Even though everyone and their gay in the closet brother would watch, Marc Jacobs won’t be hitting the reality circuit just yet. Sorry Bravo, you’ll just have to settle for every other fame whoring designer out there.

Ali Stephens is bringing me back to the glory days of 2006 when Rachel Zoe made celebrities anorexic fashion experts in this editorial. I’m not really sure why, but I think it might be the mix of overloaded shopping bags, straight hair with obvious extensions, constant use of fur and high high heels. Whatever it is, I’m loving the flashback.

I’m a fan of Rachel Zoe. I was a fan of her show, and think her wardrobe is fabulous.  So when I heard that she was launching a website with her favorite pics and style advice, I was a bit excited. When I went over to Rachelzoe.com, 

I found myself just as disappointed as Style Frizz to find only one section of the site complete, the accessories portion.  And when I say complete, I mean one article.  This only left me with one question.  Why on earth would you launch a website with only one article on it, with a bunch of sections that are completely empty?  It’s like launching a site that isn’t ready to be launched…what’s the point?

Maybe it will grow on me once there is actually content.

Rachel Zoe has taken to offering sartorial advice through her Twitter account.

That’s right folks, if you want the celebrity stylist, Bravo Television star, and catchphrase makers advice just connect to her on Twitter. I Die!!!!

Here’s her latest answer to a graphic designers looking for interview wear.

PJR1223: Hi Rach!What is the best thing to wear on an interview for a graphic designer/fash. photographer?

rzrachelzoe: Since you’re interviewing in a creative field, you have a little more leeway than something strictly corporate.

rzrachelzoe: Keep your look mainly professional (think blazer with a bow-tie blouse, and wide-leg trousers), but add a personal touch

rzrachelzoe: touch that conveys your taste in a subtle way—maybe a wide studded belt or locket necklace. Overall, go minimal on jewelry…

rzrachelzoe: pick thoughtfully chosen pieces that aren’t too distracting.

rzrachelzoe: and NO tranny heels to work (3 inches max)…haha do as I say, not as I do

rzrachelzoe: oh, haha! I’m sorry! @PJR1223, that advice generally doesn’t apply to your gender. interview-attire for a guy…

rzrachelzoe: ..I’d go with nice jeans (I know some guys are hesitant to buy designer denim, but it’s worth the investment) a dress shirt,

rzrachelzoe: and a blazer. black or brown ankle boots, no sneakers. and no cologne or strong aftershave. xoRZ

1. The woman has  a shitload of shoes. Seriously, this borderlines on epic.

2. She has a thing for creepy old gay dudes.

3. If she wasn’t styling the rich and famous, she’d probably be a little homemaker. Here she is baking some Banana Bread. SHOCK and AWE that she’s using a measuring cup, seriously, who does that? I just throw everything in and hope for the best.

TV Scoop sat down with celebrity stylist Rachel Zoe to talk about her job, influences, and reality show “The Rachel Zoe Project” which is soon to be airing on ‘Really,’ a UKTV network.

TV Scoop: When did you first realize you wanted to get into the fashion industry?
Rachel Zoe: I think I had I known what actually existed in the fashion world before I actually graduated from college, I probably would have done it very differently… and gone to fashion school, maybe gone to St Martins. So I didn’t really map it out. But I think when I figured out what was out there I became obsessed by it. It was all I ever wanted to do and I couldn’t imagine doing anything else. It has been like that ever since.

TVS: Now, you’re well known for your vintage look, right? When did that first emerge as the style for you?
RZ: For as long as I can remember! As soon as I was old enough to shop I fell in love with vintage. When I was younger, as a teenager, I used to ask myself how I could get this glamour for, like, not thousands and thousands of dollars. Ultimately, that answer kept coming back up as vintage. How could I get those vintage fur coats, that peasant dress or kaftan or whatever… that’s when I fell in love with vintage. I think, for me, it became the way that I could get that unique piece that no one else could have.

TVS: Who were your first style icons when you first started out?
RZ: I think it has always been the icons from the 60s and 70s. You know… Twiggy, Edie Sedgwick, Penelope Tree. And then you go into the Marianne Faithfuls, and Ali McGraws and Bianca Jaggers. They were all so glamorous in such an effortless way. With all the tassled hair and sequins and Yves Saint Laurent. I just became obsessed.

