Mizrahi Hates Looking Back at His 90s Doc

The newly restored 1995 documentary "Unzipped," which chronicled a pivotal moment in Isaac Mizrahi's career, is now being released. Mizrahi, 64, expressed a disinclination to look back, citing vanity and the physical changes that come with aging. The film documents the planning and execution of his fall 1994 collection, featuring celebrity cameos.

"Unzipped" originally had a 73-minute runtime, with some footage of Faye Dunaway omitted due to rights issues. Mizrahi recounted an amusing anecdote about Dunaway's self-referential comments during a fitting. He also reflected on his past body image, wishing he could tell his younger self he wasn't as large as he perceived.

Mizrahi is currently on a GLP-1 medication for weight management and praised its benefits. His career has included designing for A-list celebrities, launching various collections, and pursuing show business. He currently serves as the creative director for Target and has a collection on QVC.

Addressing current fashion, Mizrahi dismisses the idea that runway spectacles influence widespread style, likening it to a misrepresentation found in "The Devil Wears Prada." He believes such events primarily boost brand recognition for perfumes and accessories. He also commented on the canceled John Galliano retrospective at the Met, questioning celebrity attendance.
