Stike a Pozen!

American Designer, Zac Posen, burst onto the fashion scene with more than just gorgeously artistic crafted clothing; Posen brought a new voice to American fashion. As other American designers such as Michael Kors and Donna Karan are losing their luxury luster, Posen’s feminine designs remind us just how enchanting Americans can be. From Beyonce Knowles, Claire Danes, Jennifer Lopez, Rihanna, Kelly Roland, Cameron Diaz, and Mischa Barton; young starlets are bustling on the red carpet showing off their womanly assets in Posen’s girlie frocks. His youth spills out into his designs, fun, flirty and whimsical. His collections and his fans accurately capture a multicultural glamour that is uniquely American.

“Success in fashion is one part talent, one part luck and one part a tireless ability to hold a gaudy marquee over your head. Posen has all these qualities in excess” says New York Times’ Cathy Horyn. Posen began honing his talent at an early age; after seriously studying fashion he launched his label just after his twenty-first birthday. Within two years of launching his line, luck came into the picture when Posen got a major break in 2004 and entertainment titan, Sean Combes made a significant investment in Pozen’s vision. As for the gaudy marquee over his head, Posen has definitely branded himself as the genius behind the clothes.

I love Posen because his clothes are prefect. I could wear something Zac Posen everyday for the rest of my life and I would feel fabulous, no doubt. His clothes are a wonderful representation of my generation, the Millennials, because he is a Millennial. Sure, his clothes are “youthful” now but that’s because our generation is youthful. As we age I suspect Zac Posen will take us into maturity with a certain kind class and elegance that is definitively American Millennial. How exciting it is to know we will still be fun, flirty, and whimsical at 50. Age appropriate of course.
