This documentary captures renowned fashion designer Isaac Mizrahi as he prepares for 1994's New York fall fashion show. The film, narrated by Mizrahi himself, treats us to a behind-the-scenes look at the glamorous world of haute couture. We have the opportunity to follow Mizrahi's designing process from start to finish, and to see how he finds his inspiration in pop culture. We also find out what happens when Mizrahi learns that a rival designer has, by coincidence, copied his "Eskimo" fashion theme. The film climaxes in the kinetic, frenzied, and supermodel-filled fall fashion show. Whether meeting with his staff, or conducting a conversation with his loving mom, Mizrahi's charismatic personality shines through, making this one of the most delightful portraits of the fashion industry ever filmed.
