Nipped waists and flared skirts. "American Royalty takes a trip east — this collection was inspired by 50s American couture, Charles James, and Cristobal Balenciaga," stated Zac Posen in his Pre-Fall 2012 couture-esque collection. With nearly ten years under his belt, Posen continues has been draping a woman’s physique recently in stunning silhouette flattering designs and this collection is not an exception.
With model Hilary Rhoda posing in each design, enjoy perusing through the simply luxurious pieces.

That first dress is amazing! What a classic.
ReplyDeleteWow! Zac Posen really knows how to dress women's bodies! Wish he could dress me too... ;)
ReplyDeleteHoly Cow!!! I LOVE the first scarlet dress!! Amazing craftsmanship and design in these dresses!
ReplyDeleteLove your blog as well, first time stopping by, great images!
Cristobal Balenciaga's influence is obvious. Even Hilary's poise reminds me of Henry Clarke's photos of models wearing Balenciaga in the '50s. The coat in the second image is simply gorgeous!
