Rachel Zoe Says Journalists Are Big Fat Liars

www.observer.com - 25th Sep 2008

Rachel Zoe: It turns out that celebrity stylist Rachel Zoe is not as thick-skinned as you would expect someone who has spent so much time standing alongside such oft-photographed personalities as Lindsay Lohan and Nicole Richie to be. In the most recent episode of The Rachel Zoe Project, which was filmed earlier this year, Ms. Zoe comes across an item on NYmag.com's The Cut blog describing an incident in which she was locked out of Marc Jacobs's Fall 2008 show in February. The discovery of the fairly even-handed account prompts her to burst into tears. Last evening, The Cut ran an item celebrating their newfound fame—bloggers have to take what they can get!—while also seeming a bit confused by Ms. Zoe's breakdown. "Honestly, we're a little b Read full story at www.observer.com

Anne Hathaway At Screening Of Rachel Getting Married
Anne Hathaway recently attended a special screening of her movie Rachel Getting Married.  As usual, she looked flawless. In fact, I wanted to talk about something fashion related....after watching the Rachel Zoe Project show for the first time, I learned that Anne, is a client of Rachel's.  In fact the two are so close that Rachel calls her "Annie." I was just surprised to find that out because Anne's style is so incredibly put together, always glam without going over the top, never too old,

The Rachel Zoe Backlash Inevitably Helps Only Rachel Zoe
From all reports, bug-eyed Rachel Zoe is not having a good month. Sure, her show just premiered on Bravo, wherein she and her team of "professional stylists" outfit young, rich girls to look like they consist off of Starbucks and cocaine — and she says "bananas" a lot. But Fashion Week saw some nasty paparazzi astutely/hypocritically heckling the size -4 celbritard for giving young girls body image issues, while Ginia Bellafante used her Times column to call Zoe a "pox on hum

Rachel Zoe Goes Back To The Time She Was A Twenty-something Blushing Bride [Fashion Zoe]
newVideoPlayer("/zoe91708_jez_512K.flv", 475, 376,""); While I'm not fond of people being cruel about others' looks, it has been widely-suggested that Rachel Zoe rose to fame looking a bit…weathered. I only mention it because on last night's Rachel Zoe Project, she discussed her wedding to her husband, investment banker Roger Berman, 12 years ago, which — if Wikipedia can be trusted about the year of her birth — would have made her about 25 years old, which was hard for me to imagine. In the clip abo

In a delightfully bitchy review of The Rachel Zoe project, New York Times critic Ginia Bellafante calls the diminutive, over-tanned stylist a "pox on humanity" "It is amazing that The Rachel Zoe Project, which focuses on her career, manages to send its audience deeper into the territory of smug NPR obsessives who won’t stop ranting about triviality’s conquest of the American soul," Belafante rages. "First I hated the show for passing Ms. Zoe off as an innovator when all she does is recycle a look that

Rachel Zoe Sets the Record Straight
Celebrity stylist Rachel Zoe has survived media beatings of a viciousness ordinarily reserved for bottomless heiresses and ex-Mouseketeers. A-list clients (“Zoe-bots,” if you’re nasty) catapulted Zoe, 36, to infamy. But the tabloids were also the nexus point between high fashion and low culture (Lindsay lurches into paparazzi-fire with handbag; handbag sells out globally within 40 minutes). Zoe capitalized on the frenzy with the creation of her own signature brand. Here, the Long Island su

Stylist Rachel Zoe aims to shake bad rep
NEW YORK - There is no stylist more famous, influential or loathed than Rachel Zoe, who selects the red-carpet looks for such A-listers as Jennifer Garner, Kate Hudson and Anne Hathaway. Zoe's association with Hollywood launched her career. And her boho-glam esthetic - oversized sunglasses and handbags, statement jewelry, vintage mixed with modern designs - has inspired trendsters and haters who can't ignore her power in the fashion world. Zoe is an undeniable force in the industry and

Being Rachel Zoe
My trainer the other day was all like, “Hey, are you watching that new Rachel Zoe show? I LOVE her! She cracks me up,” and I was like, “Yes, she’s amusing, but also: everything she touches turns to starving.” I have to admit, though, I kind of love Rachel as a stylist. You know how I’ve been raving about how freaking amazing Anne Hathaway’s looked on red carpets lately? You know who her new stylist is? Yeah, Rachel Zoe. So I’ve kind of been obsessively fol

Rachel Zoe Still Has Friends!
Despite her recent breakup and the imprisonment of her ex, Anne Hathaway is looking better than ever: svelte, sleek, glam and wholly grown up. And it's in no small part thanks to -- yes -- Rachel Zoe, who, as Hathaway told me during our recent interview, doesn't deserve her bad rep for being an egomaniac who dresses only stick figures and morphs them into faux-boho replicas of herself. "I really love Rachel," Hathaway told me. "She's not intimidating. She's silly. She has an obsession with fashion and she'
