ISAAC MIZRAHI – FASHION DESIGNER AND ‘ENERGIZER BUNNY’

ISAAC MIZRAHI-2.JPGIsaac Mizrahi is a one part fashion designer ,one part uber- marketer, one part visionary!  We hope Canadian fashion designers are paying attention here because this guy is the Energizer Bunny of Fashion and he always comes out on top!

The designer has just reached a deal with the QVC live shopping channel in the U.S. to create a new lifestyle collection called  ” Isaac Mizrahi Live”. The show which will kick off in December will be featuring 8 hours of the designer live per month and will be part cooking show, part reality show, part sales pitch, part fashion. Most of all, it surely will be another hit!

Mizrahi has had quite the colorful career, first breaking into the fashion scene in 1987, at the tender age of 25. His clothes were a hit and soon he sold his stake in 1992 to Chanel. Nevertheless, as things go in the industry he ran into trouble with the label and dissapeared from the International fashion scene in 1998 to expend his energy and vision in other areas.

In one of the first Designer collaborations with Target ( shoking for the time) in 2002, he partnered with the the retailer to make affordable clothes and expanded to bedding, home products and other lines. This collaboration was a HUGE success and paved the way for many other designer collaborations.

Of course NOW Mizrahi is everywhere: hosting the reality show on Bravo called ”Fashion Show”, designing and rejuvenating the Liz Clairborne label, commenting in numerous style magazines,hosting a radio show and so on and on. The man does not stop and thus has earned our “Energizer Bunny of Fashion” label. We love his energy!

As we said above,we think the guy is onto something! We would love to see the Canadian version of QVC, our own Shopping Channel feature Canadian fashion designers in a fun and innovative way!

Oh and did we mention that Mizrahi has also returned to high fashion with re-launching his label at New York Fashion week two seasons ago AND is opening his new boutique on Madison in NYC in August? See what we mean…

    i think he has adult ADD, that’s why he can’t sit still, but hey whatever works for him.

    i loved the issac back in the 90’s and his movie unzipped was wonderful. i think he’s a perfect exaMPLE OF how a fashion designer should be, lively and passionate about his work.

    I guess all creative types are a bit odd, Adult ADD seems to sum it up, whatever it is, he really produces some great stuff!!

    His upbeat perspective is so refreshing. A cynicism-free Energizer Bunny :)
