Taylor Jacobson

Rachel Zoe's reality TV days are officially over. Let's reminisce over the past five tumultuous years.

The Clothes: It's no surprise that the Herve women is sexy and confident when she wears a frock, it's just how she chooses to execute it. This season

As much as we loved Brad's cute little bowties and Jeremiah's cute little tuchus lighting up our lives every week on The Rachel Zoe Project, things just weren't quite the same following the untimely and unpleasant departure of Rachel's first on-screen assistant, Taylor Jacobson. Even though she often came off as being a bit (to put it nicely) short, she certainly started out the series with arguably more stylist cred and experience than either of her successors. And everyone knows how frustrating it can be explaining the job you've been doing expertly for a while to a total newbie (well, sort of newbie...we love you Brad!). But after several years away from an ever present camera crew, Taylor's getting back into the reality tv game with a new series premiering soon on Oxygen called LA Style.

Yesterday, while waiting to interview one of the vampire celebs at DKNY, we spotted former Rachel Zoe assistant Taylor Jacobson for the first time this week. She was looking way less disgruntled than she did in those early seasons of The Rachel Zoe Project and graciously chatted with us for a minute about her new reality show, which was filming there. She didn't say much other than the new show "shows a younger generation of stylists who do different variations of work like music videos, editorial, red carpet generic commercials" and she's looking forward to J. Mendel and Michael Kors. Later, we realized: Three celebrity stylists, who at one point all worked together, had a falling out, and now have their own reality shows, are all at New York Fashion Week right now.

Having worked for Rachel Zoe seems to be a blessing and a curse. A curse, I suppose, because staffers never leave on good terms, but more of a blessing because the exposure they get working for Zoe and being on her reality show leads to their own reality shows. Brad Goreski's show, It's a Brad Brad World, is already up and running on Bravo (and we're loving it), and now OG Zoe styling associate Taylor Jacobson is getting her own show on Oxygen. It's true she had a stint as a judge on Oxygen's "fantasy hair design competition series," Hair Battle Spectacular, but it was announced back in October (um, yeah, we just never noticed until now) that she's got top billing on a new Oxygen show called LA Style set to air sometime this year.