TVS: OK, so onto the show. With everything you experienced in the past – all the cameras, the showbiz events etc – was the idea of doing a fly-on-the-wall documentary series a daunting prospect?
RZ: It was something I said would never do in my whole life. And then you have your parents in your ear and saying never say never. I also said I’d never write a book and I’ve done that… so it was the last thing I thought I’d ever do but it turned out to be the best thing I ever did. Life lesson learned there. It’s hard though, I’m not going to lie. It wasn’t done as effort to become a celebrity, it was done in an effort to educate people about what we do in the fashion industry and how we go about it. What the designers do and what the process of styling is. We go into it. I was getting kind of tired about the misconceptions that stylists live this glamorous life, just go to shows and parties and put dresses on people. That’s not what it is.

TVS: So what would you say to those people who say that your job – and the fashion industry as a whole – is money for old rope and a doss? It’s not a real job, surely…
RZ: I think that was one of the biggest outcomes of the show – from across the board, from people I meet on the street who are construction workers to people who my dad does business with, tell me that they’re obsessed with the show and that they had absolutely no idea what the process was and all of the management. They’re surprised it’s a proper business and run as one. I think it’s one of those things… we work so hard. It’s not just dressing people for the red carpet. I collaborate with various designers, contribute to magazines and websites, I’m very often pulling clothes for people in their real lives as well as for them in their public life. So it’s a lot and it’s a constant fight and a constant marathon.

TVS: Which is why you need a rock solid team around you. I was actually pretty impressed by the team you have assembled, especially Taylor, your assistant. I wouldn’t like to muck about with her… she’s hardcore!
RZ: She is so hardcore. That’s why she has been with me for three years.

TVS: And that’s why you need her, right? How does your team, including your husband and Taylor and all of your closest associates, react to having a camera pointed at them 24-7?
RZ: Well… I think that Taylor’s bottom-of-the-list priority is to be famous. She has zero interest in it. For her it’s about getting the job done in the most efficient way possible. If you compare it to a proper company, one would say that she’s the COO (Chief Operating Officer). She keeps things moving. I couldn’t do it without her. I couldn’t develop my brand if she wasn’t on the inside making sure everything is running properly.

TVS: Sure, and that’s another thing I noticed in the show… you want to build on your success as a stylist and branch out into a Rachel Zoe brand of accessories. We see you in the show very daunted… why? There were moments where you openly admitted that you were very afraid…
RZ: You mean in the sense of developing my own brand? I still am scared! It’s hard. Every. Single. Day. I find it a constant struggle to balance building the brand to where I want it to be and maintaining my clients to keep styling. I still love styling. It’s never ending. It just means a lack of sleep and lots of insecurity, and just trying to keep everything at the level it needs to be at. I’m shattered a lot of the time, an my husband… well, he’s amazing.

TVS: How are Taylor and Brad (Rachel’s new assistant) at the moment? They really do not like each other…
RZ: I can’t tell you. I’d have to kill you.

TVS: Not kill me as in.. ‘You totally killed it!’ That’s one of your catchphrases isn’t it?
RZ: Oh my God!

TVS: There you go there’s another one… so there’s ’she totally killed it’… ‘I die’…
RZ: Oh my God, when I listen to myself… it’s really quite amazing when you have to watch yourself on TV. I’m like, do I really speak like that?! And then be haunted by these things forever. My clients very often laugh at me when they hear these things come out of my mouth in fits of excitement. And they’ll just be like “did you really say that?” and then it’s there forever.

TVS: That’s another thing that comes across from the show. Whatever anybody thinks of you or thinks of the fashion industry, your passion for fashion is really intense.
RZ: Even the producers on the show are just so shocked… however big a meltdown I’m having or if I’m having the toughest day ever, as soon as we get some beautiful clothes in the studio or if I go into a vintage shop I completely transform into a seven-year-old girl in a candy store. Ohmygodohmygodohmygod. I just get so excited. The minute I stop doing that (and I don’t think I ever will) I’ll know it’s time to move on.

