Rachel Zoe

Die for Paris Fashion Week!

Zoe talks Paris Fashion Week, her 'I die' moment in Coco Chanel's apartment, and more!

Oct 5, 2009

So do you think the Paris situation between Taylor and Brad was resolved well?

Well, the whole Paris situation was a little more intricate than what was shot. There was a lot of back and forth about the whole thing and I did not talk behind Brad's back. I wasn't, as he said, 'trying to test him.' It was something that was a very difficult decision. In my mind, Taylor felt she had the right to go, and she did. Ultimately Taylor gave up the chance. It was a catch-22. Had she gone she would have felt guilty, she would have felt bad that Brad didn't go. It was one of those rare occurrences when Taylor wanted to do something for the first time. I really... it's sometimes how parents walk away for the situation and tell their kids to figure it out amongst themselves. And that's what I did. I told them to deal with it. I told them I wanted both of them there, but that they both couldn't go. By definition Taylor, because she's senior, should have come. Brad says, 'She's our boss, she should make the decision.' But when I told Taylor she was senior so she should come, she turned around and told Brad to go. But no one was going to win in that situation. Taylor is going to stay home and ultimately she's going to be pissed about it. So I had to just walk away from it.

Well, it seems pretty hard to win with Taylor in general.

Yes, definitely. That is correct. But I've had many years of doing this with Taylor. It's not my first day.

First, I want to say is I LOVE YOU!! You’re a brilliant stylist and I adore you!! You are amazing at what you do!! You can transform anything and anyone!! Second, I was very disappointed in your management skills. I truly feel you knew that Taylor deserved to go to Paris!! Why you decided upon Brad is beyond you supporters. I guess you know best! Good luck to you and your wonderful team!!!

How do I send my clothes to RACHEL ZOE??????

Rachel, Just in case you didn't get my offer from last season, it still stands. I will replace Taylor for you, do 6 times the job at minimum, even though you no longer live some where that I could just camp out in your back yard, i would die to work for you for free as long as I can live in a closet or something.

This episode about paris is to die for Rachel brought back my passion for fashion and oh how I miss paris she is so over the top. KEEP IT UP!

Please stop. I did love to watch and learn from Rachel, she was an inspiration, but now the silly drama, the nonsense has made me change the channel. The Rachel Zoe Project started out so well, it was unlike all the the others, but sadly that has all changed. Please tell Taylor to leave, her angst is more than the world can tolerate, view, put up with, care about....ugh ahhhh enough. So sad; it was a show that was at one time worth watching.......

Rachel I just think you are the most beautiful woman alive. I mean it. Your personality seems so calm and collected even during the highest of stresses. I want your shape, do you exercise? What is your secret? I am arealy big fan and just really enjoy your show. Luv, Stephanie N.

Rachel,

You messed up badly. I cannot believe how shallow you are that you would allow Taylor to stay home and "take care of YOUR business" while you take numb nuts to Paris. Wow, if I were Taylor, I'd say adios amigos! I lost a lot of respect for you on this one.

The worst part, you don't even feel badly about it - your whole attitude screams "Oh well"

OMG! Rachel I have to admit when i first started watching your show i did not know how to take you. But i have watched every show and i jusr love you. im a mother of three and a Grandmother of 8 and i just turned 45 last friday Oct. 2 I look foward to your show everyweek. I think you over work yourself, But i do the same sometimes thats just life. anyway your great!!!!! Keep up the good work. I hope you feel better soon.

Rachel you are great! I love your show.

I am so in love with this show, I watch it and dream about starting over in California. Getting to see the fashion shows and the clothes and the hair and everything is such an inspiration! I hope this show stays on for a long time!

Thank you Rachel for sharing your Paris fashion week experience with us. This episode was truly a gift. I sat on my couch oohing and aahing the whole time and felt like a little girl in a candy store watching all the fabulous fashion and beautiful scenery. Love your show and am already dreading that next week is the finale.

I'm so OOC for this show!!! Loves it!! Don't know about Brad honey but I was front and center with Rachel! Bananas!!! Best show on Bravo.. and I heart Brad and Taylor... I think I'm missing in that show though hummmm

The black bag you carry in some episodes with the brass clasp. They never show it long enough to see who it is......can you tell us?

