Iconic American fashion designer, Isaac Mizrahi, is known for his timeless cosmopolitan style. He launched his eponymous label in 1987 to critical acclaim including four Council of Fashion Designers of America (CFDA) awards. Since inception, he has achieved international acclaim for its colorful and stylish designs.

Under Xcel’s ownership, Isaac Mizrahi evolved into a multi-platform lifestyle powerhouse, expanding far beyond its designer roots to become a highly successful omnichannel brand.

By combining Isaac’s distinctive creative voice with Xcel’s operational expertise and retail relationships, the brand experienced sustained growth, deep customer loyalty, and broad product diversification. The partnership thrived for years until Isaac chose to retire from QVC, marking the close of a highly successful chapter defined by innovation, expansion, and lasting impact.
