If Carolina Herrera’s designs are for the mother then the next stop, Zac Posen provided perfect offerings for her daughter.
As notes from Israeli violinist Miri Ben-Ari filled the air and flowers, that were designed by artist Rosson Crow, appeared on fabrics Posen himself claimed that “If I do dress Upper East Side women, it’s just because I’ve had the immediate opportunity. But I see my clothes all over the country and in Sydney”.
We are pretty sure though that his clothes appear on the Upper East side, well, because they are well suited there.
Unlike his previous collection that comprised of debutante worthy ball gowns, the look this season was short and sharp with clean lines and more than a touch of luxury.
Hemlines appeared minx-ingly short with ruffles appearing from structured jackets. Silhouettes were tailored with jackets and high waisted trousers.
Turtlenecks were paired with mini skirts and there was plenty of uptown fur used as well as a colour palette of grey, camel, bronze chocolate, black, raspberry and purple.
The architectural feel to some of the clothes, perhaps inspired by the tall buildings that line Park Avenue, particularly a strapless bronze cocktail dress, as well as other items were ‘construction on the outside’ or ’40s Futurism’ as Posen called it. This meant clothes that have contrasting pieces of fabrics joined together and a glamorously modern take on a past era.
