Isaac Mizrahi at Spring 2011 Fashion Week Audra Lowe: Isaac Mizrahi dressed women from Target all the way up to couture. His great sense of style can be seen on Bravo’s Fashion show. And now, Lauren goes one on one with the designer and his celeb fans. Lauren Ezersky: We’re breathing. We’re backstage at Isaac Mizrahi, one of my favorite designers in the universe. I’m chewing my gum because I do not want to have bad breath with him. Super early in the morning. The things that I do to entertain you but I’m here, we’re next up. We’ve got Bob hugging him, hugging the designer. Hurry up and wait, that is fashion. Robert Verdi: There’s no better place for Isaac to bring a fashion show than Lincoln Center. I think when he’s always done who’s created the sense of theater around fashion. And I think what people come for, is kind of his-- the excitement that he brings to fashion. I mean, Americans turnout for true designers. And so, it’s great to actually see him in American fashion shows, because he makes it fun and exciting, and he makes an trench coat be alike the most exciting trench thing happening. Teri Agins: You know he’s the writer of the program. He has all the ponds, James brown, Lauren green for colors. This is like fantasy eyelift for fabric. I mean, he’s always so clever. Johnny Weir: I love you Lauren Ezersky so much. Lauren Ezersky: What you’re doing here at Isaac? Johnny Weir: I love Isaac. Such amazing, such classic New Yorker and I have nothing but love and support for him. And he sent over those this morning, so I had to come. Lauren Ezersky: Well, that's pretty nice. Is he inspirational to you? Johnny Weir: Isaac is a constant survivor and fashion is a mean, mean world. And the fact that he’s been able to stay around and stay relevant for so long like any of the big designers is so inspiring to me and it’s inspiring to people that maybe aren’t even in the fashion world that just want to be for a long time in the business and love it, and I think loves every second of this. Lauren Ezersky: Hello. How are you? Isaac Mizrahi: Good. How are you? Lauren Ezersky: I’m seeing opulence, glitter, and glamour from you. Isaac Mizrahi: Well, I always do that. I’ve never done to that. This someone sort of doing that paired with this kind of tramples Xerox idea, which is like not exactly trample, it’s sort of like a Xerox version of it, you know. And I think this is something ironic and funny and it’ sort of like I’m stupid, you know, like baby on board, or whatever. It’s like a reference to all those t-shirts that you see and forget it like really expensive and crazy. You have to be insane to buy it because it’s so expensive. Lauren Ezersky: But you know what, I loved that. Isaac Mizrahi: I’m serious. I love that too. I love it. Lauren Ezersky: You’re working for KBC. You’re doing less expensive one. That’s the way women shop these days. You might buy a $20.00 t-shirt and $500.00 skirt. Isaac Mizrahi: Well, that’s what I’m saying. For me, that’s the way it works. But it’s always been that way. You know, I started doing target in my 2002. Lauren Ezersky: Before everybody. Isaac Mizrahi: I know exactly and I did Couture and I did Target, and I did a show called “High and Low” in my 2003 where you had $20.00 t-shirts with $20,000.00 ball gown skirts. Lauren Ezersky: Well, that is American. That's the way people dressed this day. Isaac Mizrahi: That’s the America that I lived in. Lauren Ezersky: Always to show men, we loved Isaac. Thanks for joining me. I’m Lauren Ezersky for Better in the front row. Audra Lowe: You’ve got to love that Johnny Weir. I wish I had that outfit. Fantastic. Thank you very much Lauren.
