5 Reasons I love Isaac Mizrahi

5 Reasons I love Isaac Mizrahi

  1. He makes clothes that are for women, not hangers or size 0 models.  Channeling the stylish likes of Jackie O, Hepburn, and the woman sitting next to you on the bus.  He designs clothes for every woman that are timeless.
  2. He is not afraid of colour.  No bland Helmut Lang minimalism here, or flamboyant lunacy of Victor and Rolf.  Mizrahi makes frocks not statements, although looking amazing is always a great statement. 
  3. He made a movie called Unzipped with a see through wall during a runway show to literally make the fashion world translucent and viewable to all.  And he did this in the height of the fabled 90’s supermodel days, so it is ohh so glamorous, while still being interesting for those who could care less what hair cut Evangalista had then.
  4. He designs collections for anybody’s budget! Most recently he has been working with Target and has also been breathing life into the Liz Claiborne franchise.   Both saw his signature garden style dresses and accessories to make you yelp with joy and all at very affordable prices.
  5. And lastly he rocks because when I tried on one of these lovely dresses I found it a little too big, thinking I had on a 14 I went looking for a 12.... only I was wearing the 12. That magnificent man had made the dress sizes fit bigger than the printed size.  So I can buy a size 10 or even an 8 with a Cheshire smile knowing this is just another perk of wearing anything by Mizrahi.  The man knows how to please a woman.
