Quotes by Rachel Zoe
Rachel Zoe's insights on:
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.
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.
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.
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 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.
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.
