Rachel Zoe, Designer: Clothing Collection Set To Launch For Fall 2011

Stylist Rachel Zoe is set to launch a lifestyle brand for fall 2011 after signing a deal with LF USA, WWD reports. Her debut collection will include accessories, shoes and apparel.

"Subconsciously or consciously, my whole final goal--I don't want to say final because that sounds very like it's the end--but I would say my ultimate dream scenario was to be on the design side," Zoe said. She hasn't designed anything yet, but she dished, "You will definitely see me in the clothes. Like, you will absolutely see my trademark pieces. I'll definitely do faux furs and incredible leather jackets and great trousers. But I'm catering to a broader audience."

Zoe already has a line of jewelry and outerwear for QVC, which has done tremendously well. Doug Howe, QVC's executive vice president of strategic planning and merchandising, noted, "I think we can safely say that's she's sold over 100,000 units in a short time with relatively few appearances."

She is incredibly thin but she is one of the nicest people that I know in the fashion industry. I thought she was a snob but she's really nice, just reserved. But I love her fashion sense. I love her choice of fur and her obsession with vintage because lord knows I love me some vintage designs. I just wish she'd gain a little bit of weight.

I'd love to congratulate Rachel Zoe personally on her new fashion line, but she's so shockingly thin that I simply can't find her anywhere...

And she'll only make things in size -0.

I love fashion! I like to see all the extreme things I would never wear myself, or the fabulous things I can't afford. Fashion and the concept of styling someone is interesting to me, so I was glad to catch her show a few times. I'm going to go out on a limb and guess her reaction was something like: "That is OOC! Bananas!" and that she probably said she was going to "literally die" with excitement. Rachel has "literally died" about a million times on that show, but kudos for her success.

Body issues aside, the woman is a very hard worker and I do enjoy her style.

I like her. She's very cute. Saw a story on her in "In Style" magazine, and she seemed very warm and approachable. Hope her debut collection goes well.

Her face is gross and she has no style. They'll give a clothing deal to ANYONE these days? Wasnt she responsible for Nicole Richie being grossly annorexic??

Did Zoe pull food out of Nicole Richie's mouth?? I must have missed that.

I didnt say that, I simply asked, since it was alleged she was bad influence on Nicole as her fashion stylist. I mean, the woman looks like a raisin.
