Zac Posen Shuts Down Brand

In a report released today, Zac Posen is shutting down the brand he created in 2001 and ceasing operations.

“The board made a difficult decision,” Posen said to WWD. “We were in a sale process and we ran out of time.”

A number of stars loved and admired Posen’s designs often wearing them for any and every red carpet event. In addition to being a judge on Project Runway, he even had his own documentary, “House of Z.”

Zac Posen also recently even showed during the last fashion week this fall. It’s unclear what will be in store for him next and while the brand has had its ups and downs over the last few years, we hope that this won’t be the end for Zac and his designs.

Emmy’s Red Carpet 2019

Zendaya in Vera Wang

Wow way to shut a red carpet down. After the game, I watched the red carpet on television and look after look, I continued to be underwhelmed. The show had begun and I still was refreshing different blogs to see if anything else would come in that would stun me. Halfway through the show was when we saw Zendaya. Channeling Poison Ivy vibes in this beautiful Vera Wang, she absolutely steals the show. After every award show, I always post my favorite 5-7 looks on Instagram Stories. This year, we only needed the one.

2019 Met Gala Red Carpet

Liza Koshy in Balmain

I had to look up the “Camp” theme several times to figure out what it truly meant. I’m still not quite sure if I understand the definition of it. My takeaway is that it’s pink, tulle, and crowns and we do not hate it. In all honesty, I’m a huge fan of the pink carpet and I loved many of the looks from the evening. However, I will say that this year was the most extravagant. What I loved about previous years was how wearable these looks have been and instead it’s turned into a little bit more of a spectacle than I would have liked. Maybe that’s what the point of the Met Gala is. It’s supposed to be a showcase of whimsey and imagination and if that’s the. case then I will get on board next year, but for now I want to hold onto what I thought made this event on the first Monday in May every year so special.

2019 Oscars Red Carpet

Constance Wu in Versace

The award show has only just begun, but we decided to get a head start on our post. There are so many standout looks this year and a few surprises. I found myself falling in love with a look worn by an actress who has a history of never having looks that impress me. Anything can happen! This year, the awards show is without a host, but we honestly haven’t noticed much of a difference. Here are the looks from this evening and I’ll be sure to indicate my favorites!

Critics’ Choice Awards Red Carpet 2019

Charlize Theron in Givenchy

Where was the red carpet special today on E?! I waited around all afternoon for it to come and when it didn’t, I was forced to watch “Little Italy” on Amazon Prime instead. My assumption was that E! covered all red carpets for major award shows, but was this not as important for some reason? Does having it air on CW have anything to do with it? Whatever the reason is, I didn’t want to miss an opportunity to highlight some stunning looks this evening. I have less favorites in this batch than from the Golden Globes, but enough to have five main favorites that I’ll be sharing on my Instagram in a bit!

2018 Emmys Red Carpet

Kristen Bell in Solace London

I’m not crazy right? The Emmys are usually on Sundays? Having it on a Monday completely threw me off my game and now it is 9:30 PM and I’m putting this post together. Honestly though, we all know I have OCD issues and there’s no way I could even get to bed without doing this first. And then of course picking my 5-8 favorite looks and adding them to my Instagram story. You’re welcome. Happy Monday!

I’m loving all of the classic black and white looks from the evening. There are also the tiniest details from two different shoes and belts that are so thin that you almost miss them. One take away from the night? Barely there makeup and slicked back hair for an effortless look. What are your favorite looks?

Zac Posen

The Resort 2019 collection is here and just getting started! Many of these collections tend to be much smaller than a normal fall or spring, but I tend to favor more of the selection. Since we started writing about fashion on Yow Yow! I’ve always featured the collections of every season – at least my favorites. Zac Posen has consistently been a highlight for me. When I think of his pieces, I envision strong, feminine pieces that are clean and crisp. It’s weird for me to call it crisp because when I think of crisp, I’m thinking of a white button-up of some sort, but will you just look at his work below? The lines, the folds and the fit – all perfection.

I spend a lot of my time watching Netflix – shows, films, originals, whatever. My favorite tends to be the documentaries in the fashion category. I don’t want to say that I watched House of Z and it changed everything for me, but it definitely did have an impact on how I viewed his work and where he came from. I learned so much from that documentary and watching that and others just continues to fuel my passion for the fashion industry. It actually is amazing at how opposite it is from my current life, but while fashion appears to be fun and freeing for those outside of that world, it also is incredibly demanding and at times heartbreaking. That seems to be the takeaway that I have from all of these documentaries and The Devil Wears Prada of course.

2018 Met Gala Red Carpet

Before I left the office tonight, my friend and coworker, Courtney, remarked that tonight’s Met Gala was the equivalent of a Super Bowl to anyone else. She wasn’t wrong! I put in the extra hours of work this weekend so that I could free up my Monday evening to work on crafting this post. Before I came home, I also went out for a glass of wine with a friend so that I could a) appreciate every look for the piece of art that is and b) to let my true opinions for every outfit shine through! Throughout the day in all my meetings, I was closely watching the coverage seeing bits and pieces here and there, but never spoiling it all for myself until I was able to digest it when I got home. I can’t imagine a better photograph to kick start this post.

This year’s 2018 exhibition was “Heavenly Bodies: Fashion and the Catholic Imagination.”