It's a simple solution to the whole picture. You need to slow down and take stress out of your life. Taylor needs to grow and move in a different direction. Why not give Taylor a whole slice of your enterprise that she'd be responsible for. Then everybody's happy.

Rachel, You are an amazing woman! Anyone with eyes can see that your husband loves you very very much... Speaking from my heart I wanted to tell you that life is all to short and if we are not careful we miss golden opportunities - meaning? take a risk and why not delegate more of the tasks to your staff? they will be fine! this way, you and rodger can spend more together time, connect, which will help you to de-stress.... I am afraid this if you continue on your current roller coaster you will eventually burn yourself out, where will your clients, and your health be then? Please be as loving and giving to yourself and your clients...... We need more amazing women like you in this world and I think that your husband would agree!

Rachel,

I absolutely LOVE, LOVE, LOVE your show...or as you would say "I die for it." I had stopped watching t.v. for over 6 months, I literally disconnected all my services, and started reading alot. Then one day at the gym I saw a commercial that your show was returning...and thought the t.v. hiatus is over...Rachel is back. I love how you are sooooo passionate about fashion, and you have a dynamic team (Rodger included). I just want to say you rock...you are BANANAS!!!

Dear Rachel,

I doubt you will even read this comment. I personally never in my life felt compelled to leave a comment about a show or a person I have viewed on TV..but I must tell you that I truly think you are so amazing! Your love for fashion is so inspiring for someone like me who only gets to dream about it. Wish for it..would "Die" for it! What is so refreshing is you don't take your every day life for grant it. Yes it was your 100th time in Paris..but the glow on your face as you walked thru "heavens doors" at CoCo Channel made me cry a tear of joy for you. Congratulations Rachel Zoe..you truly deserve all of your success.

P.S. Luvs the Rachel Zoe Camp..Taylor, Brad and your beloved Roger..are just precious little jewels in your life.

Rachel, you a one of the greatest stylists, ever!! Be careful though, do not let your career overshine your marriage with Roger. He is a devoted husband and a cutie... Make time and go out on dates alone with your husband. It can be done. You need to relax more and enjoy you marriage first.

Rachel

I think you are the best! I love your show and staff. Last nights show from Paris week was great. When you went to CoCo's apartment I wanted to cry. I knew you would be in heaven but thank you for taking us all along. I love her almost as much as you do. I even named my dog after her since I dont have any kids yet. I am sure I will watch this episode over and over again. Take care of yourself

Rachael I am old enough to be your mother so please keep that in mind,.. You cross divisional lines of age, gender, etc. for that you should be commended. Your episode on using your jewelry for a good cause was inspirational to me. Seeing your family pictures made me realize that as a mother I had done none of that. And I wish I had. More than that you inspired me to really look at doing something meaningful to give back. Breast cancer awareness is upon us could that be fate? Thank you

Hi Rachel, I just posted a comment - and then I read that you have been sick for 6 months!! I am so sorry to hear that!! It makes the smaller things in life seem so trivial- including what I posted about earlier. I hope that you feel better soon!!! (I will keep you in my thoughts and prayers). You are a very sweet and caring person- and I wish you nothing but the best. Please do your best to take good care of yourself, we want to have you around for a long time!!! We love you.

Rachel, I love, love, love your show! You are fabulous!!!! Fashion week in Paris was amazing. I do have to say that I think Taylor deserved to go instead of Brad. I was surprised that not once did Brad volunteer to stay. He knew better than that, but oh well.

Rachel you are over-the-top wonderful. I personally think Brad was the right choice for Paris. Everyone seems to forget Taylor never wants to attend any function... Brad is always there to support you.

Hi Rachael!* i just wanna say that i love u & ur show too, i really do. I love fashion as well & my dream is like to be a big fashion designer. Im only 13 years old & i think i know to much for my age. LOVE YA!*......... any fashion tips???

love, love your show. I would have loved to be in Coco Chanel apartment with you. I requested it by letter last year and was turned down, of course. YOu are so lucky and grateful too. i have a passion for vintage jewelry since im a little girl. I hope your show continues for a long time. Be well.

