Growing up gay in a sheltered Syrian Jewish Orthodox family, Isaac Mizrahi had unique talents that drew him into fashion and later into celebrity circles that included Richard Avedon, Audrey Hepburn, Anna Wintour, Mikhail Baryshnikov, Meryl Streep, and Oprah Winfrey, to name a few. In I.M., Isaac offers a poignant, candid, and touching look back at his life. He delves into his lifelong battles with weight, insomnia, and depression, and tells what it was like to be an out gay man witnessing the ravaging effects of AIDS. Brimming with intimate details and inimitable wit, Isaac's elegant memoir reveals not just the glamour of his years, but the grit beneath the glitz.