TVS: So, post-show, how’s life for you?
RZ: Life is good! My only complaint is that I’m tired. So tired. Apart from that I’m very, very lucky and fortunate. Listen, nothing in life comes for free so I just want to keep working and getting better. Just to do more and hitting different areas of the business. Once I tackle one thing, I’m like, what’s next?

TVS: I’d be a fool if I didn’t ask you about British fashion while I had this time with you. So, erm, what do you think of British fashion?
RZ: Are you kidding me? The style in the UK is a huge, huge inspiration for me. I love… even walking along the streets of London, I’m like, aaaurgh [makes sighing noise]. You just get that great aristocratic style that I love so much. Like that classic English… Savile Row and all that. And… I love the whole Portobello/Notting Hill vibe too. I love it. I think London street style is one of the best in the world. And because I’m so influenced by the 60s and 70s, a huge part of that comes from the UK. My God, forget about it. My favourite English designers, there are quite a few… Stella McCartney, I love Jonathan Saunders, I love Temperley, Matthew Williamson of course… Christopher Kane. There are so many!

TVS: What’s next for your fashion wise? What’s the hot new Rachel Zoe look?
RZ: Fashion is moving into the 80s. Me? I’m staying in the 60s! I’ll do a few splashes of 80s vintage Saint Laurent with the shoulder pads and things like that. But, you know, Marc Jacobs is a huge influence. Luis Vuitton? I can’t even breathe. Chanel, just makes me cry.

TVS: Me too. What about at home… after all the parties and designer clobber, what do you wear? Are you a jogging bottoms girl?
RZ: I’m not. When I’m, like, not in ‘my look’ I’m in a bathrobe if truth be told. My casual uniform is some sort of wide-leg jean and some great Chanel or Saint Laurent jacket.

“It will be absolutely, 100% accessible fashion for sure — for everybody. There’s no reason for me to do a luxury-level design. That’s not who I am. I don’t think it’s what people want from me. I think that I would need to give people that fantasy becoming a reality. That’s my job.”

Her line will include jewelry, clothing, bags, and fragrance.

Apparently, this shirt is inspired by two of Rachal Zoe’s catchphrases, “I Die” and “Bananas”. I guess “Don’t you fucking eat that marshmallow you fat ass cow” wouldn’t fit on a t-shirt.

We haven’t spoken too much about The Rachel Zoe Project, but word has it that the relatively “concise” season is coming to a close. No one is quite sure if the show, which airs on Bravo, will be coming back for a dose of season two, but Zoe sure would like to take the offer-

“Nothing’s official, but if Bravo asks, I’d love to. I can take it!”

Not only has the show sparked quite a bit of judgment, but quite a bit of anger as well. Speaking of Zoe and her “ludicrous” antics, a New York Times critic has spoken.

She’s “a pox on humanity.” Going on she speaks of her “mad consumption ,” which is “downright unseemly.”

Not sure what would happen if the show did return. I’m guessing at least a few more reviews like this are inevitable.

Thanks NYMag!

Wouldn’t it be nice to sleep in an extra 20 minutes every morning and wake up to the perfect outfit, accessories and all, laid out next to a freshly brewed upside-down soy carmel macchiato? Yeah, I think I’ve had a personal fashion stylist on my Christmas list for about six years now…well Santa, I’m getting old over here! Since you probably don’t have the cash for a stylist and you still want some say-so in your wardrobe, here are a few fashion experts that can give you a hand. All you need is an open mind and an open wallet!

TIM GUNN: Be honest, who doesn’t love fashion consultant and Project Runway mentor Tim Gunn? As the chair of fashion design at Parsons The New School For Design and host of Tim Gunn’s Guide to Style, it is safe to say that this man really knows his fashion shtik. Gunn’s fashion advice always leads to the polished and classy. He’ll help you accentuate your features, hide your flaws and “make it work.”

NOLE MARIN: Former jude on America’s Next Top Model and current editor/stylist for Elle, Nole Marin too has a leg up on the industry. The guy has even worked with the average Joe, providing fashion advice and makeovers for desperate teens on MTV’s Made. Marin might not be the most edgy stylist out there, but he knows what is current and he knows how to style the average body.

