Photo Courtesy of WWDI didn’t realize until reading WWD this morning that Zac Posen was such a foodie. Turns out he cooks three times a week (even after the Met Ball), And like so many of us, his obsession began with cooking shows, and Martha. “I was a very depressed middle-school student and I watched [those shows] avidly,” he said. “And then Martha Stewart changed my life. Her first cookbook [Entertaining] was given to my mom, but I took it.”
If you want to taste some of what Zac has to offer, he’s cooking with Giada De Laurentiis and Aquavit chef Marcus Samuelsson at a charity event during the Food Network New York City Wine & Food Festival. Tickets aren’t cheap ($325) but the money goes to hunger organizations. And we’re pretty sure the presentation will be divine.
We know Peter Som is supposed to be a pretty wicked chef too and we’d love to score an invite to one of his dinner’s parties. So, what designer’s aesthetic would you want to see applied to food? As much as I love Karl and Diet Coke (or Coca Lite), I would definitely need a more substantial meal. Stella could probably convince me to go veggie for the night. But I’m thinking Galliano might be my guy for an over-the-top feast.
