Is Rachel Zoe a Pox on Humanity?

Rachel Zoe was everywhere during Fashion Week, stockpiling gift bags at parties for V magazine, Dsquared2, and our very own soiree. But surely none was as important as her own kick-off for her new Bravo show The Rachel Zoe Project, held at the Gramercy Park Hotel. Hopes were high, as she canoodled with celebrity friends (her clients) in anticipation of the show's premiere tonight.

Well, the New York Times did their part in quelling the excitement with a review of that’s a bit on the scathing side, calling Zoe “a pox on humanity.” Zoe’s antics have been persecuted for years, and the NYT has no patience for spreading any more “dummy dust.” Chalk it up to bad timing, as any show about livin’ large tends to fall flat in our earthquaking economy.
