Janus Films Janus Films has acquired North American rights to Douglas Keeve’s “Unzipped,” a groundbreaking documentary that follows Isaac Mizrahi as he launches a new fashion collection in 1994. The company will re-release the film in theaters this year. A 4K restoration of “Unzipped” will open in New York on Sept. 25 before expanding nationwide.
Released to critical acclaim in 1995, “Unzipped” not only highlights the boisterous, charismatic Mizrahi as he set out to put his imprint on haute couture, it also features a who’s who of models like Naomi Campbell, Cindy Crawford, Kate Moss and Linda Evangelista, as well as celebrities like Eartha Kitt, Faye Dunaway and Richard Gere. The film presents a fly-on-the-wall portrait of Mizrahi’s creative process. Keeve and Mizrahi were dating at the time, but making the film contributed to the collapse of their relationship.
