Zac Posen Keeps Z Spoke in New York For Resort and Beyond

Zac Posen hasn't entirely ditched his hometown of New York.

Zac Posen hasn't entirely ditched his hometown of New York. Although the designer is choosing to present his main collection in Paris this October (where "they understand the clothes"), Posen is keeping his sportier, secondary line, Z Spoke, in New York come fashion week. He recently showed what is only the second collection for Z Spoke, resort 2011. Staying true to his roots, Posen did best with flirty cocktail-inspired day dresses (a floral look with a bra top and full skirt especially stood out) but may have stretched a bit outside of his comfort zone with a few of the more casual, loungewear inspired looks. See the complete Z Spoke resort collection in the gallery below.

Sofia Coppola

>> Maryna Linchuk to Appear in Sofia Coppola's Somewhere — Maryna Linchuk worked with Sofia Coppola on a Dior commercial two years ago, so it's no surprise to hear that along with Erin Wasson, she'll be making an appearance in Coppola's upcoming film Somewhere.

Maryna was snapped on set by Sofia's niece Gia, left, and recently told Russian Tatler of the gig [Ed. note: translated from Russian]: "I appear in the movie for just a few minutes only to seduce the main character. Right now I’m a model. It’s difficult to combine several activities and do both of them professionally." [Fashin, No RespectiveTFS]

Now, there's talk that Pugh may land elsewhere. There was a rumor last Fall that Thierry Mugler was looking to fully relaunch his womenswear label for Spring 2011 under current Mugler artistic director Rosemary Rodriguez. Now, however, WWD reports that Mugler is looking to change the direction of the label and has approached several potential candidates.  One such candidate? None other than Gareth Pugh.
