Softly Dramatic Fashion

The Zac Posen Resort 2014 Lookbook Stars Pat Cleveland

There are a ton of descriptors that can be attached to the Zac Posen Resort 2014 collection right off the bat: soft, feminine, romantic, pretty--really, there is no need to go on. Yet true to form, the American designer mixes in a range of show-stopping evening gowns that complement the 'safer' options perfectly. Essentially, he succeeds in showing the softer side of structure.

For instance, he adds "draped ruffles and overlays to his signature anatomical-seamed construction for results that felt more romantic, less aggressive than his work sometimes tends to be," as noted by Style.com. Coupled with a range of pastel hues, the Zac Posen Resort 2014 collection will enchant women for a variety of reasons. Modeled on Pat Cleveland, the designer jokes, "I'm breaking the lookbook age barrier."
