Isaac Mizrahi fashion designer
Say it isn’t so Isaac.
That’s the cry heard round the country when news that fashion designer Isaac Mizrahi, who endeared himself to millions of women with his cheap-chic collection at Target, is headed to Liz Claiborne to revamp the struggling brand.
Mizrahi teamed with Target five years ago and led the parade as the retailer added more names to its stable of designers and became the place to shop for luxury pieces at mainstream prices.
His success triggered a change in the fashion industry’s thinking that designer collections at the mass market level would dilute the value of a brand. Following Mizrahi’s lead, Nicole Miller partnered with J.C. Penney in 2005 and last year Vera Wang debuted her Simply Vera Wang collection at Kohl’s.
