House of Z - Zac Posen

Today I watched this documentary on Zac Posen and how his passion for creativity, curiosity, and determination lead him on a successful path of becoming a famous designer. When watching this documentary it really inspired me and opened my eyes to the fashion industry and the challenges that come with being successful. One thing that really caught my attention was when Zac's success was starting to deteriorate, he let other people and the fame change his original niche and style that made him successful in the first place. It taught me to always believe in yourself and your own creativity and to take other peoples opinions into account but not to let what they say to change who you are but to always develop your own conclusions and personal style. It was also inspiring to see how even tho his career in Fashion nearly ended, he never gave up and in the end was able to come back on top. Through this, it showed Zac's dedication and strength for something he loved. Even right from the start of the documentary, it was explained how hard he was constantly working. One thing Zac said that has really influenced me was, "I set a goal and just before I reach my goal I set it a little higher". He also took a lot of risks with his career. If he believed that the risk would better his company, even the slightest, he would take it. One of the risks he took was moving his whole team and house to Paris as he believed it would help put his brand back in a stronger position, which in the end it did.

 Overall, I LOVED this documentary. If there's anything you should watch it should be the house of Z. It has really inspired and motivated me to do better and to keep working hard towards my goals. I hope to carry the knowledge I have learned, the determination, curiosity, creativity, and strength from Zac Posen into my next module at uni.
