Zac Posen, fashion designer (October 24, 1980–present)

“Traditional licensing — beauty, fragrance, accessories — used to be the things that would help cash flow. Those markets have shrunk. Designers have to look at themselves and say I’m willing to take the risk and break from tradition. For designers today, what are alternative products or content that we can build? I believe brands will eventually become content providers and sell the ad space. Things are changing so it’s important to think outside the box.” —Zac Posen
