Since he stormed the fashion scene in the late 1980s, Isaac Mizrahi has become household name in the adult fashion market. The New York-based designer and TV personality has made his mark as a brand that spans a range of categories including sportswear, denim, handbags, watches and fine jewelry.
But now, Mizrahi is delving into the children’s category with a series of new licenses, including footwear. Synclaire Brands has been tapped to produce a casual collection under the Isaac Mizrahi New York label. The shoes will debut this fall, following the spring launch of girls’ sportswear and dresses. A tailored boys’ clothing line will roll out for holiday.
The new line, priced from $30 to $90, uses striking colors and patterns, and surprising details. The girls’ line features pumps, boots, ballet flats, loafers and wedges, outfitted with bows and piping, as well as polka-dot, leopard and houndstooth prints.
The collection already has been picked up by Bloomingdale’s, Zappos.com and a range of higher-end boutiques. Details still to come when they will be in store!

Earlier this year we posted about Stuart Weitzman designing for Broadway’s Cinderella. Well now, Nicholas Kirkwood has joined the fantasy world and has with Disney to create a four-piece collection of heels fit for any real-life heroine. The capsule collection is inspired by Disney’s latest offering, Oz The Great and Powerful, with each pair drawing inspiration from a lead character: the Wizard, Glinda, Evanora, and Theodora.
These unique shoes range from crystal-encrusted heels to black-and-ruby-sequined boots, and — a first for Kirkwood — a men’s brogue. The shoes are currently on display as part of Selfridge’s Shoe Carnival. And the costumes worn by James Franco, Michelle Williams, and the rest of the cast feature in the department store’s window display as well!
