Fashion Week spring 2010: Zac Posen

NEW YORK (AP) — Zac Posen did things differently Monday at New York Fashion Week. He switched from a nighttime blowout show to a tranquil morning one, a big venue to a small one and — most importantly — he presented clothes you might see someone wearing.
Posen had increasingly focused on dramatic, over-the-top clothes. Remember the whole Midwestern storm theme a few seasons back? All great looks if you happen to be an edgy multiplatinum rocker.
His 2010 spring collection was a complete switching of gears, with adorable, see-through, candy-colored raincoats setting the tone of an upbeat, youthful collection.
Posen hit on the floral trend with a gladiola-print gown with an open back, and a series of finale gowns with sequin flower appliques. He also used the trick of using cutouts to create sexy silhouettes without showing too much skin.
Posen, too, had draped pants emphasizing the hips that likely will be a hard sell to consumers. Dresses, including several color-blocked ones, seem like a safer choice.
For daytime he mixed lily pad-print blouses with lattice-pattern skirts — the best one made of black leather. For evening, there was an all-over black pleated gown with fanlike arms.
But for all this sellable stuff, Posen is still a showman at heart and couldn’t resist a few marabou feather jackets, in purple and green, no less.
