Now that Taylor’s gone, there’s an opening at Rachel Zoe Inc.
We assume Brad’s moved on to first assistant and according to this job listing on Linked in, they’re looking for an Advertising Sales and Business Development executive.
Specifically, they’d like someone to “evangelize The Zoe Report as being a leader in the fashion publication/newsletter space.” They want someone with at least three years experience in ad sales who already lives in LA and has an “entrepreneurial attitude - overcome any obstacle, creative, willing to be an evangelist for a new product.”
We’re not sure what’s up with consistent use of evangelical-related words, but we do think it’d be an amazing job. And while you won’t actually be styling, something’s bound to rub off, right?
Her loyal, often sullen, but always, always hard-working styling associate Taylor Jacobson is finally leaving Rachel Zoe Inc. We’ve kind of seen this coming for a while, but the season ender showed Taylor getting a new role (well, sort of) handling aspects of RZ’s growing merchandise business.
But we guess things didn’t get any better. In an email to contacts today, Taylor said: “After four amazing years at Rachel Zoe Corporation, I’m saddened and exhilarated at the same time to announce my departure. After much thought and consideration, I have decided to take the challenging leap to go off and style on my own.”
Who will make Brad and Rach stay focused now? Who will keep Rodg up to speed on Rachel’s vertigo issues? Who will handle all those returns? We hope there’s a season 3 so we can find out.
Whatever happens, we wish Taylor lots of luck in her solo styling career!
Never in life did I think I would be talking about Regis Philbin on Fashionista, but here I am. Don’t get me wrong, I love Reege big time, but you know what I mean.
That all changes today. The Halloween episode this morning featured this fairly hilarious spoof of The Rachel Zoe Project with Regis as Brad!! I loved it so much when he mentioned a dress for Annie. Kelly gets dual roles as Rachel and Taylor, but my second favorite was Gelman’s Rodger, at the ready to make Rachel some toast.
Georgia Peach: Just in case you don’t have as massive a crush on Georgia May Jagger as we do, which is kind of inconceivable, here’s a mini-portfolio from Vanity Fair. We like to say we knew her when. {VanityFair}
Herm-Asprey?: Maybe Hermès thought no one would notice if they bought Asprey’s massive New Bond Street store since the whole fashion world’s on a plane to Paris. But they did, and now word is they’re not just buying the store, but maybe the whole company. Interesting…{VogueUK}
Kane Control: From the second I left Heathrow, I was bombarded with Christopher Kane for Topshop. For every fifteen pieces, an original ape popped up, but for the most part with was crocodiles (alligators?) everywhere you looked, as captured here. {Streetpeeper}
I trekked to the Upper East Side for Oscar De La Renta’s show yesterday, because really where else could he have it?
Pre-show, Oscar mingled through the front row which held Vanity Fair’s Graydon Carter, Anna (and almost the whole Vogue masthead), Aerin Lauder and Zac Posen while I finally met Rachel Zoe’s Brad, who scolded me for forgetting my pants.
When the lights dimmed I landed in my seat and watched the collection, which can best be described as decadent fashion dessert, parade by on the elevated runway. Caroline, Iris, Karlie, Sasha, Arlenis and co. wore classically beautiful dresses made of lace, sequins, feathers, brocade and any other lush fabric you can think of. The man’s got you covered for a handful of occasions: an African safari, an English tea party, a Spanish funeral - whatever event calls for a floor length gown and maybe even a lace veil.
Most of us probably won’t end up at that occasion, but if you do, you’ll be the prettiest one there.
photo from modelinia!Last night, at 8, I ran out of Julie Haus’ Kate Lanphear-styled show and into the madness that was Fashion’s Night Out.
The streets of Soho were packed with people who weren’t just shopping, but had properly decked themselves out for the Vogue sponsored occasion. From top to toe they rocked Balmain-shouldered blazers and chunky jewels with booties and their official Fashion’s Night Out tees.
I swung into Intermix, pre-Rihanna & Millers, where it was so packed that even though I wanted a grey Kain tank, I couldn’t make my way to the register. Outside I found Keegan Singh staring into space, more overwhelmed than I at the growing crowds. Then Eddie Borgo found us and I gushed over Jen Kao’s show (on which they both worked, more to come later). We split and I (stupidly) hopped in a cab uptown to Barneys, a veritable frat house full of models, socialites, designers and the most fashion forward children I’ve ever seen - all of them laden with shopping bags.
The only thing more daunting that Fashion Week is turning out to be Fashion’s Night Out.
We’ve probably received fifteen to twenty emails per day since July telling us what’s up, who’s coming, where’s happening Thursday night and after much deliberation we’ve come up with a game plan.
Given there are really only two of us, splitting up’s the only way to cover the most ground without exhausting ourselves before the week actually even begins (and without spending all of our money before Christopher Kane hits Topshop).
I’ll run home for dinner after work which strategically puts me on Bleecker Street to start. I’ll kick off the night with Teen Vogue’s Bleecker Street party then swing by Intermix to glimpse the Miller sisters (and to actually buy a couple of tank tops I’ll need for the week) before swinging around the corner to Rag & Bone on Christopher Street where Jessica Stam’ll be at the cash register and Guinness will flow.
In other Bravo-related news, apparently there’s this show that Andy Cohen hosts on Thursday at midnight called Watch What Happens Live.
Considering the obscene amount of television that I watch and that a large chunk of it airs on Bravo, I’m rather embarrassed that I didn’t know about its existence until just now.
Here’s the lineup for tonight: the hilarious and adorable Brad from RZP, Lisa from Real Housewives of Atlanta, and Barney Frank. Yep, you read that right.
That rumor we spread about Mark Fast doing a line for Topshop? It's true. And it's in last week's Sunday Telegraph magazine which means it was true before we even said anything and we've had it in our lap since... Read More
Meet Blue Logan, if you haven't already. A couple of years ago a friend dragged the soft-spoken Brit to a show at London Fashion Week, Aquascutum he thinks, and he started to draw the models as they walked down the... Read More
