“I.M: A Memoir” by Isaac Mizrahi

I have had a subscription to Vogue Magazine since I was in high school. This is not because I am a fashionista. In fact, I prefer uniforms to real fashion. My work uniform consists of black tights with things on top of them. My exercise wardrobe is built around Danskin yoga pants of which I own about 25 of them, mostly black. And my concert wardrobe centers around the basic black shift dress because at Phish shows the men only care about the band and not the girls. This is all to say I don’t practice haute couture but I definitely want to know what is in and what is out and what Vogue Magazine has to say about it. So that means I have known who Isaac Mizrahi is for along time, and I think he is fabulous. I wish he was my friend and we could go to a wine bar together. If you saw the documentary “Unzipped” you know he is a fabulous person to know. His new autobiography “I.M.: A Memoir” takes that documentary to a much deeper level. We get to see him growing up gay in an Syrian Orthodox Jewish household and making costumes for puppet theatre in his family basement. We see him launching a high-end fashion line and then losing it. And we watch him perform in his own cabaret show. We get to know him like we have never seen him before. Intimate, dark, sad, lonely, talented, triumphant and finally in love.  Walk the runway to your closest book store and check out his memoir today. To purchase this book on Amazon click here.
