The American designer has a new Sportswear endeavor in this 60 piece collection.

A palette of neutrals with pops of green, pink and red gives the collection a retro vibe, or an “urban hipster quality” as Posen puts it.</p> <p>Posen has clearly stressed on saying that Z Spoke is not a celebrity brand, but one more attuned to the street. That said, he’s not looking to add to glut of tough T-shirts and distressed jeans, rather he has treated a T-shirt as a T-shirt should be treated. And that&#8217;s with lots of love.</p> <p>What&#8217;s your thoughts on this new Z-Spoke line?</p></blockquote> <p><br/><a href="http://www.fashionfame.com/2009/11/z-spoke-zac-posens-new-line-for-spring-2010/">Z Spoke: Zac Posen&#8217;s New Line for Spring 2010</a></p>
