Fashion and music have always been bed buddies so it should come as no surprise that fashion's top designers are having a love affair with the radio. Isaac Mizrahi, who seems determined to conquer every medium, launched a radio show recently. His show is called Isaac Mizrahi: Tell Me Everything and it airs on Martha Stewart Living Radio. On his show he takes calls on fashion and style advice. Kinda like the Sketches and Answers bit he did on his Style Network show years ago. This time though, he won't always answer the questions solo. He'll also have stylist, designers and models chime in. The kids on the radio block are Dean and Dan Caten, the brothers duo behind Dsquared2. Their show will be broadcast on Sirius radio starting May 5th. This one is a little different. They'll play all of their favorite music, including stuff from their runway soundtracks. That's a nice twist. They'll also have interviews with celebs and discuss fashion and life in general.

Isaac Literally

Isaac Mizrahi has been called the king of real-world chic. Taking that title and running with it, he's written a book. The title, How to Have Style, is fitting. As a twenty-year veteran of the fashion industry, he shares his style rules on everything from boots to bags and skirt length to the right undergarments. Mizrahi puts his approach to looking great on full display. There's a fashionista in every woman and Isaac seems intent on helping you find it. Rule #1 for Isaac - all women should wear what inspires them. I can get behind that 100%.

Hats off...

Good ole Isaac Mizrahi had some interesting pieces on display for New York's fashion week. The most interesting had to be these hats! Yes, those things are supposed to be on the models heads. Is it crazy creative or just crazy? You be the judge. That being said, I have had a thing for Isaac Mizrahi since his show on Oxygen, since his days of frequenting the Oprah show, since well, forever. How could you not love Isaac? Anybody that can bring fashionable and affordable together and single-handedly make Target – Tar-zhay is worthy of such adulation, right? Anywho, Mr. Mizrahi is teaming up with the peeps at Liz Claiborne to collaborate on a new line. Could this be a match made in fashion heaven? Liz Claiborne founded her line for the everyday woman and Isaac has been making more affordable fashions for a while now. It's about time they teamed up, huh? Considering the economic, uh, issues… the timing is perfect! Check out his more, ahem, tame designs here and here.

Decadent Diet

At New York’s fashion week Isaac Mizrahi debuted the Fall 2009 collection he designed for Liz Claiborne. The showing was held at his Manhattan studio. He’s been named the creative director of the company. Check out their site for his twist on things over at Liz Claiborne. I, for one, like what I see. During fashion week, he did double duty, displaying the Liz Claiborne collection but also displaying his newest collection. Isaac got his line’s inspiration from Africa and the show was held at the New York Public Library’s Astor Hall. I saw a wedding done there, that place is majestic! Anywho, how does one get through the week with two very different collection hitting the runway? Apparently, there was a lot of chocolate involved! It seems the uber- designer had been snacking on Champagne Truffles and chocolate almond bark. Anybody else craving chocolate now?

The Fashion Show must go on...

Due to a very public departure, we all know that Project Runway will no longer be on Bravo. The show was set to hit air on Lifetime but drama wit the production companies seem to be putting things on ice. Enter Isaac Mizrahi. The designer has been announced as one of the two hosts of Bravo’s Project Runway replacement, dubbed Fashion Show. Isaac is no stranger to TV. He’s had a show on Oxygen and the Style Network. Joining him will be Destiny’s Child alum, Kelly Rowland. The basis of the show seems oddly familiar. A group of struggling designers will undergo challenges, get voted on and someone gets sent home. Hmmm… Moving on, the big difference in this show is apparently the studio audience.
