Rachel Zoe Quotations

Every other day there's something - I'm dealing drugs, I'm starving people. I have never done a drug in my life.

I love Fall Fashion Week because it means lots of layering, long sweaters and vintage coats.

I think people should look cute all the time.

I think that sexiness should be in the subtleties.

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.

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.

On one hand I am this weird androgynous tomboy where I'm strangely low maintenance and have a five-minute makeup regimen. On the other I'm obsessed with all things beauty, from skin care to makeup.

Hair is a huge part of who I am and what I obsess over - I've had long hair my entire life.

I believe fantasy and dreaming can be made a reality. You don't have to be rich. You don't have to be a VIP.

I'm a Virgo and I'm more - I don't want to say 'negative' - but I'm the girl who thinks no one's coming to my birthday party, no one's buying my clothes, no one's reading my book, no one's watching my show - that's just how I think.

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 think what you wear really does need to reflect what your own personal style is.

I would do fragrance. I'm a fragrance fanatic.

As great as it is, 'Vogue' won't change a designer's business. But if an unknown brand is worn by a certain person in a tabloid, it will be the biggest designer within a week.

I just fell into the job as a fashion editor at a teen magazine. I was there for two years, and I left there as a senior fashion editor at the age of 25.

When you look like you stepped out of a catalog, that's never good. People shouldn't succumb to trend, they should interpret trend.

I'm a textbook definition of that perfectionist girl who has huge expectations of herself.

I think in spring, we don't want to wear makeup, we don't want to wear a ton of clothes, we just want everything to be easier.

My basics are black, white, or neutral, and I'll wear a ton of jewelry or carry a brightly colored bag.

Girls, to me, growing up were very, very petty and didn't want me to succeed and didn't want the best for me.

I am a child of the '70s, so I love classic rock - Bob Dylan, The Rolling Stones, Led Zeppelin, Van Morrison, and I also love Coldplay.

I started styling people when I was just eight years old, without even knowing what a stylist was.

My dad is an unbelievable entrepreneur who balanced his life as a father and a president of two very successful companies.

I always say that I don't like it when people follow trends too much, just because it is on the runway. I think what you wear really does need to reflect what your own personal style is.

I don't think that people should wear dresses two sizes too small. I just think that sexiness is better left to the imagination. It's just more tasteful.

My first job, I worked at 'YM' and I had an extremely tough boss who made me cry every single day. But what I took away from that was how I would never be.

My home has to feel airy and bright with natural light. I don't switch on lamps until it is literally black outside.

Nicole showed up to meet me in an airport once wearing a sweatsuit, with a leopard-print neck pillow tied around her neck, an 'I Love L.A.' cap, and her hair in pigtails, ... I think she was doing it to torture me.

I have lost my short-term memory - I'm just getting blonder by the day.

We're obsessed with the way Kate looks - Wellington boots with shorts? Who else could get away with that?

I think, in spring, we don't want to wear makeup, we don't want to wear a ton of clothes, we just want everything to be easier.

I think they hired me because several of my clients are the people in the weeklies,

I'm someone that never likes to overpower the girls in hair and makeup.

People tell you everything changes when you have a kid, but what nobody says is you don't mind.

Something that's very painful for me is when people wear pants that are too short.

I try to compartmentalize as much as possible, and I have the most amazing team in the world. They really set up my time in a way that is completely efficient all the time.

It's a constant challenge trying to find balance between styling, designing and being a mom.

It's hard for me to take care of myself, let's put it that way. I am my last priority.

Their weight loss - I really think it was timing, ... It has nothing to do with me. I would never, ever, ever promote anorexia. It is a serious disease. They don't have eating disorders. It makes me extremely uncomfortable.

I don't believe in changing my style because something's a trend, ... People are mislead: They think because it's a trend, they should do it. And it's not going to work.

I do love being on television and in peoples' homes. I'm not an actor, so there is a connection that's real.

