Unzipped
Pre-screening discussion with Harold Koda and Isaac Mizrahi

Directed by Douglas Keeve, 1995, 73 min

Using a variety of cinematographic techniques, the world of high- profile fashion designer Isaac Mizrahi is portrayed as being driven by excitement and creativity, despite the concomitant chaos and cacophony. Mizrahi's frenzied genius and rollercoaster emotions paint a humorous and personal portrait of a brilliant designer. Famous "SuperModels", actors, and actresses populate Issac's rarified world, but Douglas Keeve's cameras capture the stress and turbulence beneath the placid coolness of glamour.

In conjunction with the exhibition, The Model as Muse: Embodying Fashion.

The exhibition is made possible by Marc Jacobs.

Additional support is provided by Condé Nast.
