Last year, Liz Claiborne had the divine Tim Gunn fronting their design team. That's not really an accurate way to say that ... it was more that he was the figure head tastemaker for the company. He allowed his name and image to be associated with the clothes but most of those clothes seemed so unworthy of the Tim Gunn Seal of Approval. But Tim Gunn is old, and I can say this as pretty much his contemporary. Even though my daughters love "Project Runway", they could care less if Tim Gunn says Liz Claiborne is okay.

Isaac Mizrahi is going to be a dab of wasabi in the big vat of mayo that is Liz Claiborne. It will be fun to watch him having fun.
