Rachel Zoe, Biography number 1

Rachel Zoe is one of the most influential women in the fashion industry of this

decade. With a hit television series " The Rachel Zoe Project", a new book that made

The New York Times best seller list, a huge celebrity clientele following, and a just

completed best selling clothing line on her resume, she is a fashion expert and the go to

person if you need to be dressed for a special event. Rachel Zoe is one of my role models

because she is a hard working, independent woman, who came from a small town in New

Jersey just like me. She took control of her life and followed her dreams, and made a

huge name for herself. I can relate to Rachel through her television show in so many

ways, and when I found out she was from New Jersey it made me love her even more.

Born on September 1, 1971 Rachel Zoe Rosenzweig, was raised in Millburn, New

Jersey and graduated from Millburn High School. She later studied sociology and

psychology at George Washington University where she met her husband Rodger

Berman. Although Zoe works with high-profile clients and has a very notable fashion

sense, she does not have any formal fashion training. Zoe went freelance, giving her the

opportunity to meet and work with some high-profile clients. Before working as a stylist,

Zoe worked at Gotham and YM magazines, she learned alot about the fashion industry

from these two jobs.

In 2008, the first season of her Bravo reality television series "The Rachel Zoe

Project" debuted. The show was a hit. She just got done filming her third season. In this

season she has her first baby boy with her husband/ business partner Rodger Berman. Her

book, The Art of Fashion, Beauty and Everything Glamour is the book that was co-

written by Rose Apodaca,
