Isaac Mizrahi presents the adventures of Sandee, the supermodel, or, Yvesaac's model diaries

1997 
The most talked-about fashion designer in the world has put pen to paper, and the result is three oversized and unconventional comic books featuring riotous artwork by William Frawley that take us to the heart of the fashion world. Our guide? A ravishing platinum bombshell known as Sandee the Supermodel. Isaac Mizrahi's meteoric rise to stardom has been nothing short of phenomenal. His name is everywhere-- on fashion pages, in gossip columns, on MTV. In 1995, the documentary on his life, "Unzipped", won awards and popular acclaim; Entertainment Weekly proclaimed it "a hell of a lot of fun". A hell of a lot of fun is just what's in store for readers of the action-packed comic-book adventures of Sandee the Supermodel. In Volume 1, "Sandee Takes New York", Isaac, in the guise of Yvesaac-- bandanna, attitude, and all-- reveals how he discovered the bewitching Sandee. In Volume 2, "Psandee's Psychic Adventure", Sandee heeds a psychic's warning about a man "full of hollow gold" and basks in supermodel immortality. Volume 3, "You've Read the Book, Now See the Movie", is a wicked roman a clef of Mizrahi's own struggles in getting his documentary "Unzipped" made. Internecine fashion wars abound, but the documentary on Sandee, called "False Eyelashes", wins the Academy Award and everyone lives happily ever after.