The constant in all the businesses I've become a part of is taking what I do and making it real for everyone. I believe fantasy and dreaming can be made a reality. You don't have to be rich. You don't have to be a VIP.

All of my clients have athletic or curvy, healthy bodies.

Everyone wants to be a stylist. If you know that's your calling, then you need to intern as much a humanly possible. You need to go to fashion school if you can.

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.

No one wants to stay in the tabloids. But it's actually not a terrible place to start.

If my client calls me and says, 'I'm going to a friend's premiere,' I'll say, 'Come over and let's do something cute.' And I won't bill them for that.

Every day I ask my husband, 'Is it possible to over kiss your child?' I literally think I kiss him 200 times in a day. It's not normal!

Truthfully, I've never seen myself as being too thin. Sometimes I'll look at photos and be like, 'Oh, that's not a good look.' But generally speaking, I'm not too thin.

We've had Audrey Hepburn, we've had Twiggy, we've had Veruschka, we've had Kate Moss. I'm trying to figure out why I am to blame for skinniness.

All those things they say about a baby changing your perspective - it does!

As far as I can remember, every dime I ever had went to something extravagant. I would rather spend more, buy fewer items and have them forever.

Celebrities are just like us and like any of your friends. I love working with people.

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.

I wear things that kind of can look good for extended periods of time - fabrics that don't wrinkle, things that don't stain very easily.

Just throw me in my coffin now with these earrings on.

Wanna know what heaven is ? Feeling the sun shine on you... In Paris

You can't get dressed without good hair.

I would wear a turban to Whole Foods.

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 would say that I definitely play a different role with my style; I like to mix it up a bit according to wherever I am. I dress differently in New York, L.A., Paris and London.

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.

What happens style wise behind closed doors, in your home, shouldn't be incidental. Home isn't just where you stow your things or sack out for the night. It should be your private escape.

I couldn't love fashion more, like I don't think it's possible to love fashion more. I will say, since I've had my son ... he has surpassed that love

The worst thing you could ever get is people who think they know everything.

You don't have to be famous to live out your own red carpet moment.

I always carry a Tom Ford lipstick and Tachta face blotters to get me through the day.

I don't deal in pretentious kids' parties.

I don't come from a family of slackers, but I do come from a family of doers.

I keep saying I'm going to cut back on styling, but it's hard to give up.

You have to interpret what's hot to make it work on yourself. If tweed suits are in, but you're not a suit kind of girl, wear the jacket with jeans and a pair of Converses.

I'm not a tough boss in that I don't raise my voice, I don't freak out, and I don't have a temper most of the time.

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.

I've always been obsessed with style and glamor and if I want anyone to get anything out of my book, it's how we can all have them in our lives.

I see BOLD accessories as a woman's armor.

In my mind, being overdressed is not a bad thing at all. What's the worst case scenario? That you are the best-dressed person in the room? Who cares!

Style is what one creates....glamou r is a state of mind.

Accessories are everything. To me, they're more important than the clothes.

You want to look great under your clothes and obviously without clothes.

I think every woman should have leopard, but not every woman will wear leopard. You have to have courage to wear leopard.

I know some people say that high fashion should not be worn at synagogue. I, on the other hand, think that it is of the utmost importance that the Goldbergs from down the street see you in the new Chanel Fall 2010 Yom Kippur line.

I did not have a van, or wear Birkenstocks and tie-dyes.

Picking your favourite look is like picking your favourite child! I get so emotionally attached to each one.

Style is a way to say who you are without having to speak.

Packing is basically: If you're going on a weekend, then just take what you're really going to wear. And how many times are you going to leave the room? If that makes any sense. Like if you're going to sleep, read, and sit by a fire - chunky knit sweaters, leggings, comfortable boots. But if you're going on like a party weekend, then bring your favorite pieces and make sure you'll wear them.

It's better to have fewer things of quality than too much expendable junk.

Here's my rule about shoes, buy them.
