Isaac Mizrahi Live! Short Sleeve Peplum Flounce Knit Top
®
Manhattan’s Soho neighborhood is of particular significance to the Mizrahi fashion story. For Isaac, it was where he bought a studio on Greene Street to first house his business in 1986; for his father Zeke, it was the location of the clothing factory he worked in during the late ‘30s. “I have to say that my father’s business didn’t appeal to me, but of course, the sewing machines and the craft of making clothes did,” says Mizrahi. “What I gleaned from all of that was that he literally put his life into the idea of the manufacturing of these suits.” Mizrahi has found his niche. His QVC items colorful trench coats, patterned blouses, and statement accessories are affordable, but still priced higher than your average Macy’s brand, and so they propose a certain level of luxury to shoppers. Plus, he gets to leverage his outsized personality on TV. “Isaac is truly a renaissance man,” says Steven Kolb, president and CEO of the Council of Fashion Designers of America. “He is a rare talent that has never been tied to one singular idea. The status quo is not him. A willingness to adapt in our industry is important and that is Isaac.”
Fancy-free and feminine, this short-sleeved tee takes on a sweet style with a peplum flounce detail below the waist seam. From Isaac Mizrahi Live!(TM).
