Dec. 2, 2005 — -- Designer Isaac Mizrahi's new show, "Isaac," is set to premiere on the Style Network on Dec. 5. Considering his high profile, his first name is all he needs. Mizrahi has been everywhere.

Mizrahi's affordable fashion line at Target tries to bring his high-end sensibility to the mass market. But those into luxury goods can get his couture pieces at Bergdorf Goodman. He's made cameos in the movie "Men in Black" and the television show "Spin City." He also starred in a one-man, off-Broadway show "LES MIZrahi," and had a weekly half-hour show on the Oxygen channel.

Three women came to "GMA" seeking Mizrahi's advice, which he doles out to audience members on his show during a segment called "Sketches and Answers." He solves fashion dilemmas on the spot and jots down a quick sketch to show the person exactly what he is talking about.

Simone Hilliard: I see that skinny jeans are all the rage so I bought myself a pair. It seems like the obvious choice for footwear would be boots over the jeans but I want to wear them with a shoe. What kind of shoe would you suggest?

Isaac Mizrahi: I have to say that I do love them tucked into the boot. It looks great. But the other day I had the model Elle McPherson on wearing the skinniest jeans and they weren't low-rise. She was wearing them with flats and it looked wonderful. Granted she is really tall, but still, I don't find you to be [height] challenged. If you wear tight jeans with heels, wear them with high-heel sandals.
