On the Road... Tokyo Calling... Posen's End Note...

POSEN’S END NOTE: Thanks to American Express, Zac Posen will have the final word of the New York spring collections. On Sept. 12 at 9:30 p.m., the financial and travel giant will take over the tents at Bryant Park for a private card-members-only show featuring Posen’s designs. “Zac is one of the most creative designers around,” said Jessica Igoe, director of marketing and sponsorships for American Express. “At retail, he’s definitely a card member favorite, so we’re very excited to present our clients this opportunity.” The event will begin with a reception, followed by a reprise of the designer’s spring show in the main tent. Afterward, Posen will take questions from the crowd. “This program is our way of enhancing the access our card members have to designers,” added Igoe. Beginning at 10 a.m. today, American Express card holders can purchase tickets to the event. Proceeds from ticket sales will contribute to the $500,000 donation American Express will make this year to the CFDA/Vogue Fashion Fund.
