Issac Mizrahi Is Getting Unzipped at The Met

Pre-screening discussion with Harold Koda and Isaac Mizrahi

Directed by Douglas Keeve, 1995, 73 min

Using a variety of cinematographic techniques, the world of high- profile fashion designer Isaac Mizrahi is portrayed as being driven by excitement and creativity, despite the concomitant chaos and cacophony. Mizrahi's frenzied genius and rollercoaster emotions paint a humorous and personal portrait of a brilliant designer. Famous "SuperModels", actors, and actresses populate Issac's rarified world, but Douglas Keeve's cameras capture the stress and turbulence beneath the placid coolness of glamour.

In conjunction with the exhibition, The Model as Muse: Embodying Fashion.

The exhibition is made possible by Marc Jacobs.

More On the "September Issue"

(NEW YORK) Fashion insiders have been tittering over The September Issue, and not only for all the usual reasons. Turns out that several Hearst insiders have boasted that the documentary, which casts a cold stare on Condé Nast flagship title Vogue, was co-produced by Actual Reality Pictures as well as A&E IndieFilms, which is owned by the Hearst Corporation. The documentary production arm of A&E Networks, A&E IndieFilms has released such films as American Teen, Murderball, and Jesus Camp. A&E Networks, in turn, fits alongside ESPN, Lifetime, King Features cartoon distributors and more under the vast umbrella of Hearst Entertainment and Syndication, an operating group of the Hearst Corporation. Given the scope of the corporation's interest, it's unlikely that Cathie Black gave the project any sort of greenlight. But still--do we sense some synergy?Retweet this button on every post blogger

Things Are Cut Throat at Conde Nast

(NEW YORK) The March 31 receptionist purge in the once-hallowed halls of Condé Nast left the publishing house with an obvious problem: What happens when the remaining few left on editorial floors break for lunch? Junior staffers to the rescue. The Daily has learned that editorial assistants at flagship titles like Vogue and GQ are rotating in thrice daily, relieving the receptionists while they enjoy three allotted breaks.

And the cuts just keep on coming. Condé Nast has long offered employees the benefit of free emergency daycare at 4 Times Square, but the company recently implemented a new policy--staffers must now pay $35 for all-day care of one child, and $50 for two or more children. The benefit remains heavily subsidized.
