在時裝的領域，似乎年齡從不是決定一個人“Made It”的界線：Yves Saint Laurent在21歲接手Dior、Olivier Rousteing 在24歲成為Balmain的創意總監。還有Zac Posen，我們對他名字熟悉是因為頻繁出現在盛大紅毯的魚尾裙禮服一看就是他標誌性的設計。他2001年建立起自己同名品牌Zac Posen時年僅20歲，如今在跨入2020年時 ，他卻突然宣佈將關閉整個House of Z的經營，並解散團隊，剛剛展出的2020春夏系列也不會生產。

他向Vogue透露一直在尋找合適的生意夥伴可以時限耗盡，且整個行業氣候並不輕鬆，因此做出如此決定。Zac Posen在自己Instagram發佈感人的團隊合照，感謝每一位員工的付出以及為他們多年來的成果感到驕傲。
I’ve been personally trying to find the right partner for some time. But time ran out, and the difficult climate out there...it’s not an easy time in our industry.
Zac Posen
曾為Oprah Winfrey、天后蕾哈娜Rihanna、Ariana Grande等設計優雅禮服的Zac Posen成名要數2002年，女演員Natalie Portman出席Star Wars首映時成為了第一位穿著他第一個系列作品的明星，一條復古的黑白小禮服已看出他對女性線條的了解及剪裁的精緻。很快，他成為了紅毯名人甚至是皇室的最愛，他擅長以胸衣和褶皺的魚尾裙擺將每一位女人的優點凸顯得恰到好處。因此在Met Gala上，總是能看到身穿Zac Posen的明星，2014年性感女郎Dita Von Teese和中國超模劉雯的禮服更成為了經典。
他一直活躍在公眾視野也不斷在設計上做出創新，今年他與GE合作開發了新技術，為2019年Met Gala Deepika Padukone的玫瑰色禮服製作了玫瑰花結，並為Jourdan Dunn製作了三維花藝合奏。無庸置疑，沒有Zac Posen的紅毯一定會少了什麼，就讓我們一起回顧Zac Posen帶來的近二十年的經典回憶，畫下句點。
