Aspiring fashionistas and Zoe fans will take delight in this latest style guide from the fashion designer and host of Bravo TV's The Rachel Zoe Project. Zoe gives advice on how to be glamorous in fashion, grooming, home decor, entertaining, and travel. As in her previous best seller Rachel Zoe: A to Z, the author's homage to her style icons—among them Brigitte Bardot, Bianca Jagger, Marianne Faithfull, Ali MacGraw, Iman, and Jane Birkin—is coupled with suggestions on how to modernize their classic signature looks. Zoe clearly has a passion for vintage fashion, and lovers of vintage dress will discover ways to wear their favorite decade without appearing outdated. Those who prefer a contemporary style will learn how to be fashionable whether they are hosting a casual event or walking down a red carpet. The author also shares a few intimate details about her own life, such as her foray into the fashion world, her daily routine, and family rituals.
VERDICT If it's true that "a lipstick shade is as important as a shoe," then this glam guide is for you. Best suited for larger or suburban library collections.
