Label Text:Isaac Mizrahi was best known for his spirited, colorful designs, but his resort fashions centered on simplicity and ease of wear. Speaking about his gossamer linen dresses, the designer noted that they could be rolled up and thrown into a suitcase, allowing the wearer to “arrive at St. Barts and look fabulous and fresh.”
