MObama’s Art, Karl’s Clothes, And More…
Cintra Wilson reviews Isaac Mizrahi’s new shop (remember, he’s not calling it a store) and ends up reviewing Isaac himself. He’s the “Falstaff of the fashion world,” she writes, which, we think, is a sneaky way of saying he’s lovably loud. [NYT]Turns out there was no truth to the rumor circulating earlier this week [...]
Karl’s New Pop Star, Hermès Moves In, And More…
Following up Beth Ditto’s extremely fleshy performance at Fendi’s Paris fashion week party last season is no easy feat, but Herr Karl has deemed 18-year-old British pop star Pixie Lott (that’s her at left) up to the task. Whether or not she disrobes, this gig basically guarantees her a year of fashion-world relevancy. [WWD]Guided by [...]
Valletta Designs, Mizrahi’s Small-Screen Sales, And More…
Amber Valletta is going designer. The model-slash-actress is creating a line for contemporary sportswear brand Monrow. There will be rompers. [WWD]
Isaac Mizrahi is making a “very signature Isaac” line for QVC. We certainly hope it wouldn’t be anyone else’s signature. [WWD]
The fight for the Beatrice continues, to the tune of $23,000 in fines, a [...]
Isaac Mizrahi Semi-Reluctantly Unzips
How does Isaac Mizrahi feel about reliving his past with a viewing of the ultimate cult-classic fashion doc, Unzipped? “I hate it. I hate it! I think everyone should go home,” the designer declared last night at the Met, where a screening of the film in question was about to begin. Unzipped was the third [...]
Isaac Mizrahi, Curator
Does Isaac Mizrahi sleep? It hardly seems likely. Not only is Mizrahi prepping Spring ‘10 collections for both his own label and Liz Claiborne, where he came on board as creative director last year, but he plays a starring part in Bravo’s new series The Fashion Show, he blogs, and he hosts his own weekly [...]
Forget The Four Seasons
Keith McNally’s newly opened Minetta Tavern in the West Village was the scene of a high-powered lunch today. Vogue’s Anna Wintour and André Leon Talley hosted the event in honor of White House social secretary and assistant to the President, Desirée Rogers, and the guest list read like a who’s who of the New York [...]
Isaac Mizrahi’s Goes Kaleidoplaid For Liz Claiborne
Midtown after dark isn’t the sexiest place to charm a fashionista, so if you’re asking us to come, it better be good. But we needn’t have feared: When there’s an Isaac Mizrahi attachment, you know it’s going to be well worth the trip. Last night’s cocktail party cum-presentation of Liz Claiborne Fall ‘09 (Mizrahi’s [...]
Condoleezza, Hillary, Lou
Breaking news: Lou Doillon has just accepted an ambassadorship. The country? Bargain-istan. It’s a French territory for those of you not up on your make-believe geography.
Former Target-eer Isaac Mizrahi unveils his first collection for Liz Claiborne. It looks pretty happy; he calls it more “grown-up.” Just don’t use that word around him.
Meanwhile, Mizrahi’s former [...]
Isaac Mizrahi: Designer, Talk Show Host, Children’s Narrator
Sporting an ensemble of head-to-ankle black (punctuated with red suede loafers), designer Isaac Mizrahi wowed a crowd of Upper East Side parents and their Ritalin-addled children on Sunday night.
