Late Night For Fall 2008 With Isaac Mizrahi

Cocktail dresses, opera coats and enveloping golden shirt dresses mean Fall for a certain kind of woman. That woman is Isaac Mizrahi's woman. Quintessentially urban in its expectations of the autumnal wardrobe, Isaac Mizrahi's Fall 2008 collection speaks to the needs of a city liver. As Isaac reminded us in our video interview at his Fall 2008 show, this collection "its a classic thing." And indeed his "everyday life, everyone's everyday life, the way I observe things" hint at a kind of classicism unique to New York.


"The millions of inspirations that go in the top" as Isaac quoted to us, come out evoking a world of sophisticated parties, soul searching late nights, and a twinge of hard knowledge that comes from staying out late in the city that never sleeps. And even while day looks from the collection have cheery moments of whimsy with fall motifs of leaves and pears, the reminiscing about crisp mornings to us has more to do with awaking to them after long cold nights. And while one can easily say that Isaac's girl is enjoying Wagner at night and Central Park in the morning, we think she is a bit more knowing about her pleasures. Our exclusive original photo editorial with Isaac's Fall 2008 looks suggest at evenings of nuance, inspiration, longing, and maybe even pain. Because everyday life doesn't just happen during the day.
