Rachel Zoe is gonna be Rachel Zoe, no matter what! She knows what she likes and she knows how to design the best and most persuasive versions of those things. Her vision is unwavering, though not rigid, and that is why her collections usually are always if not groundbreaking, great showcases of the evolution of singular ideas that define the Rachel Zoe aesthetic. Spring/Summer 2016 was no exception and cemented as it does in perpetuity, how Zoe sees herself and her woman. She's a mix of Ali McGraw and Bianca Jagger with a definite cupful of California Surfer girl thrown in. Yet, this girl is the apotheosis of this idea, not an amalgam, in the end, Rachel Zoe's woman, is Zoe herself, quintessential L.A. but with a NY state of mind.
Her Spring '16 collection was chock full of luscious and sexy offerings for the Modern It Girl, from flowing layers and bohemienne dresses to outright sexy yet, restrained and elegant glam. Zoe isn't pushing any envelopes, and really in the end, it would be definitely to her own enrichment as a designer to step away from her tried and true formulas and extend herself in more risky ways. As it lays, her output is predictable, yet it is so honed and laser focused that it's hard to find flaw with it. Hopefully, in the future, Zoe will step out of her comfort zone and do something totally outside herself, it may just pay off richer dividends in the end.
That's All.
Bye4Now!
