The Rachel Zoe Project is one of my favourite TV shows. It seems to be more “real” than other fashion reality series, here you can see real celebrities from the fashion (and not only) world and their real designs. And of course Rachel Zoe herself is a real working stylist with the real clients including Cameron Diaz, Lindsay Lohan, Mischa Barton, Nicole Richie, Keira Knightley, Jennifer Garner, Kate Hudson, Kate Beckinsale, Eva Mendes, Anne Hathaway, Demi Moore and more.
The series premiered on September 9, 2008 on the Bravo television network. It portrays the life of Rachel Zoe being a stylist and a wife. She tries to find a balance between her personal and professional life while dealing with her assistants Taylor Jacobson and Brad Goreski. In general this series shows how exciting star stylist’s life is. But it also reveals the other side of this job – responsibility and stresses.
Team
Main roles after Rachel in this show play her two assistants – Taylor Jacobson and Brad Goreski.
Taylor was a wardrobe assistant on Gwen Stefani’s Harajuku Lovers Tour and a wardrobe assistant on several motion pictures including The Chronicles of Narnia: The Lion, the Witch and the Wardrobe and Havana Nights. Taylor’s extensive experience working with fashion and celebrity stylists brought her in touch with Rachel and the two have worked together since January 2005.
Brad had the opportunity to intern at Vogue and W magazines in New York during his summer breaks while studying Art History at the University of Southern California. Upon graduation, he was hired to be the West Coast assistant at Vogue – a dream come true. While at Vogue, Goreski followed Rachel Zoe’s career and developed an admiration for her styling work and aesthetic. He first met Zoe at a Chanel dinner, and spent the next year attempting to get closer to the “Zoe Camp.” Persistence paid off as Goreski has now been working for Zoe since January 2008.
The show has already sustained 2 seasons and recently Bravo announced they would be picking up a third season of the show that would cover the departure of Zoe’s longtime assistant Taylor Jacobson, while introducing her new assistant, Ashley Avignone.
In my opinion this show is very useful for those who wants to work in the fashion business. Free of artificial drama, it conveys the main rules for success – networking and relations.
