- Taylor talks Paris Fashion Week and her love of Ray Bans.
Bravotv.com: Was it hard watching Rachel and Brad at Paris Fashion Week together?
No. I'm happy that Brad went to Paris and got to see the shows. I think Paris Fashion Week is an amazing experience. I would have loved to go, but since only one of us was able to be there, I'm happy it was him. Actually, I think Rachel should have stayed home. Ha!
So you have another studio crisis...
Yes, I had an issue with Lancôme. But I want to say for the record that Brad was very much on the ball, and was very helpful finding dresses. We worked together, I mean obviously we were on different continents and in different time zones, but he REALLY helped out. He really balanced going to shows and handling the workload.
So we meet your parents in this episode. Have they watched the episode yet?
No, not yet. They watch the show live.
Do they love the show?
Yeah, they think it's great. They think I complain a lot. But they're fans of Rachel and Brad.
They give you some advice on how you should handle talking to Rachel about your job and position; did you take their advice and talk to her?
Sure they give great advice, I mean they're my parents. I definitely listen to what they have to say, and I take it into consideration. I think they were right; I really did need to sit down with Rachel and discuss my job. But blah I'm sick of talking about my job and my relationship with Rachel.
Did Rachel bring you anything from Paris?
Yes, an Hermes cuff. It was really nice of her.
But it's not a trip to Paris...
Well yeah, but ultimately in the end it was MY choice, and I chose Brad. I can't really complain about it, even though I probably do. Ideally it would have been nice if all of us went, like we originally planned. But things don't usually work out that nicely around here. So it is what it is.
So your mom has the whole shades inside thing going on...the Ray Bans...
She doesn't take her glasses off.
Did you get that from her? Is that hereditary?
No, I just like the dark. Everything looks a little bit better when it's shaded.

I would also like to know where you got that black leopard hombre jacket. My life would be complete if i could get my hands on one.

Can I just say thank god I'm not the only person that likes to wear their shades inside?! I wear prescription glasses and sometimes its just easier to keep the shades on...I don't know why people can't understand it!
Glad things have seemed to work out for you...rachel would be crazy to let you go....stay coolJK

You keep talking about how frustrated you are that your career hasn't advanced further, but you don't take any initiative to change it.
Why not put together a marketing plan and present it to Rachel? Start with the fragrance line she wants to launch. Identify the target audience; conduct a SWOT analysis; develop possible brand position and messaging; recommend pricing strategies; think about distribution, even packaging ideas.
You're too young to be so pissed off.

Taylor, you are by far the best person on the show! You are the one who always does sooo much work while the other 2 just "play" around. I don't think you're given enough credit! And the way you dress is so inventive! Hope to see more episode!

Hello Taylor, I just love your look, can you ask Rachel to put you,Brad and Rodger in her next photo shoot. Love to see you in some of those outfits. You could show alot of younger girls whats appropriate to wear these days. You look so put together professionally and have good eye for style.
Thanks

I know it's easier said then done to get passed the fear of what is next for you and the change.. But you are talented, have great style and I think you should go for your dreams and create what you want for yourself.. Do what is right for you, not for everyone else.. You have to live your own life.

Taylor, you did complaint alot, however I do understand giving up Paris was a huge thing for you to do. But nonetheless there is always next year too. Brad doesn't seem to be that bad. He did seem like he got himself together.
Peace out...

Hi Taylor,
I second the motion of another viewer's post. You better not quit! I think you are an incredible asset to Rachel Zoe's business and although you show your stress and unhappiness quite a bit, your generous nature, great work ethic and right-on eye-for-style comes through even more strongly.
Dig your style! Stay on and keep us inspired....

Taylor, I love your sense of style and you are my favorite person on the show. Can you tell me who does your hair? I live in L.A. and I have to have your stylist. Okay, on the subject of Paris. I am so dissapointed that Brad did not step up the plate and do the right thing and say it was not his place to go. Also, I lost alot of respect for Rachel for putting you in that position since she owns the business. Loved seeing your parents. Seems like they are great!

I really enjoy watching the show and I hope that your future is bright! I really am excited to see where you end up working.... I noticed Rachel has her own line coming out on QVC-I hope you have a big part in it!

ok I admit...in the beginning your complaining got to me, But what you did by letting Brad go to Paris speaks volumes of the kind of person you really are! You are a softy and Brad should have let you go instead. YOU really deserved to go and you should have gone! I am Team Taylor all the way :)Please Don't Quit seriously Rachel needs you! Love ya, JK

Taylor, I think you made a big mistake in letting Brad go to
Paris instead of speaking up for yourself. You've been there
much longer than he has and you've earned the right to go.
The fact that Rachel didn't act like a boss in automatically saying that if only one of you could go it obviously would be
you, I think was very insulting to you. You've got the talent, you need to also show you can be assertive. I love the show and
hope Rachel was smart enough to keep you from leaving.

@Susie,
That style of Ray Bans is called the Wayfarer. You can also find cheaper versions in any mall.
It’s funny that they are all the rage again, I used to rock them (hard) when I was in high school in the 80’s. I had a pair of tortoise shell ones that I practically slept in. Ahhh.....memories.

I think you should have gone to Paris but I don't think Brad would have been able to handle the responsibilities back at home with as much aplomb as you.
You are good, there's no doubt about that. I hope you have a little more 'fun' in your life and show some enjoyment of the adventures the show is bringing. This 'project' is going to bring you your future.....and nobody wants to work with a sour puss.

Taylor! What strength you have! Rachel will always be a great fit with you- (or I should say- you'll always have the utmost respect for one another, whichever way your paths go)the company is her lifeblood and you are such a little worker :0) so talented too! can't wait to see what joy unfolds for your life. I wondered if you could share where you got the cross necklace from? It's so lovely! thanks so much if you see this blog!

Taylor, your the best. I agree with you regarding your opinion of the way Rachel handles the firms' employees. If it were me, you would have gone to Paris and hand your managing of the product line. Brad, could have waited and gone the next time. I am glad you talked with Rachel.

It was so hard watching the episode that aired last night... Start giving yourself some credit, you do an incredible job (note: not always with a smile) but the work gets done and looks like the client is happy....
Ohnestly, speak to Rachel it was obvious she recognizes her short comings ie. the decision as to who goes to Paris....Good Luck and please don't leave !!!

What about last year? Doesn't Paris happen every year? What about the year before? Wasn't Taylor with Rachel then? Couldn't she have gone another year? I don't get it. Isn't this big made-up drama?

@Susie,
That style is called "Wayfarer", of course Taylor's are by Ray Ban, but you can find cheaper versions in just about any mall.

I love you Taylor. And letting Brad go to Paris was really nice of you. But honestly i think you should have gone. You really deserve it more. Oh and please do not quit! I would die if you weren't on the next season. Seriously you are amazing and i think you add a lot to the team and everyone would be completely lost without you.

You are an amazing person - professionally and personally. What Brad did was wrong and that will bite him somewhere down the line. Stay good and true, it does pay off.

Taylor, I think you are fantastic. You are the reason I watch the show. I like the way you talk, your moods, interactions with Brad, etc. As far as I am concerned, you are the show. Your parents are great. I hope we get to see them again.

Taylor should have gone to Paris and Brad was very very selfish to go. He only cares about himself and not Taylor - he would never do the right thing like she does.
If Rachel doesn't step up, Taylor should really start thinking about starting her own company.
