A Graphic Coat of Many Colors
Ms. Prugnaud, 56, had recently bought it at an Isaac Mizrahi archive sale, she said, adding that the brand's eponymous designer was a friend. 'Isaac's fashion shows were always so fabulously chic in the '90s,' said Ms. Prugnaud, an owner of Mint Group, a fashion company in Europe that, among other things, oversees buying operations for certain American department stores. She owns the company with her husband; he was with her the day we met, and so were their two daughters.
With her coat, Ms. Prugnaud was wearing a printed scarf that she said had a special place in her heart. It was from AZ Factory, the label that the designer Alber Elbaz founded after his time at Lanvin. Mr. Elbaz introduced it in 2021, months before he died of Covid-19.
'I wear this scarf all the time,' she said. 'It's so joyful, which is so like him. I always wear it when I travel. As if he is still with me.'
