Designer Isaac Mizrahi Expanding Into Babywear

Following recent expansion into eyewear and menswear, just-married designer Isaac Mizrahi has revealed the launch of an infants' clothing line.

Thanks to a deal with babywear firm bon bébé, WWD reported January 11 that Mizrahi will unveil a 25-piece infants' collection in department stores and specialty shops for Fall 2012, with a girls' and boys' range to be added in the future.

For Mizrahi, children's fashion runs in the family -- his father ran a boys' clothing line from the 1950s-70s.

Apparently the new collection includes designs offering "a funny take on sophisticated adult clothing," echoing Oscar de la Renta's forthcoming youngsters' line, which has been designed to appeal for those who "want their children to look like children."
