Fashion Week Spring 2011: Z Spoke by Zac Posen

I’ve watched Zac Posen for a couple years now and profiled him last year because of an edgy and flirty frock Rihanna wore that had me swooning and now this past Fall Zac launched the newest counterpart to his namesake label, Z Spoke.

I like Zac’s work for being unexpected and playful and while I wouldn’t say all of his pieces from the Z Spoke collection are all that wearable, he certainly has a fan following as I watched the show with Claire Danes, Carmen Electra, Kristin Cavallari, Kimora Lee and Russell Simmons, Jay Manuel, Estelle and Michelle Trachtenberg (among others, I’m sure).

The Spring 2011 collection featured a wide mix of fabrics including silk, voile, raglan and jersey. The looks were playful and came in a variety of bright colors like yellows and reds, contrasted with blacks and grays. The models had uber curly hair pinned atop their head, massive amounts of intense eye color and sparkly glasses that were reminiscent of the 1950s (like at Cynthia Rowley).

Here are some of the looks that were watched by 1,300+ people at the Lincoln Center yesterday evening.

Favorite look from the Z Spoke collection.


Zac’s take on the pant suit.

Really like this dress as well because of the flirty details.

I was far from the runway in the massive Theater tent so only took a few pics, but here are a couple:


Carmen Electra looking good for a near 40 year old. I want my hair to barrel curl like this btw!

My Mercedes-Benz Fashion Week Lineup

Hi lovelies! I’m writing to you from the skies (got to love Virgin America’s in-flight WiFi) on my way to New York for what promises to be a fabulous week of work and play. Like last season, I’m once again very lucky to have a fabulous line up of designers’ collections to see grace the runways and I could not be more excited.

I’ll be tweeting throughout the week (like, tweeting, A LOT. Consider yourself warned :) ) so be sure to follow me on Twitter if you don’t already!

Friday:

Edition Georges Chakra

Ports 1961 (if last February’s show was any indication, this will be wonderful again)

Nicole Miller

Saturday:

Cynthia Rowley (So was not expecting this invite, but was thrilled when it came into my inbox!)

Z Spoke by Zac Posen

Sunday:

Rebecca Minkoff (I’ve missed so many of Rebecca’s chic press events in the past due to being based in San Francisco so I’m giddy over going to this one. If you read WIT & Whimsy often you know I adore her. I also am betting on her showcasing her new shoe collection which will be awesome to get a sneak peek at in person.)

Cynthia Steffe (Cynthia is a favorite designer of mine and her show last February was super chic)

Monday:

Tracy Reese (She’s the master of fun prints so this collection I’m sure will be punchy all the way down the runway)

Monique Lhuillier (In the words of Rachel Zoe, I DIE.)

Betsey Johnson

Tuesday:

Tibi (Another favorite designer – as seen here)

Wednesday:

Nanette Lepore (I love what Nanette does with color so I have no doubt this show will be pure fun. Andrea and I write about her pieces quite often)
