isaac Mizrahi is a fashion tour de force. An iconic designer and TV presenter throughout the years, today he is the creative director of Xcel Brands, which crafts his highly coveted clothing and accessories. Here, Mizrahi checks in with EB to share details on everything from his eponymous eyewear collection from Charmant to his most-loved specs muse.

Most Appealing Aspect About Eyewear…
A great pair of sunglasses makes a statement while maintaining mystery, personality, and sophistication. Just look on Instagram! Models are sporting the styles and shapes of the season.

Key Specs Trends for Fall…
I adore the revival of shapes and styles from the ’60s and ’70s. By taking a style that is timeless and beloved, and updating with modern accents or amazing colors, you’re appealing to women everywhere and of any age.

Most Outstanding Eyewear Muse…
Audrey Hepburn! She made such an impression on pop culture and the idea of classic style, especially when she wore cat-eyes, which look just as fresh today as they did in the ’60s.

Favorite thing to do when you’re not working?
I love to be home with my husband and dog, especially at my house in Bridgehampton. Also, cooking and baking. I make the most delicious mint chocolate chip ice cream!
