About

Zac Posen is an American fashion designer.

Zac Posen was born in Brooklyn in 1980. Posen was raised in the SoHo neighborhood of lower Manhattan, the Jewish son of artist Stephen Posen and corporate lawyer Susan Posen. His interest in fashion design started early, and as a child he would steal yarmulkes from his grandparents' synagogue to make ball dresses for dolls.

He attended Saint Ann's School, a private school in Brooklyn, and in his sophomore year interned with fashion designer Nicole Miller. At age 16 he enrolled in the pre-college program at Parsons The New School for Design. He graduated from Saint Ann's in 1999.
