Isaac Mizrahi on the ‘Unzipped’ Restoration, the John Galliano Met Gala Fiasco and Why the ‘Devil Wears Prada’ Cerulean Blue Speech ‘Makes Me Want to Kill Somebody’
Isaac Mizrahi discusses the restoration of “Unzipped”, the 1995 documentary about his fall 1994 fashion collection, while admitting he dislikes revisiting his past. He reflects on ageing, body image and his career, and criticises the idea that runway spectacles directly determine how people dress months later.
The restored 73-minute film features figures including Cindy Crawford, Linda Evangelista, Naomi Campbell, Kate Moss, André Leon Talley and Eartha Kitt. Mizrahi says roughly 10 minutes featuring Faye Dunaway were removed because the filmmakers could not secure rights to footage from “Mommy Dearest”; he also discusses his current work at Target and QVC, his use of a GLP-1 medication, and a planned television series about paparazzi photographer Ron Galella.
