New York fashion week

Zac Posen
The young, highly cultured Zac Posen took his brain and scissors to Shaker country with a collection of soft-toned romantic and demure clothes. Long white skirts with neat organza blouses swept out under fitted sandstone linen jackets, while masculine inspired tunics were belted over long slim trousers. The designer is equally at home with tailoring as he is with the grand dress - they poured out.

Standouts included a fringe silk strapless swirl skirted number, a long sinuous purple silk gown with a feathered hem and a line-up of marblelised silk dresses with gentle folded and draped skirts. Glamour is looking deeply romantic and a touch eco for spring.
