Urgent episode drop! ERK chats with fashion designer and GAP’s newest creative director, ZAC POSEN as he reflects on his two-decades-long career. He shares how he trail-blazed celebrities and theatricalities into the flat fashion scene of the early 2000s, survived media pressure by the great CATHY HORYN, costume designed for RYAN MURPHY’s latest miniseries Feud: Capote vs. the Swans, found inspiration in his love of Broadway, and more.
