UNZIPPED 4K Restoration to Open in Theaters
Filmmaker Douglas Keeve returns to discuss the restored documentary alongside designer Isaac Mizrahi.
A newly restored 4K version of UNZIPPED is scheduled to open in theaters, according to an announcement from Cinetic Marketing. The film's star, designer ISAAC MIZRAHI, and director DOUGLAS KEEVE are being made available for select interviews ahead of the release.
The documentary, Douglas Keeve's UNZIPPED, is subtitled A PORTRAIT OF ISAAC MIZRAHI IN THE 1990s and features appearances by Naomi Campbell, Cindy Crawford, Eartha Kitt, Kate Moss, Liza Minnelli, Sandra Bernhard, Richard Gere, and more.
The film is scheduled to open in theaters on September 25.
Designer Isaac Mizrahi proved a force of nature on THE ROAD to his legendary fall 1994 collection, a career-defining triumph that was documented with an effervescent intimacy by Douglas Keeve, Mizrahi's then-partner. Both a time capsule of the buoyant, raucous 1990s, when pop culture and high art became interchangeable, and a vérité-style, in-the-trenches report on the daily agonies and ecstasies of the creative process, this seminal artistic portrait—sumptuously shot by Ellen Kuras and Robert Leacock—transcends glitz and glamour to offer an extraordinary view of the charisma and force of will inherent to genius, as well as its personal costs.
