look. >> reporter: when zac posen's fall and winter 2016 collection debuted last night the fashion world took notice. why are all the fabrics on the ground? >> they're doing coloration. >> reporter: creating gracefulness by way of sim simplicity made the 35-year-old one of the brightest fashion talents. his well known clients regularly land magazine covers and leading roles. flashing >> reporter: last month demi moore wore vintage dress by posen to the s.a.g. awards. posen created the dress in 2002. >> we put a dress on her from my second collection, she wore it. kind of showed hollywood this its what a great star is. this is the power of it. that's not something you can create. >> reporter: what is the business effect of such a high profile actress wearing one of your gowns? >> you can't directly necessarily quantify it unless

star at the moment. >> reporter: when posen got his start, 14 years ago, department stores sold his lines. now, as shopping habits evolve, he is ready to sell his pieces directly to his customers on line. >> reporter: you are going straight to e-commerce instead of the zac posen storefronts? >> i didn't want rent right now. >> reporter: right. >> i didn't want inflated rent. i would love to have a store. i did e-commerce first because i wanted to directly have the dialogue with the consumer. >> reporter: that dialogue include his contemporary line, a collaboration with david's bridal, engagement rings he designs, all while creating his namesake fashion shows twice a year. is burnout an issue at all? >> it has become a huge issue within fashion. the pace is enormous. the pressures are very high. >> reporter: when i read burnout

the fashion industry was talking about, one reaction that i had was like, well you are not pumping gas for a living, digging ditches or working in construction, real physical costs of burnout. is it fair? is that term a little bit -- >> it's fair because it is real. however, working within fashion is an honor and a great luxury. there is no question. listen, creative burnout and physical burnout is real. there are moments when i get home after overseeing almost 16 collections a year, you know, where i can't move. >> reporter: in addition to those 16 yearly collections, posen is also pairing up with brooks brothers. the brand recently chose him as the its creative director. >> oh, wow. look at this. >> welcome. >> reporter: nice display here. >> welcome to our world of brooks brother women. >> reporter: posen's characteristic style, hour-glass gowns, billowing trains, colors

practical tone. on the floor of the global retailer. because, when i follow you on instagram, you do big dresses, spinning like this, full skirt comes out. it's like my gosh, the design element and everything. big couture fashion as you say. this is different. >> yes, this is very different. this is streamline. great discipline on my part. of not overdetailing. >> you don't want to put a big. you want a -- >> no, no, no. this is about making people look chic on the street. >> reporter: collaboration gives posen experience to hone what the working woman wears. >> i wear a dress. because then i don't have to pick the top and bottom to go together. >> i think that's smart. >> i think dresses are really smart, liberating. >> separates thing too hard to coordinate in the morning. >> okay, that's -- >> good. just put it on. set to go. dresses have the power. >> knit suiting. >> knit suiting. comfortable on the go. >> reporter: the idea that a designer known for his thousand

unbelievable. >> we have to do color story. but posen's perch in the fashion industry is distinctly democratic. what about someone who says, well, zac posen dresses models, hollywood actresses, and now "i will not look good in anything from brooks brothers?" i'm a regularly shaped woman. >> the steam starts coming out of my ears. since the beginning of my career i have publicly dressed and represented women of all sizes, of all colors. and that's the big part of who i am.

the grammys provided a showcase for lamar's racially charged message, as well as the pure pop stylings of taylor swift who won album of the year for "1989." swift used her acceptance speech to empower women after some of kanye west's recent lyrics claimed he was responsible for making her famous. >> there are going to be people along the way who will try to undercut your success. and you don't let those people side track you. some day when you get where you are going, you will look around, and you will know it was you and the people who love you who put you there. >> a strange sound like an out uf tune guitar marred adele's performance and then her mic dropped out. adele tweeted, the piano mics

that's what the guitar sound was. it made it sound out of tune. blank happens. and rihanna who sang sunday night at a grammy event pulled out of the award show at the last minute. her reps claiming fighting an infection and unable to perform. despite the glitches, other artists shined. ground control to major tom lady gaga transformed herself into multiple personas to pay tribute to the late david bowie. the grammy awards took a nostalgic turn paying tribute to artists who recently passed away. jackson brown joined the surviving eagles to celebrate the late glen frey. take it easy stevie wonder joined an acapella tribute to earth, wind, fire's maurice white. lionel ritchie given a tribute for his music and humanitarian efforts. all night long and showed he still has what it
