1988 - He gave his first major show, an event attended by only a few members of the press who had taken a chance that something interesting might come from this relatively unknown designer.

for: Liza Minnelli Live from Radio City Music Hall (TV).

1995 - Early in his career as a designer, he was the subject of a widely praised film documentary titled Unzipped.

2004 - Mizrahi returned to his fashion-design origins with the launch of two new ventures appealing to very different members of the buying public: an affordable yet fashionable line of clothing for discount retailer Target, and Isaac Mizrahi to Order, a company creating high-end custom-made clothing for consumers willing to spend $20,000 on a single dress.
