As a stylist, Zoe has worked with many famous people. Her clients have included Cameron Diaz, Kate Hudson, Anne Hathaway, and Jennifer Lawrence. Her work with actress Nicole Richie made the boho-chic style very popular.
Zoe also has her own lifestyle brand called The Zoe Report, which started as a newsletter in 2009. In 2011, she launched her own fashion brand. She also starred in a reality television show called The Rachel Zoe Project from 2008 to 2013.

Early Life and School
Rachel Zoe Rosenzweig was born in New York City. Her parents, Leslie and Ron Rosenzweig, were art collectors. She has a sister named Pamela. When she started her career, she decided to use her middle name, Zoe, as her professional last name.
Zoe grew up in Millburn, New Jersey, and went to Millburn High School. She then studied psychology and sociology at George Washington University. It was there that she met Rodger Berman, who would later become her husband. After college, she moved to New York City to start her career in fashion.
Career in Fashion
How She Started
Zoe's first job in the industry was at YM Magazine. After three years, she left to work for herself. At first, she focused on publicity, but soon she shifted her focus to fashion styling.
Around 2003, she began working with actress Jennifer Garner. A major moment in her career was when she styled Garner for the Academy Awards in 2004. Zoe said this was when she realized she loved creating glamorous looks for the red carpet.
The 'Boho-Chic' Trend
In 2005, Zoe started styling reality TV star Nicole Richie. This partnership brought Zoe a lot of media attention. She became famous for creating the "boho-chic" look, which was inspired by the 1970s. The style featured oversized jewelry, loose dresses, and a very slender look.
The style became very popular, but it also caused some debate. Some people in the media worried that the look promoted being overly thin. Zoe and Richie, who had been close friends, stopped working together in 2006 after a public disagreement. After this, the boho-chic trend became less popular in the media.

In 2009, Zoe started The Zoe Report, a daily email newsletter about fashion and beauty. It became very popular and grew into a full lifestyle brand. In 2019, The Zoe Report was bought by Bustle Digital Group.
In 2015, the brand launched Box of Style. This is a subscription service that sends a box of fashion and beauty items to customers four times a year.
