Rachel Zoe the Celebrity Stylist

rachelzoe.jpgBorderline emaciated celebrity stylist Rachel Zoe (the one on the right in the photo) has made headlines all over the world for her public break up with former client Nicole Richie. She used to dress Nicole and some of her other celebritiy clients including Lindsay Lohan, Mischa Barton and Keira Knightley. All of whom have been publically accused of having an eating disorder..hmm do I sense a trend here?

Rachel Zoe (apparently its pronounced zo) has been accused of smuggling bulk amounts of the dangerous  drug ‘Clenbuterol’  (used to treat respitory problems in horses) from Mexico and giving it to her celebrity clients who have been nicknamed ‘her mares’. It seems quite coincidental that all of the girls were dangerously thin around the time they were being dressed by Rachel Zoe.

She’s definitely a teeny size 0 and she’s been accused of ‘single-handedly bringing anorexia back into fashion’. When asked what the most brutal advice she has ever given to a client is, Zoe replied ‘Probably the most brutal is how to stand. How to work a dress. But I would never in a million years tell a client they had to lose weight,’ she adds. ‘Ever. And it’s not my place. I wouldn’t even tell my best friend that. There’s a size for everybody.’

Rachel Zoe defending herself against claims she is to blame for eating disorders ”I think an eating disorder is a very sad thing, a very serious thing – it kills people,’ she says emphatically, and quickly undercuts that by adding: ‘People don’t realise that I’ve worked with people who are size eight, and 10,’ (this, dear reader, is meant to stand for ‘extremely large’). ‘I don’t think it’s fair to say that I’m responsible because I’m a thin person, that because I’m influencing their style I influence what they eat. And then there was this crazy rumour that I was getting diet pills from Mexico and, like, distributing them. I was like, "OK, I’ve never even tried cocaine. I don’t do drugs – I’m too much of a control freak."

I’m not sure what Rachel Zoe’s diet and exercise regime is, I don’t think I really want to know. She’s very thin which is a clear sign she doesn’t get enough calories per day. I still think she is a fantastic stylist!

What do you think? Let’s talk!

I think there are a lot of people out their that deny their eating disorder, especially when they are in the public eye. I don’t see her ever admitting to encouraging others because she probably doesn’t have to SAY anything. I developed an eating disorder just from having a best friend that had one. It was so easy not to eat and follow her ways just by being around her.

I totally agree, she may not have said ‘lose weight’ but she may have implied it … it is hard to be around extremely thin women with out wondering what you would look like being the same size…eating disorders are deadly, and its about time people become more open about them – in order to raise awareness about the seriousness – because currently they seem v.glamourous, which is something they definatley are not ! – gr8 article tho…gr8 site :) xx

I think you mean ‘emaciated’ not ‘emancipated’.

I love her and although I think she’s thin she has a hectic lifestyle which probably has an impact on her weight (or lack of)
She’s amazing at what she does though.

Thats bullshit, Rachel Zoe clearly is a control freak and would never be under the influence and you never even see her drink! She clearly eats,again her show, with her husband and she works with big alot of “bigger” women in the fashion industry. Remember poeple, Rachel works with mostly high up fashion icons and fashion icons arent fat! They just arent, nor are the supermodels she works with. Those actresses were always skinny and everyone knows nicole lost weight the second she became besties with paris, same with lindsay lohan. Rachel just dresses poeple to make them look fab and does an amazing job and hopefully I will be just as good as her. Seriously do your reasearch on the actresses and model first, never blame a stylist for something so stupid
