Zac Posen to design dress collection for Lord & Taylor

Another step in the attempted cool-ification of Lord & Taylor: Design darling Zac Posen will launch an exclusive collection of dresses from his lesser-priced Z Spoke line for the department store. Posen will design 12 dresses in a versatile palette using materials such as lace, faille and jersey. Prices will range from $149 to $199, and items will hit L&T stores and website April 30.
