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.
