# What this collaboration is
# What the clothes look and feel like Altuzarra described the pieces as evoking windswept scenes—tiered skirts that move, harvest-toned color stories, and a sense of Romantic and Gothic fiction. Zac Posen framed the collection as making that romanticism wearable in urban life: pieces that work for drop-off at school, everyday elevation, and special occasions. The styling references include maxi dresses, overcoats, tiered swing skirts, fair isle mock-neck sweaters, and parka outerwear.
# What's new for Old Navy This collaboration is notable for expanding Old Navy's designer program to include coordinated sizing for women, girls, and toddlers. That first-time inclusion is intended to offer matching family moments across the capsule. The partnership also continues Old Navy's strategy of designer collaborations that aim to bring specialty design to broader audiences.

# How the creative partnership worked Zac Posen recounted that the collaboration began after a chance meeting and a visit to Altuzarra's show. He said he wanted to "stand for American design for an iconic American brand" and was drawn to Altuzarra's work and sensibility. Altuzarra explained his approach as marrying Old Navy's optimism and sportswear roots with Altuzarra's romantic femininity and storytelling through literature.
# How to think about wearing it The collection is positioned as versatile: pieces intended for everyday elevation and items that can suit a special event. Altuzarra emphasized breezy, windswept movement and harvest-inspired palettes, while Posen emphasized citywear and transitional fall dressing—outerwear and layered looks that respond to the season.
# Launch and shopping The capsule launched on Old Navy's website on September 30. The pieces are limited-time offerings sold through Old Navy's retail channels.