MISS J. ALEXANDER: Sometimes it is hard to take Miss J seriously, a grown man in makeup, pigtails and sometimes stilettos, but as runway coach, judge and consultant on America’s Next Top Model, his advice is always spot on. He might be cocky and brash, but Miss J knows what women look good in and how they should “work it.” Trust his attitude, a confident look is always the best look.

RACHEL ZOE: If your goal is to look like a celebrity, then Rachel Zoe is the stylist for you. Noted for working with prominent celebrities like Cameron Diaz, Mischa Barton and Demi Moore as well as her Bravo TV show, The Rachel Zoe Project, Zoe has all tips for glamour and sophistication.

CRISTINA EHRLICH AND ESTEE STANLEY: You may not have heard of them, but this duo may very well be the most demanded stylists in the celebrity scope. They’ve made Penelope Cruz and Nicole Richie look like a million bucks, but even so, they know how to dress on a budget. Take their expertise and pay attention to details, buy high quality classic pieces, wear a variety of silhouettes and build off of a simple piece.

Thanks for the Interview About.com!

My fashion soulmate Dita Von Teese has been in London this past week attending London Fashion Week. Here she is attending the Vivienne Westwood fashion show. Looking amazing in what else Vivienne Westwood and some serious Christian Louboutin lace heels. If I could just take step into this woman’s closet. I might just die and I mean literally, not in the Rachel Zoe way.

What on earth could studio head Harvey Weinstein and uber-stylist Rachel Zoe be reacting to?

A. I think Anna Wintour just winked at us!
B. How much Rachel just spent on a vintage Givenchy dress from 1954?
or
C. Harvey became restless at the fashion show’s late start and tried to eat Zoe, thinking she was a diamond encrusted, purple caftan wearing Churro.

Friday began a new season of Fashion Week. New York is bursting with editors, actors, models, stylists, wannabe’s, and Andre J look-a-likes. Here are some quick-hitters from the last couple of days:

You can judge for yourself which of these is a before and which is after…I really didn’t want to dedicate an entire post to her, but I just found too many great photos of her looking like utter trash. How can a celeb stylist allow herself to look like this? She is a hypocrite and a poster child for anorexia! In a recent interview, she stated that she encourages her clients to eat, while her protruding bones are right out evident. She also looks 20 years older than she really is, guess the bleach and tanning beds finally took their toll. How can anyone pay this woman to dress them? Her face makes all these outfits look bad…

Yes skinny is in, duh, but now, all we’ve been hearing about is the chest bone. Last year it was all about the clavicle, but now, judgment will be upon you if your chest bones are not countable. What I mean by this is, even if you have boobs, you should still be able to see the first five bones of your rib cage, then you are considered truly skinny, and fashionable. Here are some ladies that are apparently doing it right:

How ironic Zoe, a wish bone on your chest bone!

I hope everyone knows that I am not supporting this trend, I think this looks disgusting and unhealthy, Rachel Zoe needs to look at herself in the mirror…

It’s certainly not news to anyone that models found stomping their pumps on the runway have been getting increasingly more frail. Though people love to point fingers in various directions, for speculations of the cause, it really would be nearly impossible to blame any one source. All in all, it’s an epidemic that has been getting completely beyond a well-grasped control. Of course there were the runway shows in Madrid, which banned super-skinny models from getting their time in the limelight for all to observe their near skeletal figures, but did catalogs stop featuring super-skinny models? No. Did high fashion models have a major change in figure size? absolutely not.

Recently, not only have spectators been watching these models as they sit wide eyed with mouths hung open, people have been taking action and making the move toward a healthier model, and people are certainly taking notice. In a recent Anthropology catalog, a featured model caught glowing eyes with a healthy ensemble. Is this the start of a new movement? We sure do hope so. With advertisements like these, maybe we’re steering away from the ideal of a size zero or double zero model.

Recently even those more characteristically in the public eye have made the move to rear from super-thin. As Rachel Zoe tried on dresses for a Bazaar photoshoot, she expressed her sincere gratification that touch ups were made to take her from a frail 0 to a healthy 8. Zoe says of the positively changing scene, “I don’t have one client right now who is a size 0. All of my clients have athletic or curvy, healthy bodies.” Let’s hope we can keep it up. It’s going to be one tough battle, but if everyone pulls through you better believe it’s possible.
