How could we forget the eclectic styles which Isaac Mizrahi created in the 80's and 90's. I recall finding an luminous turquoise blazer of his at Off 5Th in Costa Mesa, CA and thinking that was the deal of the lifetime. I still have it. The fabulous logo with the bright pink star...I loved him to bits. Back then, being a regular fixture on MTV's House of Style and making the frequent cameo in fashionable movies, he was the Marc Jacob's of the industry. What happened to him? Besides staying below the radar and selling his grandiose name to Target he was still remembered as a fashion icon designer. I am elated to see that this year is going to be a Mizrahi year. Not only is he co-host of the new Bravo show, "The Fashion Show" starting May 7th, but he was appointed Creative Director of Liz Claiborne back in January. God knows Liz needed that. Hopefully he can bring that hum-drum line back to life. So far,it looks promising.
