“This documentary is reality before it tanked to the lowest common denominator, and worth watching.u003cbr/u003eu003cbr/u003eFor someone who has only been marginally exposed to fashion, (As when I admittedly shop at Saks NY and buy off the rack), I did find this documentary intriguing and the creative ideas of Mizrahi interesting and unusual. His talent for unusual color combinations and prints is nicely manifested on the runway.u003cbr/u003eu003cbr/u003eNot too much pandering here to celebrity, though we do see some hangers-on in Mizrahiu0026#39;s daily life, his angst and ideas for a scrim (even imitated just this last week on a u0026quot;Tyra Banksu0026quot; show for Fashion Week) While I donu0026#39;t buy into all the hype and refuse to blindly follow fashion magazine trends, the models are lovely to watch, Cindy Crawford, Linda Evangelista, Naomi Campbell, Veronica Webb and a few others.u003cbr/u003eu003cbr/u003eCould now have a wider audience, u0026quot;Unzippedu0026quot; is far less shallow than more recent comparable documentaries on the fashion industry. 8/10.”
