Week 5

Zac Posen creates ready to wear collections comprised of day wear, suiting, and evening wear.  He has also recently branched out with accessories such as handbags.  His merchandise is for women of a diverse age range that are sophisticated, feminine, and glamorous.  With a hefty price tag that comes along with most of his items, the majority of his customers are celebrities and upper class socialites.  All of his pieces are classic and he smartly steers away from fads and trendy styles.  A few of my favorite pieces from his latest Resort 2014 Collection are pictured below.  Zac's prices are very steep for the Collection- averaging at about $3,000 for a gown.  His lower-priced line, ZSpoke, hits at the upper hundreds range and it comprised of some of his more casual merchandise.  This week was much like the past few weeks in terms of what I was doing.  For most of the week, a few of the other interns and I worked on inserting boning into one of his ball gowns ordered by a client of his.  See below for a picture of the amazing gown!  I was decently busy this week but was able to have some downtime to sketch my own designs.  Like always, I'm looking forward to next weeks challenges and experiences!
