Designer Isaac Mizrahi Does Not See Amal Clooney As A Fashion Icon, Says She's 'Good Looking' But 'Really Tactful'

Amidst New York’s fashion elites fawning over Amal Clooney’s outfits making a mark in the fashion scene, one particular tastemaker does not seem to find her dressmaking schemes captivating. American fashion designer Isaac Mizrahi admitted that although Amal always looked good, he does not see her as a ground-breaking fashion icon.
In an interview with Threads Magazine, the “Project Runway: All Stars” judge was asked if George Clooney’s wife could be considered as NYC’s latest fashion icon, given that the 37-year-old has been spotted strutting in high-fashion clothes that many found chic and stylish. “No, I don’t think so. Absolutely not,” he answered, as quoted by New York Post. “Good-looking, but that’s where it ends.”
Mizrahi, creative director of Xcel Brands, admitted that the Lebanese-British lawyer did look great all the time, although she also looked “really tactful.” He kindly added that while he does not see her as fashion icon, he finds her “extremely beautiful,” which for him was probably better than being placed on a pedestal for what she wears.
Artist Mark Boomershine also had something to say about Clooney’s wife as he dished details to Threads about his upcoming exhibit “Revealed: Faces of Our Time” at the Surrey hotel. The exhibit will be featuring 10 iconic portraits of A-list celebrities, including Taylor Swift and Christy Turlington. Boomersine shared that Amal was one of the stars he rejected, saying, “She’s absolutely beautiful and everything, but there wasn’t as much there for me as some of the other people.”
Meanwhile, Mirror reported that 53-year-old George and Amal are officially eligible for the “Sunday Times Rich List” after they tied the knot last year. With a joint wealth of £121 million including a £10 million mansion in Sonning, Berks, the couple has joined the ranks of Britain’s richest, placing themselves at number 790 out of the 1,000 wealthiest people in Britain and Ireland. Other celebrity couples who made the list include David and Victoria Beckham, and Michael Douglas and Catherine Zeta-Jones.
