Fashion: Zac Posen to Revive Charles James Fashion House

Reports has it that the designer is to relaunch one of the most iconic couturiers of all time.

Last year's Met Gala theme paid homage to one of fashion's greatest couturiers of all time, Charles James, and now the iconic fashion house is set to make a major comeback. After purchasing the Charles James label last year, Harvey Weinstein has reportedly now enlisted Zac Posen to help revitalize the brand, according to Page Six. Posen will join Georgina Chapman (Weinstein's wife and co-founder of Marchesa) to spearhead the relaunch of the couturier's label and will continue work on his own eponymous brand. Marchesa co-founder Keren Craig and Marchesa CEO Edward Chapman will also play key parts in the Charles James brand.  Like James, Posen is known to embrace over-the-top glamour in swoon-worthy ball gowns, making him a natural choice to helm the reigns of the label's comeback.
