From dressing celebrities on the red carpet and the First Lady, to scoring a prestigious spot on the Project Runway judging panel, Zac Posen is one of the hottest names in fashion right now – and it’s easy to see why.
I recently attended the 32nd San Francisco Ballet Auxiliary Fashion Show Luncheon at the Fairmont Hotel last Friday, which featured Posen’s Fall 2013 collection. While attendees sipped wine and lunched on fresh salad and sea bass, glamorous gowns and eveningwear separates in rich jewel tones floated down the runway. The collection celebrates femininity, with elaborate draping and bias cuts softening his signature architectural details.
In particular, an off-the-shoulder ruffled black gown, an intricately embroidered citrine gown and an inky black gown with exaggerated billow sleeves received several gasps and applause from the well-heeled audience of ballet supporters.
