No More Celebrity Stylists Means a Freer America

Oh that's cute. Because the economy is dumb these days, famous celebrities have gotten it into their bone-swaddled, pea-sized brains that they can dress themselves. This means no more work for scary skeleton stylist ladies like Rachel Zoe! More »

Rachel Zoe Returns, Patrick Swayze Whithers, Mandy Moore Is Less

It's technically shabbos but the gossip wheels keep churning. No rest for the weary, I suppose. Up next: broken hearts, broken contracts, broken skin and the return of demon Zoe. More »

Rachel Zoe Knows Her Critics Well

Supertan, creating-the-zeitgeist celebrity stylist Rachel Zoe talks about the cultural critics that hurt her feelings: "Oh, honey, I’ve spent a good part of the past three years wanting to crawl under a rock. Marc Jacobs said to me, 'Rachel, most of these bloggers are living in God knows where, having a bad day.'” [Blackbook]

Just Asking: Were we the only ones who noticed the prominently placed Restylane commercial during last night's episode of The Rachel Zoe Project? And was it at all bizarre that the ad placed on almost exclusive emphasis on filling in wrinkles surrounding the mouth? What exactly are you trying to say, Bravo? [The Rachel Zoe Project]

Rachel Zoe, Stop Trying to Make 'I Die' Happen

In the annals of Bravo catchphrases, there are those that hit ("Make it work!") and those that miss (like Jonathan Adler's sheepish "See you later, decorator" from Top Design). Still, an oft-repeated turn of phrase is the one accessory no Bravo star can be without, and so it goes for stylist Rachel Zoe, whose docu-series The Rachel Zoe Project premiered on the channel last night. Whether faced with a beautiful pair of shoes or the terrifying orange head of top American designer Michael Kors, Zoe has one stock response: "I die." With the help of Molly McAleer, we've assembled a rapid-fire montage of each "I die" uttered in the series premiere. Is it simply a self-fulfilling prophecy given the stylist's skeletal frame, or do its multiple intended uses presage the fashion world's version of "Aloha"? [Bravo]

Nightmare celeb stylist Rachel Zoe talks trash to the Times' Deborah Solomon Lynn Hirschberg: "Anna Wintour is one of my heroes, but they say I'm more influential. As great as it is, Vogue won't change a designer's business. But if an unknown brand is worn by a certain person in a tabloid, it will be the biggest designer within a week." You hear that, Wintour? She's coming at ya! [WWD]

Gramercy Park Hotel Roof Club: An Eden Without Arden?

Since Urbandaddy makes no sense to us, we skimmed their mailing about the Gramercy Park Hotel's Private Rooftop Club with an admixture of confusion and apathy.

There's a new girl in town. And by girl, we mean spot. And by spot, we mean private members-only rooftop lounge, opening this week. In case you haven't made her acquaintance, it's the new Gramercy Park Hotel Private Roof Club and Garden. Although she's still gun-shy for press at this stage, we bring you a sneak peek

In Defense of Rachel Zoe

Why does the profile of celeb stylist Rachel Zoe in today's Styles bring to mind some other recent take on the career of a maligned, super-successful lady? Maybe it's quotes like this one: "She brings almost a prescient sense of where the market is going to be, and of where peoples' tastes are." Yes, Rachel Zoe is totally the Ultragrrrl of LA! Or fashion! Or being thin! Or something. And like yesterday's controversial Voice article, this piece doesn't have much new info, or many quotes that don't sound political or hedgy. In fact, the truest-sounding thing anyone says in the whole thing is probably Rachel herself: '"Over the last year I've learned to develop a really thick skin." Well, clearly. More »

Fashion Week: Michael Kors

Ahh, Michael Kors. Who doesn't love fashion's tallest oompa loompa? So memorably bitchy on Proj. Run, so unmemorable when it comes to his tasteful brown garments. Still, we dispatched Gawker photographer (we're not going to be cute about it again, the man is just a photographer, damn it) Nikola Tamindzic to document Kors's Fall collection, and he came back with the shot above, among others. Isn't it pretty much the best thing you've ever seen in your entire life? Not only does it articulate exactly where the models are supposed to walk (up the runway and then back, with a pause at the end — really??), it instructs them in a Dee-licious Dichotomy! They are Young Gorgeous and have Bank Accounts around the World! We understand the stiff, pained smiles so many of them sported on the runway so much better now. Anyway, Donald and Melania and Raisin Face Zoe, among others, seemed to enjoy it. Nikola's full gallery can be found here. More »

Rachel Zoe To Spill Her Guts

In a book! What did you think we meant? We hear that Rachel "raisin face" Zoe, stylist and former stylist to a slim cadre of starlets, has sold a collection of her best tips to (we think) Harper. It's entitled Style from A to Zoe: The Guide to All Things Glamour. If anyone wants to hand over the proposal, now would be a good time. We just need to confirm our suspicions about what the 'C' chapter is all about. More »
