The newest project for celebrity stylist and the hautest-gal-around in the fashion world these days, Rachel Zoe, is the launching of her very own clothing line this Fall. The collection, initially pre-sold exclusively on Neiman Marcus online throughout July, has hit their contemporary department floors this month! Ranging from $175 to $700, the line will also be carried online at Shopbop.com and at stores such as Bergdorf Goodman, Intermix and in Houston at our town’s own Tootsies.
The line highlights her signature fur vests, delicate peasant dresses, and monochromatic pantsuits, and will also include those important wardrobe completers such as a fab shoe and handbag collection. She explains that the line is all about affordable luxury and versatility, and it features classic pieces that are “on trend, but not trendy.” Zoe describes her line as “uptown chic and downtown cool infused with Parisian elegance and London street style.” Zoe feels that the tuxedo pant in her debut collection should be a staple for any woman’s closet, stating, ”I’m really in tune with what makes a woman look her best and I can tell you that the silhouette of [my] tuxedo pant is something that elongates the leg–any leg.” The debut of her first-ever clothing line coincides with the fourth season of The Rachel Zoe Project on Bravo. Women’s Wear Daily reported that Zoe would love to include jewelry in her Fall 2012 line, so if you’re a fan of Rachel Zoe, keep your eyes peeled for whatever she has in store for you next!
