Rachel Zoe: Her Climb From $18,000 a Year to $10,000 a Job
Much has been made by many industry insiders (including me) of the exorbitant fees Hollywood's number one stylist, Rachel Zoe, charges for dressing A-list celebs for their red carpet appearances. Much has also been made of her strangely-smooth face on the cover of the new Hollywood Reporter — in which she is named said number one stylist of stars.
But what I found much more interesting than all that frippery is the very good article about her that accompanies this cover. Read the Rachel Zoe article here.
And for all of you on junior salaries, take heart from the fact that Rachel went from earning $18,000 a year as a junior fashion editor to (a mere hard-working, totally committed 15 years later) earning an estimated $10,000 PER JOB she does. And that's not including the $50,000 an episode she earns for The Rachel Zoe Project — on E! Seriously, now a gazillionaire. Although husband Roger says she will just spend more on vintage couture... Enjoy. It's a good read.
