Zac Posen
Zac Posen has been making stunning gowns and dresses since debuting his ready-to-wear collection (at only 21 years old!) in 2002. Known for his streamlined, 40s-inspired, high-glamour designs, Zac Posen's strong, feminine aesthetic is loved by impact-making stars like Reese Witherspoon, Katy Perry, and Kate Winslet. A graduate of the pre-college program at Parsons School of Design, he was mentored by curator Richard Martin at the Costume Institute, then attended London’s prestigious Central Saint Martins College. Upon returning to NYC in 2001, Posen set up an atelier in his parents' living room, and in 2004 he received the Perry Ellis award for womenswear. Luckily for his fabulous fans, the wunderkind shows no signs of slowing down.
