WWDreports that designer Isaac Mizrahi is opening his first freestanding store in Manhattan - a 1,500-square-foot store for his brand on East 67th Street between Madison and Fifth Avenues
The unit will be the designer's first freestanding store in Manhattan, said Marisa Gardini, president and chief executive officer of Isaac Mizrahi, and will showcase his accessories, shoes and sportswear.
At one time, Mizrahi's name was associated only with high-end fashion. He won three Council of Fashion Designers of America awards and operated a fashion house bankrolled by Chanel until the French luxury firm decided to pull the plug in 1998. At the time of its closing, Mizrahi's collection business was estimated to do $8 million to $10 million at wholesale, plus another $15 million to $20 million for the bridge line, Isaac.
The article says they are still deciding what to feature in the store, which is currently under construction. An opening date has not yet been set.
