This may be confusing, but please, try to follow. Zac Posen, a Hollywood darling and up and coming fashion upstart, is known not for his freshness, nor his tasteful regurgitation of style. He is instead known for his "timeless nostalgia." It makes me wonder how old one must be to look back on their youth, and if this nostalgia, a chic irony, is intentional (which would make it more ironic) or if it is a collection of heirloomed memories that have been passed down?
We all look back and recant on, well, everything. So is it possible for those memories to be revamped and retooled and sold back to us? Experiences that younger generations never lived being paraded down catwalks and runways as updates on themes we ourselves enjoyed, and the "creator" only lives second hand. Are our new desingers only working on consignment?
