Every single season, I am reminded of why Zac Posen is my absolute favorite designer. With his combination of vintage, retro, and Victorian, his Fall 2009 Ready to Wear collection was no exception. His statement on the collection being a combination of 1940′s inspired vintage and Victorian was, “They were both times of sculpting clothing.” These influences can definitely be seen in his designs this fall through his use of ruffles, shaped shoulders, and skirts. Zac Posen also threw in unexpected twists, such as metallic fabrics and bold details.

While I did try to limit myself to the number of pieces from the Zac Posen Fall 2009 Ready to Wear collection here, I just couldn’t limit it down that much. Posen’s work always amazes and inspires me. What do you think of his Fall 2009 Ready to Wear collection?
