ISAAC MIZRAHI ON STAGE, STYLE AND THE LEGACY OF UNZIPPED: ‘FASHION HAS NO REAL SPINE ANY MORE’

New York designer Isaac Mizrahi is preparing for a new cabaret show, Hooray!, scheduled to run for four nights at 54 Below. While visiting his Greenwich Village studio, he discussed the legacy of his 1990s label Unzipped and highlighted a collection of pop‑culture inspired pieces, including dolls dressed in ballet tutus that he designed for a 2014 New Museum exhibition.

According to the Guardian’s Culture section, Mizrahi spent time in his studio surrounded by sketches, bulletin boards, fabrics and memorabilia. He noted that the dolls Snoopy and his sister Belle were part of the 2014 exhibition and expressed uncertainty about the current recognition of his work. In preparation for Hooray!, he is finalising the setlist and describes the show’s title as “cheery.” The Guardian’s piece also quotes him on his relationship with the Schultz estate and his ongoing dialogue with pop culture.

Mizrahi, known for defining 1990s fashion, has long blended high design with mainstream icons. His new cabaret act signals a return to live performance after decades focused on fashion and television, underscoring his enduring influence on style and pop culture.
