"A designer who truly knows a woman's body"

- Haute Child

The Brookyn reared designer Zac Posen has been making prominent strides in many facets of his business this year. So far he has a Zac Posen  for Target Australia line  in over 75 stores down under and the US. Plus, he recently launched his very own plus size line at Saks Fifth Avenue deemed Z Spoke. The contemporary line is a bit atypical from his usual short cocktail dresses as he describes as more of a daywear collection. Posen added colorful pieces that a size 16 could wear and told The Cut; 

"I don't think it's about women feeling always just skinnier. I think it's about women feeling comfortable and embracing their bodies. As a designer, that's always been my philosophy."

No wonder he has one of the largest celebrity clientele that faithfully show his gowns on the red carpet every year and the best dates too. Plus we hear he's besties with Natalie Portman.

Established Adolescent

Best year ever definitely goes to America's new sweetheart 17 year old Karlie Kloss. Her classic yet fresh look seems driving designers crazy as their go to girl or muse to many legendary labels. Her numerous ad campaigns are with top haute brands such as  Hermès, Oscar de la Renta, Chloé and the face of Marc Jacob's Lola fragrance campaign. Kloss isn't living any average 17 year olds schedule of college tours but more like bookings and casting calls with top designers. Quoted in WWD saying, "It's incredible that I get to be in the same room with Grace Coddington and legends and icons who have shapped the industry and the world in many ways."At least she's gracious about her jam packed schedule. Could Kloss continue her reign and start the return of the American Supermodel era?
