Creating cheaper collections has become very popular with high-profile designers. Now it’s Zac Posen who decided to make his works more affordable for customers as he created a collection of beautiful outfits under $100.
The collection is pretty and includes a number of dresses, suits, skirts and blouses. But what is surprising is that some pieces can be worn in various ways. For example a fiery-red dress has ruffles detachable.
We made the ruffles detachable, like a Judy Garland apron,” says the designer. “You can wear it as a skirt over the dress; undo it and drape it over your shoulders à la Cristóbal Balenciaga; or if you don’t want any frou, take it off and you have a sexy date dress.”
Several pieces can be donned to prom and the wearer will be able to say everyone that they sport designer items.
For those who perfect to stand out Zac designed a tuxedo that is not only a nod to vintage Saint Laurent but also to current events.
Lesbian proms have been such a big thing in the news lately,” Posen says. “Rather than create a fake subculture, I wanted to address things that are actually happening. It’s a kick-ass girl who can wear a tuxedo to prom! Don’t be afraid of drama,” he adds. “Prom is one of the few opportunities in life when you can fulfill any romantic desires you have.”
