I bet you have heard this name on endless occasions - that is, if you're a fashion addict as most women are, and fantasize about wearing one of his unique gowns on a daily basis. But, wherever there's a huge top-notch party, a red carpet or the world's premiere of a movie, you'll surely see some lucky lady smiling and waving at fans, while she's dressed in a Zac Posen. Let's take a moment and see who this guy considered the new child prodigy of the catwalks is.

The first thing you should know about him is that although he's competing with some living legends in the industry, masters who have reshaped 20th century perception of fashion like John Galliano or Jean Paul Gaultier, Zac has just recently earned his right to drink alcohol. He was born in 1980 and grew up in one of An emerging young designerthe most exclusive places on earth - Manhattan, New York. I guess it's safe to say that he always knew what he wanted to do, since from a very ripe age he started working day and night in order to achieve his goal.

Even though he seems a natural at what he does, don't be fooled - he benefited from the best education money can buy. Apart from the fact that he grew up in the sophisticated and artsy BoHo, he was sent to private schools and when the time came for him to choose his future career, the lad went miles and miles away from his native country - all the way to London - so that he could study at Central Saint Martins College in London, one of the best schools in terms of architecture and design in the world.

Will he become a legend?With his mind set on taking by storm the world of fashion, Zac interned at the Metropolitan Museum's Costume Institute and afterwards he interned for Nicole Miller. Blessed with an amazing talent, sooner or later the world had to take notice of this new fresh face. Within just a few years, he began being credited as one of the foremost designers of his generation. Surely, his inborn charisma was of great help, because if you want to make it in this business you need people skills and Zac has a natural magnetism. One of the ingredients for his success lies in the fact that he goes out clubbing, meeting all the right people and noticing what the twentysomethings are wearing.

But perhaps he wouldn't have made it so far, had it not been for Sean P. 'Diddy' Combs, who truly helped this guy. In other words, they helped each other as Combs invested some heavy bucks in Posen's business. It was a match made in heaven - one had piles of money, the other had loads of talent. According to Todd With the lovely Dita Von TeeseKahn, Executive Vice President and Chief Operating Officer of Sean John, Diddy's fashion company 'The initial attraction was a very personal attraction. Sean saw in Zac the characteristics he saw in himself: an amazing talent and the ability to set the world on fire'.

These days, no high profile celeb event is complete if there isn't a lucky lady wearing some of Zac's signature curve-hugging gowns. But you can't be a promising young designer forever and he still has plenty to prove. But judging from his previous collections, we are to expect nothing but greatness from him.

Does he have the talent to become a legendary figure or is he merely a one-hit-wonder? IN or OUT?
