Sketch-a-dress

Fall fashion week starts on Friday in New York. That’s right – Fall 2007 – and I’m still on the hunt for spring fashion. Most of my wish list isn’t anywhere near the stores yet. It’s the curse of January. I’ll just have to temporarily think ahead to fall, and then return to the hunt.

Isaac Mizrahi, with couture at Bergdorf Goodman, and fast-fashion at Target, will be launching his own online store in February, and will also preview his fall couture line online. I’ve been trying to find photos of his couture line since it launched, with little success. Now, both the Fall 2006 and Spring 2007 slideshows are available here. Picture above is the darling 4Star from his spring collection. Mizrahi is also starting a new feature for his magazine, Isaac’s Style Book. (Issue #2 comes out in April, but Issue #1 is available for download here.) Have you seen Isaac’s show on the Style network? My favorite segment is “Sketches and Answers”, where he answers fashion questions from the audience, and sometimes draws a sketch. The new feature for the Style Book is “Sketch-a-Dress”: you describe your dream outfit, that you cannot find, and Isaac will sketch his favorite for Issue #2! Here’s the rub: I need “Sketch-an-Event”, because I would love to own the beautiful dress he made for Selma Blair on his old show for Oxygen. You can see the dress, and rent the episode, “Designing Selma Blair”, for $1.99. Of course, I have it on tape! Sketch me a movie premiere, Isaac, or something similarly appropriate, and I’ll buy that dress! See more of Isaac’s website here, and stay tuned for online shopping!
