Isaac Mizrahi adores daisies. Orchids? "I would never trash them, but I wouldn't encourage them," he said at Ivy Room at Tree Studios on Friday evening. The designer divulged those floral preferences—along with his astrological sign and details about his target customer—during a 15-minute Q&A that took place at CS magazine and Carson Pirie Scott's private launch party for Mizrahi's Liz Claiborne New York collection (which is available at Carson's).

CS magazine's senior events and projects manager, Samantha Saifer, worked with Heidi Frank, publicity manager for the Bon-Ton Stores Inc., to plan the appearance. The duo arranged for the evening to kick off with an hourlong media reception. While Mizrahi held court in front of a step-and-repeat dotted with Carson Pirie Scott and Liz Claiborne logos, local style writers interviewed him and snapped photos. MORE >>

In the News: Hollywood Wants Junkets Back, Economy Doesn't Slow Product Launches

Hollywood Wants Junkets Back: Surprising fact: An estimated 90 percent of film junkets take place at the Four Seasons Hotel Los Angeles at Beverly Hills, with most of the remaining 10 percent falling elsewhere in Beverly Hills. The developers of the new W Hotel in Hollywood are hoping to bring some of that business back to film's birthplace, when they open at the iconic crossroads of Hollywood Boulevard and Vine Street. The Los Angeles Community Redevelopment Agency, which is in charge of overseeing Hollywood's redevelopment, is looking at more than a dozen proposals for venues that could also woo junket planners.

Fashion Cuts Back on Charity Events: Flagging profits for fashion houses mean charity endeavors and sponsorships are falling under question. Liz Claiborne Inc. and Tommy Hilfiger, in particular, have reportedly reduced their budgets for charity events. This means participation in larger-scale events, like New York's Costume Institute Gala, which may have to reduce table prices this year to fill seats. A spokesperson for the Metropolitan Museum of Art doesn't anticipate matching last year's record-breaking $7.3 million haul. [WWD] MORE >>
