RUNWAYTORETAIL: I know you've been creating designs for ages, even as a child, I heard that you were a cheeky lad, stealing yarmulkes from the synagogue to create ball gowns for dolls. Where does the drive to design come from for you?
ZAC POSEN: I’m influenced by the strength of the creative forces around me, the women in my life, art, my travels, horsebackriding, the women in my studio and visions that I see on the street.
RTR: Who influences your design? How do you keep the creativity flowing?
ZP: I think it’s important to make sure your life is filled with exploration, art, books, friends, family and good food.
ZP: The film was fantastic. Any story that encourages dreams, fantasy, consideration of family, devotion, struggle and determination is important. It’s the essence of creativity.
RTR: Let's talk about fit. Your dresses are renowned for their ability to shape and flatter female bodies and still retain a cutting edge accessibility. How do you do it?
ZP: I prefer to drape on a form, which allows me to really use the body and shape to create my designs.
RTR: For the fall collection, what was the inspiration and the mood that you're after?
ZP: For fall I wanted to experiment with textures, primaries, organza and alternative perspectives for feminine suiting.
RTR: Any big plans while you're here in
ZP: I am not in
