Recollections From Their Early Collaboration
Mizrahi reflected on their history, recalling his work with Paltrow during her early career. He highlighted her unforgettable presence during their fittings and shared memories of her distinctive qualities. According to Mizrahi,
“I used to make clothes for Gwyneth in the ’90s. I swear to you, I remember when she used to come in for fittings.”
He continued,
“She would leave after things, and I’d say that girl has the most fabulous ass I’ve ever seen. She has the best ass in show business, I mean that. That’s the one thing I can remember about Gwyneth. Except for the fact that she’s hilarious and so good in this.”

Behind the Scenes of Marty Supreme
“Marty Supreme,” set in the 1950s, features Timothée Chalamet as Marty Mauser and is inspired by the real-life story of champion table tennis player Marty Reisman. Gwyneth Paltrow portrays Kay Stone, a faded Hollywood actress who becomes romantically linked to Chalamet’s character. The movie, directed by Josh Safdie, allowed Mizrahi to reconnect with both its leading actress and the director.
Speaking on the creative process, Mizrahi noted,
“You could feel that they were making something beautiful. When it started screening, people were calling me and saying, ‘Darling, this movie is the best thing since Scorsese.’”
He explained further,
“I knew it. I had this idea that [Josh] was making something career-shaping, you know?”

“I’ve known him since he’s a little boy. I met him at my downstairs neighbour’s. He was best friends with her son. We worked together. They made these little films in 2008. I knew him as a young filmmaker.”
