A biography for Rachel Zoehasn’t been written yet.
“It's really unfair to working women in America who read celebrity news and think, 'Why can't I lose weight when I've had a baby?' Well, everyone you're reading about has money for a trainer and a chef. That doesn't make it realistic.”
“It's a constant challenge trying to find balance between styling, designing and being a mom.”
“All of my clients have athletic or curvy, healthy bodies.”
“My basics are black, white, or neutral, and I'll wear a ton of jewelry or carry a brightly colored bag.”
“Fall 2013 was inspired by the 1970s equestrian lifestyle. I wanted to incorporate the moody and romantic - intricate baroque detailing and classic menswear elements - with something tougher and edgier in a nod to London's rock n' roll underground.”
“I am definitely a perfectionist, and I do like things a certain way. But as I have got older, I would say that I am a little bit less of a control freak.”
“My dad is an unbelievable entrepreneur who balanced his life as a father and a president of two very successful companies.”
“I think, as a working mom, I have to dress myself differently now. I used to wear very kind of precious clothes. Now I wear more black.”
“Girls, to me, growing up were very, very petty and didn't want me to succeed and didn't want the best for me.”
“Hair is a huge part of who I am and what I obsess over - I've had long hair my entire life.”
“The thing that I really look for in people is enthusiasm and excitement and, not to sound really sappy, that fire in their eyes.”
“I always carry a Tom Ford lipstick and Tachta face blotters to get me through the day.”
“I'm not trying to set the world on fire; I just want to make really beautiful clothes that women want to wear, can afford, and can really see themselves in.”
“I think what you wear really does need to reflect what your own personal style is.”
“Sexiness should not be overt. Something shapeless that drapes across your hip, hangs off the shoulder; something that cowls in the front, drapes low in the back, that's sexy.”
“Something that's very painful for me is when people wear pants that are too short.”
“I'm a textbook definition of that perfectionist girl who has huge expectations of herself.”
“I will always think of myself as that girl that is 22 starting and really excited about everything and wanting to be amazing at everything. I always wanted to be the best stylist. That was it.”
“No one wants to stay in the tabloids. But it's actually not a terrible place to start.”
“I don't come from a family of slackers, but I do come from a family of doers.”
