Perhaps Mizrahi ultimately failed at marketing his aesthetic because he was too focused on marketing himself. The designer, who appears in the upcoming Woody Allen film Celebrity, has wanted to pursue a film career ever since his charming turn in Unzipped.

There's a tomato-lentil soup, spiced with cloves, in the New Basics Cookbook (Workman) that tastes so good you'll swear it's bad for you.
