Living the Luxe Life

You may have seen the recent Rachel Zoe Project episode where Rachel goes to Paris for Fashion Week with her husband and with Brad, one of her dedicated assistants. I thought the show was actually pretty exciting; after all, there was just tons of footage of the city and even more of the fashion shows that she attended. Her visit to Coco Chanel’s apartment was also a real insider’s look at one of Paris’ most influential fashion designers.

Of course, Rachel’s real life did creep into the episode, this is reality TV after all, when one of her clients back in Los Angeles had a crisis of some sort that involved what clothing they would wear to a VIP event. Rachel and Brad had to pretty much stop what they were doing to tend to the problem.

Rachel is already being criticized on websites for her meltdown during this particular event; naysayers are mumbling that she’s in a $1,500 a night suite at the George V in a cushy bathrobe, surrounded by assistants, claiming she can’t breathe because she’s so stressed. Well, we thought it was a stressful problem she was enduring and we were feeling pretty bad for her at that moment and so we thought how cool it would have been if she had actually wandered down the Spa at the George V; we’ve found that always helps us in a crisis.
