Isaac Mizrahi is back at the center of the bull’s eye.
Confirming a May 18 report in WWD that the designer was expected to return to Target Corp., the retailer named him creative director at large on Monday.
In the newly created role, Mizrahi will serve as a creative adviser to the company’s internal design team while also mentoring talent.
“Great design is deeply human — it ignites confidence and joy, and it’s what guests tell us they love about shopping at Target,” said Cara Sylvester, executive vice president and chief merchandising officer, Target. “Isaac has always believed, as we do, that great design should be accessible to everyone. What excites me most is the opportunity to pair his creativity and perspective with the incredible talent we already have inside Target as we shape the next chapter of style and design for our guests.”
Mizrahi helped give Target a good deal of its fashion pizazz during its glory days, connecting with the retailer for a five-year run that started in 2002.
