You’re Invited: Target Hosts All-Night Fashion Party with Zac Posen

If you love fashion like we do you know how rare it is (unless you’re a celebrity or something) to get a sneak peek or a chance to buy your favorite designer labels before the collection is fully released to the public. Well, if you’re in Manhattan right now you have until 11pm tonight to do just that. Go on early bird, you’ll probably get the best selection if you start shopping while everyone else is sleeping.

Zac Posen has released another runway-inspired line for Target, after a hugely successful previous release, which will debut April 26th. The anticipation must be too much to bear because Target is launching its first-ever 24-hour shopping party-complete with designer Zac Posen himself.

The whimsical and fantasy-filled collection spans the spectrum of femininity to androgyny. Women’s suits and long floral gowns are indicative of what you should expect to see a full 10 hours before the line goes public. There are plenty of brights and floral prints to keep in line with the more upbeat feel of clothing this spring that’s lifting spirits and sales.

We love the idea of an all-night party, and adding shopping to the mix is an all-around dream come true. We can’t wait to get our hands on some of the goods. If you need an inspiration, here are a few of the looks we’d line up to buy. Don’t miss out on this one-time event, see you there!

Pamela Love X Zac Posen at Opening Ceremony

Jewelry designer Pamela Love’s collaborations have been aplenty (Marchesa, Bloomingdales, Twenty8Twelve and more). For Zac Posen’s Fall 09 show she whittled “whimsical, punk-Victorian inspired chokers, cuffs and horned headbands” which are now available at Opening Ceremony.

Next up are her Where The Wild Things Are leaf-crown cuffs, necklaces and other of the storybook’s accessories – also a collab with OC.

Love’s style is daggers and talons sharp with a Gaelic-princess bend but changes based on the project. Materials remain metal (gold, silver, bronze, vermeil) with fairytale and mysticism consistent. A darling to high fashion and commercial clients alike, there’s a lot to love.

Posen Goes International

Gabrielle Hennessey — Mon, 30 Nov 2009 19:00:22 +0000

One of our favorite dapper gentlemen is expanding his fashion empire: Zac Posen is slated to release a lower-priced capsule collection in conjunction with Target’s Go International line.

This announcement comes on the heels of news about Z Spoke, Posen’s exclusive Saks Fifth Avenue collection, and we’re pleased that designers like Posen are attempting to appeal to us more plebeian fashionistas.

Target is giving us a lot to look forward to in the coming months — next up is Rodarte and, with Posen and Gaultier waiting in the wings, we’re definitely eager for the new year to begin.

Z Spoke And We’re Listening

Gabrielle Hennessey — Wed, 18 Nov 2009 23:58:48 +0000

Zac Posen joins fellow designers Doo-Ri, Thakoon, and Richard Chai, et al., in creating a lower-priced line called Z Spoke, which will be available exclusively at Saks Fifth Avenue for spring 2010.

We’re certainly surprised by the preview of the 60-piece line; rather than being a “Zac for less” or a “sister collection,” Z Spoke is meant to speak to a different consumer entirely and is comprised of breezy American sportswear basics in cheery, optimistic colors and prints, which would look right at home in the closet of a Lower East Side fashionista.

Another One Bites The Dust: Rumored Layoffs for Posen and Gucci

Kelleen Kaden — Thu, 12 Nov 2009 09:16:32 +0000

After the “elimination” of the Vice President of Communications position formerly held by Karen Duffy whose responsibilities are now being divided by Zac Posen’s mother Susan and long-time Director of Public Relations and Celebrity, Alexandra Smith, major layoffs are expected to continue to shake the showrooms of Posen and now… Gucci! While it may have been a foreseeable regret for a new label like Posen in these tough times, it’s an even more devastating defeat for fashion powerhouse Gucci. Chanel had a round of layoffs that affected mostly contract workers, and luxury makers in general have had a difficult 2008. There have been glimmers of hope that economic difficulties wouldn’t continue to 2010, but these recent developments make us wonder. If fashion heavyweights are still shedding staff, just how long will it take for a full recovery? With investors in other sectors returning to the table, we hope that retail and fashion aren’t far behind.
