Tuesday, November 14, Isaac Mizrahi presented Spring Collection 2006 Part II, his latest woman's Couture Collection at 475 Tenth Avenue. Part I was presented in May of this year.

The collection, which came in 2 parts: couture and semi-couture, was shown by appointment only to an exclusive set of fashion editors and buyers, at his studio -- the same studio where his TV show 'Isaac' is filmed. Present during the morning were: Anna Wintour of Vogue, Glenda Bailey of Harper's Bazaar, Amy Astley of Teen Vogue, Stefano Tonchi of The New York Times Magazine, Hal Rubenstein and Freddie Leiba of InStyle, and an old friend, Ellen Saltzman.

He believes in revamping his best sellers, like the potato sack pants; taking them further, by adding details, using beautiful fabrics, to make it a couture garment (to make it that "One woman, one occasion dress") - special garments that will make the woman feel confident and different.

The jewels in the semi-couture collection (priced from $1200-5000) are the green cocktail dress and 'Isaac thinks pink' dress; from the 4 piece couture collection (priced from $10000-12000) is a lilac bell-sleeved dress, worn with a petticoat with chenille dots. The collection is sold at Bergdorf Goodman.

The atmosphere was fresh, fun and informal at the showing. "Who knows? I am sure I am going to do another fashion show", spills the passionate Isaac Mizrahi, in a video interview.

We look forward to it, because American fashion needs mavericks.

it all looks a little dated no?

 

[reese06]

I agree Mutterlein. But Isaac Mizrahi himself seems a little dated and behind. The last pic with the two girls reminds me of Armani.

I don't know for what particular reason, but I am liking the lilac gown with the trumpet sleeves silhouette-wise (I detest the colour) and the buckled baroque shoes. I don't really care for the rest.

Aside from the back view of the green dress, I'm not very interested in the rest of it...It doesn't look to flattering IMO.

I like those shoes and the looks in the last two photos. Interesting things.

the trumpet sleeve dress is gorgeouse and I love what I see. At least it isn't the boring crap new york fashion usually sends out.

I love the color.
Isaac has never been a cutting-edge guy. His thing is classic American sportswear-based, and there's room for that in the fashion pantheon.
