Rachel Zoe, celebrity stylist, transitions from behind the scenes (never obscure), to in front of the camera, center-stage. She starred in the first season of her Bravo TV reality show, The Rachel Zoe Project. She was born on September 1, 1971 and entered the fashion business arena at the age of 21. Her personal style is 70’s, boho-chic. You can usually catch her out and about in a vintage jacket or vest (almost always made of fur), blonde wavy hair, really large sunglasses, sun-kissed skin, and accessories galore.
The show takes you into the life of Rachel Zoe, and shows the tumultuous life of the fashion business. Through the struggles of photo shoots, dressing models, fashion shows, and her personal A-list clients, somehow she shows us that all of it can be achieved- but never without a price. It is apparent, and never denied by Zoe, that her personal life takes a backseat to her professional life. That is just one of life’s attributes that must constantly be juggled, in order to obtain the level of trust and respect (in the industry) that she has reached. The cast is comprised of her inner circle- Rodger, Taylor, and Brad. Roger is the loving, and somewhat of a pushover husband, who wants nothing more than for his wife to succeed and be happy. Taylor is the edgy, rocker, right-hand assistant that has an attitude and trouble letting people in. Brad is the “green”, newby of the clan that has been trying for years to get this opportunity.
Not only has Zoe been a stylist, fashion forerunner, and chic friend, she has also published a book. Style A to Zoe: The Art of Fashion, Beauty and Everything Glamour, is her book that came out in hardcover in 2007 and again in paperback in 2008. This book is not only a go-to-guide for style and accessories, but also entertaining, traveling and just living a fabulous life all around. In addition to all of the listed above, she also lends her face, name, or partnership to multiple brands and campaigns (including, but not limited to, LEIBER, Samsung, Piperline.com, and GAP). She is also in the process of expanding her brand with the addition of her own accessory line.
I personally love everything about this woman- her sense of style, her drive and determination for the business and success, as well as her fun-loving outlook towards life. Not to mention, that I would give anything to have her one of a kind wardrobe! I’m looking forward to many more seasons of behind the scenes looks at how the world of styling really works (since that is what I aspire to do later in life).
