During reading weeks I had a chance to watch more fashion documentaries. One that took my interest was House of Z focused on designer Zac Posen. I'd heard of him before but couldn't put face to name. He's young and he had a fall that we watched him come back from. The first half of the film is optimistic following his beginnings and early career to see where he come from. He is known for one of a kind dresses for clients. Posen worked with his family, all creatives, growing up in artistic neighbourhood SoHo. However, the downfall slowly creeped up on me where he said he was hiding behind a facade to keep interesting. The company was no longer a family business anymore with lack of money being the root of problems. It was interesting to see the mindset of Posen and learn about his creative process and the industry. I didn't know his dress was inspired by the ceiling of the Guggenheim! It has a lot of hope and new perspective by the end. It was moving, feel-good and left me inspired.
Love,
Shaleen
