Rachel Zoe

Rachel Zoe Rosenzweig (born September 1, 1971)[3][4] is an American fashion designer, businesswoman and author[5] who rose to prominence as a celebrity wardrobe stylist.

She has been credited with the creation of "the boho-meets-rock chic look that came to define a new breed of Hollywood ‘it’-girls who were as adept at setting trends as they were at causing trouble" in the mid-2000s.

"[7] Zoe's clients as a stylist have included Cameron Diaz, Kate Hudson, Kate Beckinsale, Debra Messing, Demi Moore, Liv Tyler, Joy Bryant, Molly Sims, Beau Garett, Eva Mendes, Paula Patton, Anne Hathaway, Jennifer Lawrence, Miley Cyrus, and Pauly Shore.

[7][10] Zoe's influence on her clients was discussed in the media, with speculation that she was responsible for Richie's widely-reported weight loss and more generally setting a trend for 'size zero' bodies.

[10] The LA Times claimed that "Fashion insiders have whispered privately that Zoe is single-handedly bringing back anorexia",[7] accusations that she denied.

[11] In December 2006, Zoe was fired by Richie and the media reported a "feud" between the pair, who had previously been close friends.

[9] Following the subsequent decline of 'boho' fashion, the tabloid media lost much of its interest in Zoe, although she continued working as a stylist to celebrities.

Zoe dropped her last name in favor of her middle when she began her career as a fashion stylist, as Rosenzweig sounded "too Jewish".

[15] She studied psychology and sociology at George Washington University, where she met her future husband, Rodger Berman.

[16][7][20] Critics accused Zoe of promoting the eating disorder anorexia nervosa, both during the height of her fame as a celebrity stylist in the mid-2000s[21][11] and in retrospective work on that period: writing for Grazia in 2020 on the 2000s fashion revival of the early 2020s, Laura Antonia Jordan wrote, "The ‘zoebot’ look became inextricable from the glorification of size zero.

In response, Zoe released a statement to TMZ: "After trying to be a good friend to Nicole, we made a mutual decision to sever our working relationship.

[25] The fourth season premiered in September 2011 and involved Zoe dealing with Brad Goreski's departure as well as her pregnancy with her first child.

[26] The fifth and final[27] season aired during spring 2013, focusing on the development of her collection and other projects like blowout salon DreamDry, as well as the preparation for the release of her second book, Living in Style: Inspiration and Advice for Everyday Glamour.

[32] In 2015 The Zoe Report launched Box of Style, a service that delivers a selection of Zoe-approved goods to subscribers' doorsteps four times a year.

[21] Style A to Zoe: The Art of Fashion, Beauty and Everything Glamour, a book co-written with Rose Apodaca, was published in 2007.

Zoe is a part of the ownership group of Angel City FC of the National Women's Soccer League.

[42] In 2009, the Luxe Rachel Zoe collection, a QVC exclusive consisting of handbags, jewelry, scarves, sunglasses, and outerwear, was announced.
