Zac Posen’s collections can seem from another time, a more romantic bygone era when dressing up was a duty. His shownotes referenced the Zoot Suit movement of the Forties, known for its high-waisted, wide-legged pegged trousers, which yielded some of the collection’s best looks: peplumed shirts over easy trousers and a long army green trench.
The tailoring was more timeless than some of the day dresses, which had a dusty throwback quality in bright floral with full skirts and cinched waists done up in seaming detail. The anatomical curves played best on Posen’s gowns, such as a navy silk style with blouson sleeves and cutout shoulders, which demand a good, ole fashion occasion.
