Rachel Zoe, St. Barts, January 2010Rachel Zoe, so-called celebrity stylist to the stars, is often referred to as "the architect of size 0 mania."
And just what does this celebrity stylist do? Well, Rachel Zoe charges her celebutart clients, like Lindsay Lohan, between $6,000 and $10,000 a day to assist them in choosing clothing, accessories and other frou-frou for red-carpet appearances, magazine shoots, blah blah blah. Because most of of her famous clients, like Lohan, sport stick-thin bodies, sunken fake-tan-orange faces and oversize sunglasses, they are referred to as "Zoebots."
Lindsay Lohan, Fall of 2009 (not photoshopped)Zoe has been slammed by other stylists and the media for continuing to fuel size-zero mania:
“That girl Rachel Zoe definitely has something to do with (the skinny trend).”
What is so alarming is that it's obvious Zoe has a serious eating disorder, which she denies. Zoe's body is certainly not one to be emulated by her clients, like Lohan, or young girls & women, especially those struggling with body issues.
Since Nicole Richie dumped Zoe as her stylist, I find it interesting that Richie has gained weight and is more curvy these days. At one time Richie looked just like Zoe:

Rachel Zoe, St. Barts, January 2010"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."
"I'm a textbook definition of that perfectionist girl who has huge expectations of herself...It's hard for me to take care of myself, let's put it that way. I am my last priority. What I get from people is, 'You need to rest, you need to take care of yourself, you need to...' But I'm like, 'I'm fine. I have to work now.' "
"It's not that I don't eat. I eat." Lunch? "Truth? I don't. I'm not a lady who lunches; it's a lull in the day." What's the daily diet? "When I'm on downtime, like on vacation with Rodger, I take care of myself. But when it's me working on my own, it's 7:00 p.m., and I've had coffee and a grapefruit."
“I’ve seen her [Rachel Zoe] eat — and she doesn’t. It’s the classic ‘living for clothes, dying for fashion’.” (quote by a journalist)
Rachel Zoe, Fall of 2009
“I’ve worked with Rachel all day on a shoot, and basically, she drank a giant latte and smoked a bunch of cigarettes.” (quote by a journalist)Rachel, you are shockingly thin. Please get help.
