Random Questions For…Rachel Zoe
Submitted by The Fashion Informer Blog
Despite her absence at the Halston show (she’s on the label’s advisory board), Rachel Zoe did find time between appointments to take her front row seat at the Fall 2008 presentations of Oscar de la Renta, Bill Blass, Diane von Furstenberg, Erin Fetherston, Marc by Marc Jacobs, Donna Karan, and Zac Posen.
The Fashion Informer nabbed a few minutes with Hollywood’s best-known stylist at the last event, where she dished on her musical taste, reading habits and fast-paced lifestyle.
What’s in current rotation on your iPod?
I don’t listen to an iPod. I listen to Satellite Radio - classic rock from the ‘70s. That’s all I listen to.
What are you reading right now?
Honestly, magazines. French Vogue and everything else right now. I never have time to read a real book, only magazines.
Are there any more left-of-center magazines that you like?
I love Another Magazine, Numero, Jalouse. If that’s left-of-center…I think that’s left-of-center.
If you found $15,000 in a brown paper bag, how would you spend it?
$15,000? Wow. Aside from charity? You want a material answer?
No, any answer you want, it doesn’t have to be a material answer.
I would probably give $5,000 to Orphan Aid Africa, $5,000 to Ovarian Cancer and $5,000 to Pediatric AIDS. How’s that?
Who do you think is the most underrated designer, living or dead?
Hmm. Underrated designer living or dead? [Long pause.] That’s tricky. I would say…Stavropolis. I own 10 amazing dresses from Stavropolis from the 70s/80s.
What’s your favorite getaway spot?
St. Barth’s. It’s paradise to me. It’s heaven. It’s where I feel the most relaxed and all I do is sleep.
How do you recover from fashion season?
I never recover. I don’t have another break til Christmas. There’s no recovery time in my life (laughs).
