Fab Flash: Isaac Mizrahi Leaves Target For Liz Claiborne

January 16, 2008

Ever since Tim Gunn joined Liz Claiborne, he's been facilitating a lot of shakeups. The latest? Poaching Isaac Mizrahi from Target to head up Liz Claiborne's women's line starting in Spring 2009. Claiborne is looking to Mizrahi to reinvigorate the languishing line with his color sensibilities and mainstream appeal.

The Isaac Mizrahi For Target collection, which has enjoyed a strong five-year run, will continue to be available at Target through the end of 2008. Buy it while it lasts!

It will be interesting to see good design meets good quality. I think the result is that my wallet may lose some weight...

I'm not upset about this...I don't think I own any of his Target line pieces.

I like’s Issac’s Target line. He always had a few cute & work-wear ready items in each of his collections. I particularly liked to hit up these items once they had gone on the 30 or 50% off racks though. I will miss him…

wow, i'm amazed to see that some of you liked his target goods - I always found them to be just OK combined with low Target quality, colorific styles weren't flattering either and I love colorNot too sure what this means for IM but the Liz line is less contemporary than anything he's known for, when I think of L. Claiborne I think of baby boomer style

I really love so much of IM line for Target. So many of his things are classic, feminine, and fun with even a vintage touch from time to time. I'm so disappointed to find out he won't be continuing his line with them. :(

I have a clutch (in two different colors) from his line at Target. It's a few years old, but I get compliments whenever I use it. People are always shocked when I tell them where I bought it. The clutch is very well-designed and stylish.

I like the sunglasses he has at Target. They look fab and they are only $20. I better go snatch up a couple more pairs!

ilanac13 5 years 18 weeks

you know - i think that for liz - it's a good thing but for all of us who've seen his stuff at target - it's a shame. i have a travel bag that he designed and i love it - and to know that i'll never get those goods again...soooooo sad

What I really loved was the line Proenza Schouler did for Target, I wish they's make it a regular feature!!

Seriously, girls?!! Omigosh, I totally love the Issac Mizrahi line at Target!!! I'm wearing a pair of heels right now at work :) I'll be so sad when his line ends... :( He always brought a fun, trendier wardrobe to Target's line. I do some of their lines of clothing (Mossimo, etc) but at least we'll continue to have the Go!International lines that come in.Right, Fab? Those aren't leaving anytime soon, are they? :(