Out of all the reality show on Bravto TV..Your show is my favorite then Jeff Lewis because you guys are so RRREEEAAALLLLLL....and treat everyone around you as family. Im glad that Brad went with you to Paris 'cause Taylor always complains(blah,blah,) and she's always in a miserable mood and you dont want any bad karma with you. But I thank you for bringing the fashion show right infront of our living room and make us feel excited as if Im really there in person. Also, luv, luv, luv how you treat Brad and Taylor as ur kids but most of all please take care of your health 'cause I want to see more of you. I'll keep you and Roger in my prayers (hes an amazing husband and it shows he really loves you, Brad and Taylor. Love everything about your show and your life....Fan 4Life...

Hi Rachel,

Just wanted to say I love, love your show. And I would love, love to work for you. I don't understand why your staff is always stressed out. I could run circles around them ;) The Chanel apartment was amazing!! I too, LOVE CC!!

I'd love to know the shade/brand lipstick Rachel was wearing at the Chanel show.

Rachel and Rodger love love your show, my daugther is a fashion designer and we watch it together every monday over the phone she at college. You are truly gifted and blessed to enjoy a great career. Always remember to keep your health, marriage first those are the only constants in our lives. Rachel always make take time for you and your husband. MUCH LOVE to you both and CONGRATULATIONS TO FUTURE RACHEL ZOE PROJECTS. Paris show was awesome.

Paris was amazing and the fashion even more. Here's a thought from outside the box: Rachel, you and Rodger move to Paris! You get to live and work in the beautiful city, in the midst of fashion. Taylor and Brad hold down the operation from LA. Taylor might like being in charge. You seem generous and you are smart; I'm sure you'll do the right thing, what ever that may be!

Rachel - I love your show and enjoy every minute of it. I am worried about your emotional and physical health. In this season you have seen a doctor and she said to slow down. Hope you are taking her advice. Your job is full of enough drama, so take control of the outside forces. You should have made the decision about Paris and chosen Taylor. I love all of your styles and tips and hope your health has improved.

Hi Rachel, thank you for givin us Paris, it was wonderful and the shows, bananas...... as a woman I urge you to take of your self live your life happy and try to spend more time with Roger, he is so wonderful and he deserve more time from you. Live is so short, enjoy each other. I hope to see on the next season, take care.

Rachel- love your show and I see that you will be on QVC with some of your items- cannot wait! I love your makeup and was wondering if you would share the product info for your foundation, blush and eyeshadows- many thanks and much continued sucess to you and your show!!!

I think when you need to hire another assistant, you should have a bravoe contest and pick one of the fans to change their life!

Your clients are really blessed to have someone like you to help them to look their best for the public. Your show is a help because many seem to now care about their appearance. I too has had a passion for fashion and design. Being poor caused a lot of regrets because of my creativity. The other young lady should be quiet and work, be thankful for her chances. I had to grab my phone to take video of Coco's place. I have been waiting to go to France. I tried to teach myself french. You are genuine. I hope you eat well, and get some rest. Your husband is very supportive. I will be praying for you. People are looking for hope. Your sister is great too with how she helped with the photos. God's blessing and guidance to your staff. Your show let us see the designers, how personal they can be. I enjoyed you going from one show to another, that was something else. God Bless You.

Rachel, Yes, Inspiration..Truly the Paris week episode is for every one of your fans - Bananas. It's like You said everything we all feel as well. The designers were incredible this season - Galliano was my fav. and when u went Coco Chanel's apartment - there's not one viewer who didn't just gasp and sort of experience this with emotion too. It's not just a dumb reality show -Ok this maybe a hollywood version of ur life - that we see and isn't truly your off camera world -but that episode was incredible.It made me like tear up cuz I have the same passion for couture and textiles and color and texture in design as yourself or anyone who's ever been passionate about design. I'm actually just a Mother/Wife of 4 daughters but I have a huge talent for color theory/textiles, and interior design was my gift. I have chosen to stay home and just took 100 Art institute courses making A's on all of course. But- I share that same insane amazement at the -"on another level style of Coco". Thanks so much for this show. Please take a breathe you do so well u have room to relax truly. I have anxiety too - so I know the not breathing dizzy thing. espeically when it comes to like having all the details set. Tiffany

Hey Rachel, All I see is dresses for the slimmer ladies. I would like to know if you style for anyone say that is a little overweight or on the heaier side? We would love to be stylish as well. After all, the average size women in the US is size 14. I know when I shop for something sylish, I have to get it altered. But that is the price you pay for being short and overwight. Well, any suggestions I would apprecitate. I love you fashion sense.

