Having said this, he is richer than I will ever be and he has loads of more prospects than I will ever have. And his singing? and his dancing? and his annoying hair? If I had that hair I would have had it cut a long time ago.

The film, like I said, makes me feel sane, like all my 'problems' can be dealt with and that I don't ever have to resort to being such a hysterical end=of-the-world drama queen like Mizrahi. Could you imagine Kyle having to listen to that at home? She needs to remain silent so I can see her as just utterly flawless. I wanted to reach through the screen and punch Linda Evangelista for having such an annoying voice. THe models, whom I LOVE LOVE LOVE to watch, are all tragic and annoying, save for Tara Banks and Cindy Crawford who seem to be the only models with a brain in their heads. Anyhoo, Isaac is a sad selfish mess and at the same time a very smart man with amazing taste. A coat that makes you feel good for a few months, by the way thanks Donatella for that black half-trench number you came out with last year, I still feel good about myself every time I think I'm thin enough to put it on. Designers make these costumes, famous and sickly models make them look interesting and then Anna Wintour makes you want to spend your next 5 paychecks for a stupid coat. I use to think that the fashion industry was something special, once you have used this film to figure things out, you notice how SAD SAD SAD these people are. Because watching Mizrahi stress out about his 'beast/nanook of the North' creations makes me feel better about myself as a sane person. I asked myself why, and I came up with a really great lie. and it was so fun to see mark morris and Sandra Bernhardt too! all in all a fabulous film for anyone in or interested in the creative and design fields.

and his mother is a hoot! plus i really loved seeing a few of the really great style arbiters - Polly Mellen, Candy Pratts, Ingrid Sischy - on film. PLUS another benefit of the movie: you get to see/hear Isaac play the piano. i gave it a 9 out of 10 only because i wish it had been longer. i study architecture, and the parallels are absolutely there for anyone in any creative or design field.

but the thing about this movie that is really so great and wonderful is not the 'insider's look into the fashion world' or the 'glimpses of stunning supermodels' or whatever - but rather the fact that this movie documents something rarely shown: how the creative process works, from the initial idea or spark, where it comes from and how it's developed (for Isaac - from movies and music - anything in the culture - and then he starts drawing and chatting about his ideas with family, friends and colleagues to develop it), all the way to making that idea into something tangible and concrete (and really, what i appreciate about what the movie shows, is how such a seemingly abstract or novel 'idea' can be developed into an entire fashion collection). he's so funny and witty and entertaining - he could be that proverbial entertaining phone-book- reader. OK - so i decided to rent this because i get such a kick out of watching Isaac on his show.
