“Isaac Mizrahi as he conceived and contorted the way through to his fall 1994 show, [dashing] around a deserted SoHo with pal Sandra Bernhard; [meeting] with Naomi Campbell, Linda Evangelista, and baby Kate Moss for fittings; and [racing] uptown to an audience with Eartha Kitt... Hair-raising deadlines, delirious Bette Davis impressions, and the hostile but exhilarating act of executing a designer’s vision come together in a work that set the bar for all fashion films after.” – Vogue

Reviews

“Not only does the film establish the credentials of the art of fashion, it’s also a whole lot funnier than Altman’s PRÊT-À-PORTER.”
– Tom Charity, Time Out

“This documentary is almost like flipping through the pages of a fashion magazine and, like Isaac himself, is witty, showy and thoroughly engaging.” 
– Empire

“Your favorite fashion person's favorite fashion documentary is returning to theaters more than 30 years after its premiere. Iconic… helped make Isaac Mizrahi a household name. With glamour, drama, and cameos from the likes of Cindy Crawford, Naomi Campbell, and Linda Evangelista, the movie—directed by Mizrahi’s then-partner Douglas Keeve—remains the perfect time capsule of ‘90s fashion at its most fabulous.”
– W Magazine

“There’s something about fashion designer Isaac Mizrahi that is undeniably magnetic. Not just his creativity, but his innate talent to entertain and enchant.” – AnOther Magazine “Next month, a 4K restoration of Mizrahi’s 1995 film UNZIPPED will open in the US, injecting the glamour of the peak supermodel years into our corporate Shein landscape. A terrific document of process, fashion and personality… a perfect capsule of 90s chic – both the final gasp of unreachable 20th century celebrity and the first breath of all-access relatability.”
– Juan A Ramírez, The Guardian
