael Lo Sordo, Pip Edwards, Toni Maticevski, Christopher Esber, Romance Was Born, Gail Sorronda, Kit Willow, Akira Isogawa, Jordan Gogos, Alix Higgins, Grace Lillian Lee, Mariam Seddiq, BEARE PARK, and Bianca Spender for your enormous generosity and talent. We are deeply grateful to our show partners who helped make this moment possible: Range Rover, Lancôme, O&M, Shark Beauty, Westpac, Edward Meller, Sofitel Sydney Wentworth, Fairfax & Roberts, memobottle, FAQ by FOREO and Dazzle Dry Australia. Thank you to everyone who has supported this moment. It’s a powerful reminder that while the Carla Zampatti brand continues to evolve, its impact remains ever-present, across generations, across industries, and across Australia. #CarlaZampatti #60YearsOfFashion Alex Schuman Tanya Emon Jess Pecoraro Lara Karamian Gary Sinclair Photography: Lucas Dawson
