Zac Posen Talks About Being a Fashion Designer!
posted in news |
Today, we got a chance to hear from Zac Posen, a fashion
designer who describes himself as a work-a-holic and perfectionist. Zac spoke about how he made it as a professional
designer (his clothing is sold at Neiman Marcus and Saks Fifth Avenue!) to a room full of
teens who won Scholastic Art & Writing Awards. In 1998, Zac himself won two
of these awards, one for a textile design and the other for a personal essay
about Martha Stewart. Around the same time, he won an award in mathematics. He said
he’s “not a prize or contest kind of person,” but we say: don’t be so modest,
Zac!
