We've waited nearly one year to see what Isaac would do post-Target, and now WWD has a first look at Isaac Mizrahi's new Claiborne collection for Spring 2009. I think it's brilliant (even if I wouldn't wear all of these pieces myself). The blue striped maxi dress and black and white square-print dress are my favorites. Looks like at least one of my predictions for 2009 is destined to come true. What do you think? (More pics after the jump.)
First Look: Isaac Mizrahi's New Liz Claiborne Line

Liz Claiborne clothes seem to always end up at our local Ross at the end of the season, so I hope Isaac's designs will end up there too! For some strange reason I'm always drawn to LC styles, even though I've rarely bought anything. Now that Isaac (my hero!) is the main guy there I can't wait to see what they do!
The one exception is the orange/yellow outfit. What is up with that? A little too whoopie goldberg for me.
I also love the black and white square print dress.
I hope the Liz stuff is his stuff, but much better made
Thanks for the preview BB
#1 Looks like: 1980s Skipper shirt paired with boring pants
#2 Looks like: Potato sack.
#3 Looks like: A dress almost no normal woman could wear. The horizontal stripes will be murder on anyone not stick thin, the length is terrible for short women. And with a length like that? I would not wear those clunky shoes- you can’t see your feet and you’re wearing two boats strapped to them?
#4 Looks like: Cool coat, cool dress, neither is cool enough to want though, and I hate the combination and I am not a fan of animal prints anyway.
#5 Looks like: It’ll be pretty popular among middle aged women in middle to upper class resorts or summer communities.
#6 Looks like: Okay, that one’s alright but how many people want the businesslike denim suit look?
#7 Looks like: Actually alright but nothing special either.
