Isaac Mizrahi has been a leader in the fashion industry for almost 30 years. Since his first collection in 1987, his designs have come to stand for timeless cosmopolitan style.

Coveted by Hollywood's most stylish, his classic designs are seen on the red carpet worn by such celebrities as Sarah Jessica Parker, Julia Roberts, Rihanna, Mary-Kate and Ashley Olsen, and Meryl Streep.

In December 2009, Mizrahi launched his lifestyle collection, ISAACMIZRAHILIVE!, on QVC, the cable television shopping network.

In 2003, Mizrahi pioneered the concept of high design for the mass retailer with a successful partnership with the Target Corporation.
