X, Y, Z is for

Zac Posen

While it might have been the Sex and the City bridesmaid dresses that shunted Zac Posen’s designs swiftly into the public eye, he’s actually been an established face in fashion for nearly six years. Famed mostly for his evening-wear (forward-thinking Rachel Bilson is a big fan), that’s not where his talents end. Taking inspiration from such diverse influences as the Shakers and Minnie Mouse, Posen’s clothes aren’t necessarily practical for ‘real folk’ like us, but then none of the best clothes are, wouldn’t you say?
