Zac Posen ended his beautifully refined show with a quartet of "cloud" dresses - from nimbus to cumulus to cyclone - all in washed and dyed silk that was literally gathered and draped to look like a cloud bursting off a model's shoulder on top of a long gown or swirling around her torso in the case of a strapless shift. It was a touch of showbiz to top off a collection that was easily the designer's best. Drawing on the simple fabrics, shapes, and nature-inspired color palette...
