Rachel Zoe

I'd die for Rachel Zoe.

She remains as one of the most influential and talked about stylist in the industry. She is best known for working with celebrities which she put into the map of fashion such as Nicole Richie, Cameron Diaz, and Keira Knightley. A self-proclaimed vintage junkie, Zoe is one of the driving force behind today's major trends and have been collaborating with top designers, advertising campaigns, and styling fashion editorials. In her book Style A to Zoe: The Art of Fashion, Beauty, and Everything Glamour, Zoe urges her readers to inject glamour in every part of their lives.

"But life’s too short not to pay attention, get up an hour earlier and stay up an hour later, or even to be wide open to all of its amazing possibilities. Life’s too short not to take risks. To glam it up! A life of glamour and style makes everything that much more electrifying, that much more engaging."

Her show "The Rachel Zoe Project" is one of my guilty pleasures. This documentary series follows Zoe both in her professional and personal life. On the side it also shows us her ever not-so-getting along personal assistants and her husband-partner Roger Berman. Not only do I find this show to be entertaining but it is actually very informative especially for aspiring stylists or for those who want to see how it is to work in the fashion industry. She gives us a backstage access in what a stylist does from those phone calls every minute, picking up hundreds and hundreds of items from shops, fittings with clients, and so many more.

From one of her famous catchphrases, Rachel Zoe totally shut it down when it comes to fashion.
