    Zac Posen

    Zac Posen

    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. Listen now as Posen steals our hearts and the conversation (actually, though)—the only guest who can pull that off so charmingly. Enjoy!

Sydbro! ,

The best podcast style I’ve ever heard

As a huge reality tv star (more specifically anything Bravo), I had heard of Evan many times before but never got around to listening. Having Ariana Grande on was the perfect reason to start this podcast and I’m so glad I did! I have listened to all of her interviews but this was by far the most informative one that allowed her to speak HER piece while also giving her fans what they want to hear (tour, more music teasers, interaction with J. Coolidge…). But the main reason I decided to write this review is because it felt so REAL. Evan was able to ask all of the public’s questions in a most respectful way but still allow her to respond to fans (and haters) in a way that she was comfortable with. Evan clearly planned this well and I’m sure he does this for all of his guests.
