FabSugar has an interview with Zac Posen.
Styles that inspire you?
"More people on the street inspire me. It’s hard to be inspired by people’s styles in the moment. It’s usually better in reflection. That’s not saying there’s not many people who have great style. There are whole teams that build style and an image and a look. I love the Rachel Zoe show. I think it’s a great depiction, it really shows how hard the work is that goes behind building the looks more than the other fashion reality that exists. I thought Anne Hathaway looked really excellent in that dress of ours. It was quite exciting."

From an interview with The Fashion Time Magazine:
Lauren “Daisy” Lewellyn, if that name sounds familiar to you, it’s likely because you’ve seen her on a number of television programs including The View, Good Morning America, The Today Show, CBS Early Show, E News, The Learning Channel’s Dinner Takes All, BET’s My Model Looks Better than Your Model, and Fox 5 News, or read her in In Style, Marie Clare, Ambermag.com, Glamour, Heart & Soul, and Essence. ...
Fashion Time: Who are your favorite designers?
Daisy Lewellyn: Oh my, let me count the ways. Well, I absolutely adore Tracy Reese. Surprise surprise, I know, but I just am a total dress girl & Tracy gets it. I am also a fan of hers because she is one of the sweetest people that you could ever meet in NYC. Zac Posen is beyond a dream come true. Anything the man touches provides instant star quality! I also love Micheal Kors, I think he’s my favorite American designer. He’s such a jet setter! No matter what season he shows his collection, Spring or Fall, there is always a jetsetting element that stands alone. I’m all about a sunkissed glow year around, going away for a mini getaway with a beautiful boy! And Mr Michael’s collection scream this every season!!!
