Synopsis: This documentary captures renowned fashion designer Isaac Mizrahi as he prepares for 1994's New York fall fashion show. The film, narrated by Mizrahi himself, treats us to a behind-the-scenes look... This documentary captures renowned fashion designer Isaac Mizrahi as he prepares for 1994's New York fall fashion show. The film, narrated by Mizrahi himself, treats us to a behind-the-scenes look at the glamorous world of haute couture. We have the opportunity to follow Mizrahi's designing process from start to finish, and to see how he finds his inspiration in pop culture. We also find out what happens when Mizrahi learns that a rival designer has, by coincidence, copied his "Eskimo" fashion theme. The film climaxes in the kinetic, frenzied, and supermodel-filled fall fashion show. Whether meeting with his staff, or conducting a conversation with his loving mom, Mizrahi's charismatic personality shines through, making this one of the most delightful portraits of the fashion industry ever filmed.

  • Stunning supermodels and glamorous celebrities are all just part of the scene in UNZIPPED, a hilariously revealing look at the high-powered world of fashion! With exotic styles and featuring the world's sexiest models (Cindy Crawford, Linda Evangelista, Naomi Campbell, and more), it's the movie critics are calling one of the year's funniest!

    Mizrahi is such a flambouyant character that we are fascinated by him the whole time he is on camera. He seems to have a natural comic timing, as do the editors of the film.

    Though uncritical of NY designer Mizrahi, docu is everything that Altman's dreadful Ready to Wear should have been: An insider's view of the fashion world that's hip, light, authentic, revelatory, and always amusing.

    This movie has all the elements that Miramax's other fashion film, Robert Altman's disastrously received Ready to Wear, didn't, including intrigue, humor, irony, pathos and real live supermodels.
