Isaac Mizrahi House
Mizrahi’s Greenwich Village home is a 20-year-long collaboration of three apartments. His 4,000-square-foot apartment in the storied Manhattan neighborhood’s living room. A sweeping terrace outside looks out over rooftops toward the city’s southern tip. The home, located in a historic 1931 building just off Sixth Avenue, appears to be perfectly proportioned and brand new, but it is actually a 20-year-long amalgamation of three apartments. He purchased the first installment more than two decades ago, just a few years before Unzipped, a 1995 documentary about his work, catapulted him to fame.

Isaac Mizrahi Fashion
Mizrahi debuted his first collection in 1987 at a trunk show hosted by Bergdorf Goodman in New York. He described his designs as “controlled and glamorous,” “elegant,” “distilled, refined,” and “inspired by decadence and New York City’s diversity.” Nicole Kidman, Selma Blair, Julia Roberts, Sarah Jessica Parker, Debra Messing, and Natalie Portman were among his clients. Mizrahi also created a diffusion line called “IS**C” as a form of “name effacement” to avoid dilution of his full name. Isaac Mizrahi only worked for Liz Claiborne for one year, in 2009.
Only a few minor department stores carried the clothes and accessories, making them extremely difficult to locate. Mizrahi’s clothes were sold at J.C. Penney in the fall of 2010 and were not designed by him.
