Isaac Mizrahi moves to Claiborne

Liz Claiborne Inc. has enlisted Isaac Mizrahi to rescue its struggling flagship brand.

Isaac Mizrahi is leaving Target Corp. at the end of this year and will become creative director for all categories of the Liz Claiborne brand, beginning spring 2009. The Claiborne women’s collection has been struggling, and it is obviously hoped that Mizrahi can bring in the same fashion sense he brought to Target.
