Zac Posen News: Designer Styles Bronx High School Teen For Talent Show
Fashion designer Zac Posen lent his styling skills to a lucky Bronx High School student when he offered to dress her in one of his own designs for a talent show at Radio City Music Hall.
InStyle reports that Posen, who has created outfits for the Radio City Music Hall "Spring Spectacular Show," found out about the student, Nyasia Booker, and reached out to help.
Booker, who was one of 22 performers, sang Maroon 5's "Sunday Morning" at the Garden of Dreams Foundation's annual Talent Show hosted June 18.
"Nyasia is an incredible and talented young woman," Posen said. "Performing on stage at Radio City Music Hall is a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity and I am thrilled to dress Nyasia in one of my gowns for such a special evening. I want everything to be absolutely perfect for her when she makes her debut on the Great Stage at the Garden of Dreams Talent Show."
Posen, who posted a photo on Instagram, styled Booker in a very familiar fuchsia mermaid-styled gown for the event. The gown was worn by one of Booker's favorite singers, Rihanna, for the 2007 MTV Video Music Awards.
The talent show was created to celebrate those who are part of the Garden of Dreams Foundation's 25 partner organizations, who are all dedicated to helping youth dealing with issues such poverty, illnesses and who are in the foster care system here New York City.
Posen, a native New Yorker, has been making efforts to give back to the New York City communities. Most recently he was featured in the New York Times for working with "The Fresh Air Fund," an organization that helps provide free summer experiences in the country for low income families.