Thanks

Live your show! Would love to know where you got your polka dot shirt, black and white? I need it. Been looking all over in the malls for it, but I can't find it and that's annoying!!!!!!

I am a huuge fan of the show! How amazing to be surrounded by such beautiful pieces of art! I must say that I have been really disappointed in the way that Taylor was treated over the Paris thing. She seems to be your right hand gal but seldom is she rewarded....

Rachel I have a question for you, I received a vintage Gucci "doctor's" speedy satchel bag from my granmother but the leather needs a little retouching, are there any products out there that can help make it look amazing again? Or a purse doctor I can take it to.

I love this show, Rachel you are the reason for many celebs to look that great love the bracelets who is the maker ?

Rachel, Just love watching your show, I am a new viewer this past summer. What does your husband do with your business? He seems to be very supportive. Taylor and Brad are great too on your show. Love your fashion sense, would like to see a newsletter on your web site to keep up with the current trends.

Thanks so much Sweet Leinani

Hi Rachel! I just want to say I LOVE your show! I love fashion and I love watching how you style. It's A-mazing! Your finale is coming up this week and I think the season was way too short!! Thanks again for what you do by bringing fashion to the public in a whole new way. Have a wonderful day!

Rachel, it would have been nice to see Taylor go to Paris. I hope you feel better soon. Good luck to you and the rest of the RZ team.

Rachel, you ROCK!!! You are an amazing woman. I love your style. The show is the bees knees!!! You have an amazing husband and an awesome team!! You deserve all of it, but you don't deserve to be ill, no one does. I am very sorry.. I suffer from vertigo and I have stage IV breast cancer. So I'm in rough shape myself... Please, listen to the doc. Your health is very important. Love you forever! IDie

HEY RACHEL, OMG I LOVE I LOVE I LOVE, I AM AN ASPIRING STILIST AND I WOULD LIKE TO ACCOMPLISH EVEN WORKING PR IN FASHION.... PLEASE PLEASE TAKE ME SERIOUS I WOULD DIE TO MEET YOU. MEET YOU AND IMPRESS AND IN SOME CRAZY WAY IN MY LIFE AND MAYBE SOMEDAY WORK FOR YOU!!

HEY RACHEL, OMG I LOVE I LOVE I LOVE, I AM AN ASPIRING STILIST AND I WOULD LIKE TO ACCOMPLISH EVEN WORKING PR IN FASHION.... PLEASE PLEASE TAKE ME SERIOUS I WOULD DIE TO MEET YOU. MEET YOU AND IMPRESS AND IN SOME CRAZY WAY IN MY LIFE AND MAYBE SOMEDAY WORK FOR YOU!!

Hi Rachel! I love your show, your staff & you!! I am currently in school for Fashion Marketing & Management. However, until I started watching your show I had no real idea of what I wanted to do with my degree when I finish school! I know now that I want to be a stylist!! U are such an inspiration & to h#@* with all those tabloids that want to talk crap about you! You are a phenomenal, beautiful, & successful woman and no one can take that from you! You are truly an inspiration to me and I wish you continued success!!!

WWWAAAAAAAHHHHHHH. OMG I can't stand that this is the season finale. What will I do? I love the show and you are amazing. I truly hope you feel better. Try to do some relaxation techniques. I'm sure you hardly have time, but you need to make some time. Yoga?

I can't wait until next season. Hang in there!

Rachel,

You have been complaining about a headache and nausea for weeks. Please read the book "Your Body's Many Cries for Water" by F. Batmanghelidj, M.D. You need to be drinking 2 quarts of water per day - with a little salt in your diet. My unprofessional layman's assessment is you are dehydrated! I never see you drinking water. Maybe you do, and I've missed it. If so, I apologize in advance for my misconception. But like most people we do not consistently get 2 quarts in per day.

Best Wishes, Michelle
