Carla, my mentor, arrived unannounced—walking in, walking out, always with love. Her surprise visits lit up the studio. They were never planned, always electric.
Carla’s everlasting impact on the Australian industry lives on through both Bianca and Alex, and I am so grateful to be a part of this special moment.
I spent my childhood in Carla Zampatti fitting rooms, watching my mother try on everything in the store.
Grace and strength — these words reflect the Carla I knew. She nurtured women’s voices and resilience with care, and I am honoured to celebrate her lasting influence.
Carla Zampatti showed us that fashion could be both powerful and deeply personal—her legacy inspires me to lead with purpose and cultural pride.
Carla wasn’t just a fashion icon—she was a force. Elegant, fearless, and always ahead of her time. Her legacy isn’t just in the clothes, it’s in the confidence she inspired. I feel lucky to have witnessed her magic up close.
I admire the enduring impact Carla has had on those around her. I appreciate the power of interconnectedness in the fashion industry and how legacies are passed down, influencing new generations of designers.
Carla was always so warm and caring to us. We loved working and admired her work ethic, and also her personal style.
I am honoured to be part of this special moment. Celebrating Carla is a beautiful tribute to a remarkable woman whose belief in others was unwavering. She championed talent and pushed me to believe that what I did truly mattered.
CZ was the ultimate Trojan Horse, it’s an honour to contribute to a fashion house that has pioneered the charge behind instrumental change well beyond the parameters of fashion.
Chic, determined, and fiercely independent, she was a true role model who had a profound influence on the Australian fashion industry — and on my journey with both WILLOW and KITX.
Mum was so many things. Sculptural, powerful and feminine. She had a definitive style and at the same time always wanted to be surprised and take you somewhere new. Her creativity inspired the world; her passion inspires me daily.
