Rachel Zoe

I've been reading about Rachel Zoe everywhere. For those of you who don't know her, she's apparently THE stylist of the moment in Hollywood. Says Nicole Richie, Lindsay Lohan and Mischa Barton, Rachel Zoe's 'girls', as she calls her clients. She's responsible for Nicole Richie's transformation from shabby to shabby chic. I admit, I love Nicole's fashion sense now. Lindsay's is okay, though still a bit too artificial and plastic for me. Mischa's, errr, I'll decide when her hits outdo her misses.

Some (obviously bitter) critics are saying that Rachel has created mini clones of herself through these 'girls'. And what are the ingredients needed for this formula? A lot of vintage and branded clothes, bohemian/artsy accessories, tanned (or preferrably bronzed) complexion, and a waif-like body to pull the whole look off.

Anyway, I LOVE her aesthetics (not particularly her style). The word 'wordly' comes to mind. As if it's traveled from the shores of Greece to the banks of India. Like Kate Moss cross breeding with Kimora Lee, or Princess Di joining forces with Prince. It's inspired by the world (much like Dash!).

The strange thing is, when I found pictures of the woman herself, she didn't look particularly stunning. I found her style to be too flashy. Plus, she looks so frail and saggy, and what's up with those wrinkles? She's 33 years old. Scary.
