Whether in Greenwich Village or the Hamptons, Isaac Mizrahi, who used to love going out for breakfast, tends to cook at home these days. But he still takes his two dogs out for walks.
“If you have any kind of good-looking dog,” says the designer, who met his husband while walking his late mixed-breed “couture dog” Harry several years ago, “you can’t help but use the dog as a form of display.”
Especially right now, when one-percenters are out and about using them as something between status handbags and social lubricants. “Even if you can’t touch other people, you can touch other people’s dogs, and that’s a comfort,” says animal activist Georgina Bloomberg.
