How to Buy Isaac Mizrahi Fashions

He has cashmere cardigans, taffeta dresses, soft ballet leather flats and chic bags-don't even get me started on the bags. Isaac Mizrahi is an award-winning New York fashion designer who brings style to the people, whether their budgets fall on the Target end of the spectrum or lean more toward designer couture.

Instructions

Difficulty: Easy

Things You’ll Need:

• Spending money
• An eye for fashion that is clearly Isaac
• A new pair of shoes

1. Isaac Mizrahi Couture—highly fashionable custom-made clothing for men and women—is featured at New York retailer Bergdorf Goodman and other fine clothing stores. In the fall of 2006, Mizrahi launched a men's sportswear collection for Bergdorf Goodman (his gray houndstooth blazer and white slim pants are ubersexy). Can't find a Bergdorf Goodman near you? Shop Bergdorf Goodman online for to-your-door service.
2. For shoppers like me who don't have thousands to spend on high fashion, Isaac saves the day with his women's collection at Target. Find that perfect black party dress for less than $50. Or, for under $40, rock his microsuede high-shaft boot matched with a herringbone-print knit skirt and cashmere (yes, cashmere at Target!) sweater in the fall and winter. Mizrahi also designs a bridal collection found online that my friends and I have been checking out as we decide on a winning bridesmaid dress.
3. Also at Target, Isaac Mizrahi offers his affordable contemporary home collection that includes stylish furniture, lighting, pet accessories, luggage, dishware and linens. His pet carriers and doggie bridal wear are no doubt designed with posh pooches in mind.
4. But it's the Isaac Mizrahi signature shoes, all those pretty little shoes, that cause the most excitement in my life. I was lucky enough to find my pair of Isaacs at a Saks Fifth Avenue outlet in Denver. They are my pride and joy. Of course I don't have children, so that explains a lot. His shoes can be purchased on the Internet, too, at fabulous shoe sites such as Zappos and Endless Shoes & Handbags. Or find sweet deals on eBay.
