The family of Australian fashion icon Carla Zampatti has accepted the NSW Government’s offer of a state funeral, after her death days after a fall at an outdoor opera performance.

In a statement on Sunday, NSW Premier Gladys Berejiklian described the designer as “talented, generous, and inspiring. A true trailblazer in every respect.”
