Rachel Zoe (born September 1, 1971), born Rachel Zoe Rosenzweig, is an American professional fashion stylist notable for having worked with numerous high-profile female celebrities. In 2007, she released a style guidebook with Rose Apodaca titled Style A to Zoe: The Art of Fashion, Beauty, and Everything Glamour. In 2008, her new show The Rachel Zoe Project premiered on Bravo in the US.

Rachel Zoe is from Millburn, New Jersey, where she attended Millburn Middle School and High School. Zoe is a personal stylist who has worked with celebrities, fashion houses, beauty firms, advertising agencies, and magazine editors. She is also the star of a reality television series The Rachel Zoe Project. The series follows the day-to-day life of Zoe as she visits designers, clients and fashion shows.
Her first book, Style A to Zoe, was published in October 2007 by Grand Central Publishing. The stylebook gives tips and observations from Zoe, her designer friends and star clients, on home décor, travel, entertaining and dressing stylishly. It was on The New York Times Bestseller list.
Zoe collaborated with accessories maker Leiber on a line of luxury bags. She has also served as the face of Samsung's BlackJack national ad campaign. She is a consultant for Piperlime.com[1], Gap, Inc's shoe and handbag website. She graduated from George Washington University in 1993 and is married to venture capitalist and new-media entrepreneur, Rodger Berman.

Zoe has worked with Cameron Diaz, Lindsay Lohan, Mischa Barton, Nicole Richie, and Keira Knightley. Zoe's current client list includes Jennifer Garner, Kate Hudson, Debra Messing, Joy Bryant, Molly Sims and Anne Hathaway.In 2007, Zoe left her agency, Magnet, and signed to TSA (Todd Shemarya Agency).
Zoe's influence on her clients' weight has been questioned by the media; in response, Zoe said, "I don't think it's fair to say that I'm responsible because I'm a thin person, that because I'm influencing their style I'm influencing what they eat. There was this crazy rumour that I was getting diet pills from Mexico and distributing them. I was like, 'Okay, I've never even tried cocaine. I don't do drugs — I'm too much of a control freak.
Unlike other stylists, Zoe is known for appearing on the red carpet in gowns just as glamorous as those of her clients. Mario Lavandeira, editor of perezhilton.com, told W magazine, "What I've observed is that if stylists go on the red carpet, they'll make a conscious effort to really dress down in jeans, carrying pins. You don't want to outshine your clients. Rachel dresses as well as her clients, and she'll talk to reporters.”

According to People.com's "Style Watch" website, Rachel Zoe will launch a clothing line that is described as "vintage-inspired, [and] affordable."
While at DecadesTwo, where she donated personal items to benefit Ovarian Cancer National Alliance, Zoe said of her clothing line:
“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."
The details have not been released, but the line will include "clothes, jewelry, handbags and a fragrance."
In her book, Style A to Zoe, the celeb stylist claimed that "accessories are more important than clothes," so it's only right that her project--sold on QVC on a TBD date--will be her first foray into design. Zoe favors vintage-inspired baubles and chains, Hermes cuffs, and chunky, stand-out heels, therefore the line should follow suit.
