Rachel Zoe Talks Fall Fashion

Are you obsessed with Rachel Zoe too? I can't get enough of the girl! From her tv show, to pictures of her out and about, to her fashion newsletter....I am one HUGE fan.

A blogger over on OMG! Yahoo had the amazing opportunity to interview the fashion stylist for 20 minutes. Here are some snippets from the interview.

What is your favorite awards show to style celebs for and why?

Hmmm, that's hard. I don't know. I definitely get the adrenaline most from the Oscars, of course. Because I think that's sort of the pinnacle in America. I mean, that's it. You know? But at the same time, I kind of love the ... the sort of ... what's the word? I like the more casual, kind of lighthearted approach to the Globes. To be honest, I really love the Venice Film Festival and the Cannes Film Festival a lot. Because when you do something in Europe you can push the envelope that much more. I can be more over the top. [laughs]

Who haven't you styled that you would love to style?

I get asked that question a lot, and to be honest, there really isn't someone that I have my eye on. I think it's something where I would have loved to have styled many of the old Hollywood starlets. I think that would have been a dream come true. Jackie Kennedy, Sophia Loren ... I know Jackie Kennedy wasn't a movie star, but wow. I'd love to dress Michelle Obama because I'm obsessed with her.

How do you cultivate such strong ones with the biggest names in fashion?

I would say that it's 15 years of working at this. I didn't start a year ago. I think that there is a trust that comes after a very long period of working together. I think that the designers know that I'm extremely honest and upfront and if I don't think something is going to work, I will never string them along and say that it is going to work. And, I think that's really the key to any relationship ... with a designer, with a client, with a friend, whoever. I think at the end of the day if you're honest then they'll respect you more. Because if I had 10 designers making dresses and I promised them it was going to be worn, trust me, I would not have a relationship with them.

Are there any must have items for women this fall?

So many must haves. I'm all about sequins in every shape and form, leggings, jackets, tuxedo jackets, vests in every form. Lots of '80s ... sharp shoulders, biker jackets, biker boots, zippers, buckles, grommets, and huge jewelry.

I love her tips about fall fashion! I'm definitely in love with sequins this season as well. Bring back the bling! Lol. Read the rest of the interview here.

"i'm just as obsessed with her as you! love the show. i'm so sad it's ending.. i reminded me about how fashion is such a form of art and personal expression. the designer process from concept to sketch to completion is very intimate to him/her. I love that rachael can take these concepts to a particular personality so well :)"
