Rachel Zoe Named Hollywood's #1 Stylist

Wow!
2011 is off to an amazing start for Rachel Zoe.
On top of expecting her first child later this month, she’s been named the number one stylist to the stars by The Hollywood Reporter.
In the latest issue, which Zoe and her baby bump cover, the celebrity stylist and reality star admits she never wanted to be famous and doesn’t feel powerful.
Here are some HIGHlights from her interview:

On power:
“Oprah is power ├óΓé¼ΓÇ¥ she is everything. Martha, she can make a house out of a piece of paper. I have incredible respect for women like that because it├óΓé¼Γäós not easy. People fight you every step of the way ├óΓé¼ΓÇ¥ they pull you down as soon as you get up. And the reality is, it├óΓé¼Γäós harder for women. It├óΓé¼Γäós like if a girl has fooled around with a lot of guys, she├óΓé¼Γäós a slut. But if guys do it, they├óΓé¼Γäóre cool.”
On starting her career:
“I worked 20-something hours a day, seven days a week. I was completely obsessed with fashion and spent all my money flying to Paris to go to couture because that was the dream. I crashed shows, stood in line for Marc Jacobs. Designers were my heroes and my celebrities. It hasn├óΓé¼Γäót really worn off.
On styling:
“A stylist is a behind-the-scenes job. I├óΓé¼Γäóm never a star when I├óΓé¼Γäóm with a star ├óΓé¼ΓÇ¥ ever. Back then, I was very insecure about that. Even now, if you watch me on a red carpet, I├óΓé¼Γäóm physically uncomfortable. I can├óΓé¼Γäót strike a good pose to save my life. Fortunately and unfortunately, it├óΓé¼Γäós a part of brand-building. It├óΓé¼Γäós just part of my job.”
On John Galliano:
“It├óΓé¼Γäós a little insane and super-sad. Anti-Semitism, racism or any prejudice is not something I tolerate. I├óΓé¼Γäóve fired clients because they were anti-Semitic, or anti-everything, except what they were. ├óΓé¼┬ª I├óΓé¼Γäóve known John Galliano and his boyfriend for years. I don├óΓé¼Γäót know enough about it to make a clear statement, but if it├óΓé¼Γäós true, it├óΓé¼Γäós tragic.”
On her pregnancy:
“I can say in all honesty that being pregnant, working with the kind of people I work with and being this businesswoman has been a really wonderful, drama-free time in my life.”
