separator

Born in Brooklyn, New York. While attending the High School of Performing Arts (acting major), in Manhattan, he went on to study at the Parsons School of Design at night. In 1987 Isaac opened his own clothing business and was honored with the Council of Fashion Designers of America's (CFDA) Designer of the Year award three times. He closed his ready-to-wear company in 1998, but he continues to design a shoe collection, a collection of coats and a line of fine jewelry. Isaac has also designed costumes for film, theatre, dance and opera.

In 1995 Isaac was the subject of the highly acclaimed documentary Unzipped, directed by Douglas Keeve, which won the 1995 Audience Award for Documentaries at the Sundance Film Festival.

In 1997 he wrote a series of comic books entitled The Adventures of Sandee the Supermodel, now in development as a major motion picture with DreamWorks (SKG). He is also developing a script from Jonathan Ames' novel The Extra Man in association with Killer Films.

He recently appeared off-Broadway in a one-man show entitled Les Mizrahi. Isaac's interests lie in the entertainment industry as well as in fashion, and he dreams of one day merging the two fields, functioning as the first entertainer/designer.
