About the brand

Zac Posen was an American luxury fashion label founded in 2001 by designer Zachary E. Posen at age 20. Born and raised in New York's SoHo neighborhood, Posen began his fashion journey early, starting design work at age 4 and professionally entering the industry at 16. The brand became synonymous with glamorous evening gowns and cocktail dresses that were both sexy and elegant, quickly gaining recognition when supermodel Naomi Campbell wore his design in 2000. Posen's sophisticated and polished aesthetic attracted A-list celebrities including Beyoncé, Michelle Obama, Natalie Portman, and Meryl Streep. His philosophy centered on creating clothing that 'transports, protects and enhances the wearer.' The brand earned critical acclaim, including the CFDA Swarovski Perry Ellis Award for Womenswear in 2004. After nearly two decades of success, the label ceased operations in November 2019 due to financial challenges, marking the end of an influential era in American fashion.

I truly was blown away by everything I tried IRL; the fabrics were stretchy and, thus, comfier than usual, the silhouettes flattering, and the prices totally reasonable.

My closet was missing a simple black LBD, and when I tried on this 100-percent cotton pick from the new GapStudio collection, I knew it was the missing piece. It's so flattering (there's some magic in this fabric, ya'll), but still so comfortable and soft.

The last few bags I've purchased and loved actually no longer are in production. Zac by Zac Posen and Welden Bags. I'm so bummed. Besides my Madewell bags, these were all I owned. And they were so cool, a bit unique and so well made.

This dress was absolutely PERFECT for a beach wedding in June. The fabric is light and flowy and the fit was perfect.

I definitely recommend that you try this because just the way that the dress is cut. and sewn together it gives the illusion of curve. even if you don't have it

The rich fabric was also thick and durable, unlike many satin dresses that feel paper-thin.

The wide-leg sailor jeans, too, are fitted and flared where it flatters most – textbook Posen.

However, if you have a smaller chest like me, you might experience minimal gapping at the sides—though that can easily be fixed with a special bra, pinning, or fashion tape.

First impressions? Slightly chaotic. The plasticky corset belts cut across the fluidity of otherwise impeccably tailored pieces. Ignore them.
