From 1989 to 1993, New York fashion designer Isaac Mizrahi granted
the British photographer Nick Waplington rare backstage access to
photograph every detail of the designer's fitting sessions in the
weeks before his twice-yearly fashion shows. Combining Waplington's
gritty verite style with Mizrahi's haute couture sensibilities, the
resulting images offer a candid glimpse into the world of fashion
when supermodels including Cindy Crawford, Christy Turlington and
Naomi Campbell reigned supreme. At the same time, Waplington set
out to document the wildly creative nightlife of the '90s club kid
culture in New York, juxtaposing his images of uptown style with
downtown looks and taking pictures at some of the city's most
infamous clubs, such as the Pyramid Club and Save the Robots.
Artist and photographer Nick Waplington (born 1970) has published
several monographs, including Living Room and The Wedding
(Aperture), Safety in Numbers (Booth Clibborn), Truth or
Consequences (Phaidon) and Alexander McQueen: Working Process
(Damiani). He lives in London and New York. Isaac Mizrahi (born
1961) has been a leader in the fashion industry for almost 30
years. In 1995 he was the subject of the award-winning documentary,
Unzipped. In 2003 Mizrahi pioneered the concept of merging high
design with mass retail in partnership with Target. He has designed
costumes for the New York Metropolitan Opera, the American Ballet
Theater and the San Francisco Ballet. Mizrahi is the author of How
to Have Style and has been head judge on Lifetime's Project Runway:
All Stars.
