Zac Posen is the 27 year old fashion designer born in Manhattan, NY. His designs have been worn by everyone from Beyonce Knowles to Helen Mirren and from Kate Winslet to Jennifer Lopez. In 2002 Posen showed his first ready-to-wear collection in New York City. Zac Posen is now a global luxury lifestyle brand presenting four ready-to-wear collections per year. In 2001, Posen constructed a gown entirely made from thin leather strips and dress-maker hooks and eyes that delivered a powerful commentary about the female figure.

After Posen asked Sean “P.Diddy” Combs to produce music for his runway show, the pair announced that Combs had invested an undisclosed amount in Posen’s business. Mattel even released a Posen inspired Barbie and Ken.
