Zulu & Zephyr - A contemporary brand that creates swimwear and ready-to-wear designs for modern women around the world

Zulu & Zephyr was founded in the summer of 2013 by sisters Candice and Karla Rose, inspired by their mother’s Australian fashion of the 1970s. The brand has celebrated nostalgia through prints, textures and thoughtful, considered design.

Our vision is to bring Australian coastal fashion to the world stage. 

 

We want to recognise the traditional culture, people, language and history where “Zulu” is derived from. Our team, partners and community acknowledge the culture and history of the Bantu and Zulu Nguni ethnic group of South Africa. We also pay respect and acknowledgment to Zulu kaMalandela, son of Malandela, was the founder and chief of the Zulu clan which came from the Nguni people. Although our brand has no direct relationship or derivation to the members of this community, the Zulu & Zephyr team are on a journey to educate both ourselves and our community on how we can actively implement this acknowledgement moving forward.
