So sad.  It has been announced that our beloved Mr. Brad Goreski will be parting ways with Rachel Zoe Inc. on October 1st.  In this week's issue, Goreski, 33, tells People Magazine “I love Rachel and she’s taught me everything I know”. “But there’s a point where either I do it now or I’ll never know what it’s like to spread my wings and soar.”  Rachel claims the split is amicable saying, "We couldn't stop hugging and we couldn't stop crying. He did this with such class and elegance. And I get it. I just told him, 'I'm here for you always'".

I am not sure how they plan to proceed with another season of The Rachel Zoe Project, but I think Goreski is doing this at a peak time in his career and will be extremely successful on his own.  I mean, not many stylist assistants get a front page & feature spread  in the NY Times Sunday Style section for their own personal style influence on menswear.  His favorite brand Dsquared²'s S/S 2011 show even seemed to resemble Mr. Goreski with bow ties, over-sized frame glasses, trenches, over the shoulder cardigans & shorts.  Werk it Brad!

The Rachel Zoe Project

A teaser of the season 3 of the Rachel Zoe Project is online & creating quite a buzz!!  If you are a die hard fan, as am I, you already know that Taylor has left the Zoe nest & spread her wings to style on her own (I hear she was behind Kate Beckinsale's fantastic couture gowns at Caanes).  Now, love or hate her (I love her), her style & one-liners gave the show a great balance from Rachel's other assistant, Brad. I truly adore him too, but I can't grasp the idea of the episodes being full of "I die" and his crazy antics.

When you watch the trailer, you will undoubtedly hear Rachel's straightforward & bitter "The last thing I want to hear is something good about Taylor" to Brad's mention of her styling for the Golden Globes.  OUCH!  It appears that the rumors of Taylor stealing from Rachel's fashion closet were confirmed by Zoe in a recent interview with WWD and she still has some hard feelings pent up.  Whatever the case may be, I find it a little dis-heartening that Zoe is so straight forward with her snyde remarks in front of the cameras. Kudos to Taylor for not joining in on this now unfortuantely public drama.
