It was the great fashion grand dame Diana Vreeland, after all, who said it's not just about the dress; it's about the life you lead in the dress. Neiman Marcus, which toasts its 110th anniversary this fall, has for 44 years transformed its downtown flagship store for a one-day fashion show featuring the Ten Best Dressed, plus a bonus: One of fashion's most recognizable designers jets in to present his or her latest collection. This year, design darling Zac Posen will do the honors, staging a full runway spectacle in the Neiman Marcus couture salon, which will be cleared of its mannequins and display cases and fully outfitted with a catwalk and stage lights. Posen's glamorous, feminine approach to design — and his charming, effusive personality — will no doubt cause a stir that September afternoon. In fact, his anticipated arrival already has: The Fashion Show and Luncheon sold out in May. The savviest socials know those runway-side seats don't stay vacant for long. Here, the Ten Best Dressed Women of Dallas photographed in Zac Posen's latest, at the Rosewood Mansion on Turtle Creek — a perfect locale as Posen is a Rosewood Ambassador for the storied hotel, and considers it his home away from New York.
