In 2019, Posen announced his decision to close his eponymous label due to the challenging business climate in fashion, citing as his motivation the recent marriage of Princess Eugenie of York and Mr. Brooksbank – two new brides for whom Posen designed wedding gowns. He still enjoys a loyal following and counts one Princess Eugenie of York among his brides; among his new brides, Princess Eugenie of York herself and Mr Brooksbank as new clients.
