Even though he is an extremely busy man, he made time to give me a few gems to share with you.<\/p>\n<p><span style=\"color: #d40072;\"><strong>5 Secrets to Isaac Mizrahi&#8217;s Success (in his own words)<\/strong><\/span><\/p>\n<p><strong>1. Don&#8217;t rely on results<\/strong><\/p>\n<p>My secret is\u00a0not relying on results. To not look at the end product so much but look at the idea and try to fulfill that.<\/p>\n<p><strong>2. Just do it<\/strong><\/p>\n<p>It takes so much energy to think about \u201cnot doing something\u201d that you might as well\u00a0just do it\u00a0and get the benefit of actually going through with it and doing it.<\/p>\n<p><strong>3. Deal with failure<\/strong><\/p>\n<p>If it [something]\u00a0fails,\u00a0I can\u2019t necessarily take the responsibility of failure but I can take the responsibility of learning a lesson.<\/p>\n<p><strong>4. Don&#8217;t be scared\u00a0<\/strong><\/p>\n<p>Artists are responsible for the end product but if you are too\u00a0scared\u00a0of what the consequences are, you\u2019ll never do anything. It takes less energy to work on something and accept your shortcomings if it fails.<\/p>\n<p><span style=\"color: #d40072;\"><strong>&#8220;I think that\u2018s an important lesson for artists to learn: failure is not necessarily a bad thing, it can be a really good thing.&#8221; &#8211; Isaac Mizrahi<\/strong><\/span><\/p>\n<p><strong>5. Do your own thing<\/strong><\/p>\n<p>I never followed in footsteps, I don&#8217;t really believe in that&#8230; Be inspired and then move on. If I can inspire people I&#8217;m really happy. But I would never want to feel like I was being emulated because everyone&#8217;s journey is different, everyone has a different chain of events from the beginning to the end.<\/p>\n<p><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"alignleft size-full wp-image-11778\" src=\"http:\/\/www.fashionwithaconscience.org\/consciousandchic\/wp-content\/uploads\/2015\/06\/ginette.png\" alt=\"ginette\" width=\"375\" height=\"132\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.fashionwithaconscience.org\/consciousandchic\/wp-content\/uploads\/2015\/06\/ginette.png 375w, https:\/\/www.fashionwithaconscience.org\/consciousandchic\/wp-content\/uploads\/2015\/06\/ginette-300x106.png 300w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 375px) 100vw, 375px\" \/><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Isaac Mizrahi\u00a0is the king of collaborations.
