Fashion Week: Isaac Mizrahi Lets Them Eat Cake

Guests at this afternoon’s Isaac Mizrahi show at Exit Art were treated to a confection of a fall collection, complete with the most mouthwatering and memorable accessories of fashion week: elaborate cakes, whipped up by Cake Boss Buddy Valastro and his team at Carlo’s Bakery, and color-coordinated poodles (fresh from Westminster, perhaps?). Emerging from this living Maira Kalman illustration—and with Kalman herself sketching from the front row—were 26 looks that distilled Mizrahi’s dazzling mixed-media collage of a spring collection into a luxe, bold, and energizing vision for fall.
