Zac Posen SS 2016 New York Fashion Week    

“La leggerezza è la chiave di lettura che definisce la collezione. Volevo aggiungere un’abbondante dose di fluidità nella formula senza rinunciare al punto di vista femminile delle mie creazioni. L’idea è quella di fondere tecniche couture nell’abbigliamento da giorno e al contempo portare il comfort del mood da giorno nei vestiti da sera.”

“Lightness defines the collection. I wanted to inject a fair bit of fluidity into the formula without relinquishing the essentially feminine point of view of my designs. The idea is to blend couture techniques into the daywear and, in turn, to bring the daywear comfort into after-­dark  dressing.”

Spring 2016 opens with a targeted color palette : navies, black, and whites – and highlights the house artisanal craftsmanship with an agile showcase of daywear and separates.

The collection stages a new attitude without forgoing the intricate tailoring techniques that are applied equally to separates, daywear, and eveningwear. Light fabrications, such as cotton and silk charmeuse, are draped softly and feature bar tack stiches to give the garments a deconstructed feel. Hashtag bugle bead embroideries are handcrafted onto featherweight organza and sleeves, cuffs, and hems, connected with staple-­‐like stitching, are infused with an elegance characteristic of the brand.

The Zac Posen woman, for Spring 2016, is revealed by the clothes, by a gesture.
