DESIGNER: Zac Posen

INSPIRATION: From the designer himself: “There is a very serendipitous quality to this collection. With its sophisticated palette, sculptural manipulation of luxurious materials and skillful tailoring applied to tech fabrications, it transcends trends without looking away from what women desire. We have amplified the daywear offering, while preserving the couture approach required by our clothing.”

TRENDS: Architectural lines, voluminous skirts, industrious materials, fluttering capelets, low backlines, jewel-tones, amplified daywear, menswear-inspired slacks

PALETTE: Ivory, beige, navy, moss

WHO SHOULD WEAR IT: A working lady who’s always searching for a feminine alternative to the traditional skirt suit. Her after-hours activities sometimes include black-tie affairs where ball gowns as extravagant as Posen’s are entirely welcome.
