Isaac Mizrahi sells cheesecakes

From the "We couldn't make this up" file...



Heather is getting his own show on QVC called "Isaac Mizrahi Live!" WSJ has the details:


"In December, Mr. Mizrahi will be selling those cheesecakes—along with his designs for everything from potpourri to furniture—on a new program on QVC airing eight hours a month to start, the company says. The show, called “Isaac Mizrahi Live!,” will be a significant departure from the standard sell of cable shopping channels. Part pitch, part reality television, it will follow Mr. Mizrahi around as he pitches items like a $200 handbag or $80 shoes while he engages in his other activities, riffs extemporaneously about his life and takes questions from callers.

QVC is erecting an expensive set within Mr. Mizrahi’s New York studio that can capture his day-to-day life in high-definition video, a first for the network. “Once in a while you make a calculated bet,” says Mike George, president and chief executive of the Liberty Media unit. QVC, which reported a 10% drop in first-quarter sales to $1.6 billion, says it aims to turn Mr. Mizrahi into one of its top five brands, like Philosophy or Bare Escentuals—brands the network says garner more than $100 million in annual sales apiece. Mr. Mizrahi will receive a percentage of sales as part of the arrangement.

Doug Howe, chief merchandising officer of QVC, says he was fascinated by the way Mr. Mizrahi spoke, leaping from tea patterns to sheets then rain boots. “We were just sitting there watching him talk, thinking, ‘My God! On air, you are going to resonate so strongly with our consumers!” Mr. Howe says."

It'd be easy to roll one's eyes and make jokes about it, but Heather ain't no fool. If it's successful, he'll stand to make a ton of money and if it isn't successful, who cares? It's not as if it's going to do any damage to his image. He's already established himself as a personality who'll do whatever strikes his fancy to make a buck.

Isaac Mizrahi Resort 2010 Collection

It's Heather's turn now, bitches!

"I've been using neons as neutrals for the last 25 years," Isaac Mizrahi said at his Resort presentation. True enough, but the designer seemed even more obsessed with vivid colors than usual this season. "It just feels right," he added. A nude twinset paired with a fluorescent lemon yellow skirt had editors calling dibs, as did a long, belted muumuu in a psychedelic candy print. It wasn't all electric brights, though. A black and white polka-dot belted pajama suit and a one-shoulder long dress in a microdot looked a shade more restrained, but no less fun."

Frankly, we think style.com was being a little polite with that description. There's pretty much absolutely nothing of interest here. The relevant word is "tired." A tired, uninspired, seen-it-all-before collection of looks. Heather? We're just not buying it.

TFS: Dueling Queens

It's PissyFest '09, bitches!

"Frankly Andrew, your dress bored me on a cellular level. You would eat better if you thought outside the box."

"And as a shoe person, I kindly disagree with you. I think Andrew eats just fine. Don't you, Andrew?"

*gigglehairflip*

"This isn't the salesman show, you know. It's The Fashion Show, Starring Isaac Mizrahi."

"I think you're being too hard on the boy! I can see many many women shopping at Bergdorf who would buy a dress like that. You remember Bergdorf's don't you, Princess Target?"

"Designers, you'll have to excuse us. Clearly, our little guest judge here is getting a bit of a swelled head regarding his role here on The Fashion Show, Starring Isaac Mizrahi."

"Oh, I'm sorry. How silly of me to assume that gravitas isn't on the menu for this little rag show you've got here. By all means, there's the camera, Target Boy. Play to it."

"Gravitas? Is that what they're calling it now? What was wrong with 'Creepy old queens with no socks hitting on men half their age?"

"Isaac dear, we're not here to talk about your personal life. The dress is fine! Andrew's a boy with a future!"

"Ah yes, his future. I'm picturing you in a caftan making an embarassingly drunken pass at him. Does that about sum it up? Listen, you glorified Payless cashier, you're on The Fashion Show, Starring Isaac Mizrahi. You keep that tired old thing in your poorly tailored pants and do what you were hired to do and deliver opinions that don't conflict mine while leaving me an opening to say something bitchy and clever. That's the gig, grandpa. You can audition houseboys on your own time."

"Blahblahblah. Whatever. You'll be just fine, son. Come see me after the show."

Since Michael Kors is the only other name designer she deigns to wear, the message is clear: Shelly is a fashion reality show addict just like you and me. Just don't wear Heidi's jewelry, Michelle. Trust us, it's tacky.

As for this look, it's okay. The color's nice and it plays to her whole "my entire outfit must be all one color" schtick, which we don't tend to agree with, but to each their own. We also don't tend to like bows on women over the age of 16, but again, that's just us. It's not the most flattering garment she's worn but to be honest, she's been knocking it out of the park, sartorially speaking, so much lately that even though this outfit leaves us a little flat, we'll give her a pass.
