The name Rachel Zoe goes hand in hand with the term fashion, as Zoe has been stylist to the stars for nearly twenty years.

Rachel, however, has grown far beyond the title stylist as her own fashion sense and creativity have elevated her to the position of style icon.

Oversized glasses, bags, sweaters and fur-vests all scream out R-Zoe.

Never formally trained in fashion, Rachel hit the ground running with her bohemian-inspired look, giving birth to the "boho-chic" style now copied by the Olsen twins, Vanessa Hudgens, Lindsay Lohan and more. 

While Rachel herself chooses to wear 70's inspired frocks, statement jewelry and thigh-high "tranny" heeled boots, her clients are always sleek and sophisticated in the gowns she chooses.

With a reality show, a line for QVC, the daily online Zoe Report and a fall and spring Rachel Zoe collection, Rachel's brand is onward growing.

As is the Rachel Zoe vocabulary. Rachel has coined terms like "I die," "I mean" and "bananas," all common reactions to great clothes in the world of fashion.

So what's next for the style queen?  Rachel's turning new baby boy Skyler into a fashion icon himself whose closet is equipped with Missoni sweaters and a Gucci bomber jacket.

Look out Suri Cruz...there's a new boy in town and his wardrobe is b-a-n-a-n-a-s.
