Keeve weaves together a dizzying collection of go-sees, fittings, photoshoots, and fashion shows, riding the whirlwind of Isaac Mizrahi’s work life. Editor Paula Heredia’s rapid-fire style darts between passing moments of glamour, only occasionally slowing down to relish time backstage with icons like Naomi Campbell and Cindy Crawford.
