House of Z

Posted by jessamylauren on
During my reading week at University, I watched a documentary on Netflix called House of Z, and it is about the rise, the fall and the comeback of American fashion designer Zac Posen.
House of Z gives us a truthful insight into the childhood of Zac, his upbringing, educational choices and how he dealt with being thrust into the spotlight.
This documentary includes exclusive behind the scenes footage and interviews family, friends, critics, journalists, and fashion insiders. They focus a lot on his relationship with his sister, Alexandra.

What I enjoyed about this documentary was that they did not shy away from the truth. I was able to understand all the factors and really see the journey and understand what he went through. It was very authentic which I feel really made it a very interesting documentary to watch. I’ve never had a favourite fashion designer but some of Zac Posen’s dresses are absolutely stunning, especially a few recent red carpet appearances, specifically Claire Danes at the Met Gala in 2016, beautiful, absolutely beautiful!

I felt he not only changed as a designer but stepped up and accepted that he also needed to change as a man when House of Z came crashing down.

I really recommend you guys giving it a watch if you are a fan or just want to know a little backstory into some of today’s well-known designers and what it takes to make it in this industry.
