Fashion Designer of the Month for June 2026

Bio

Fashion designer. Businesswoman. And an entrepreneur? American icon Rachel Zoe just loves surprising us! Youngest child of Ron and Leslie Rosenzweig, Rache Zoe was born on September 1, 1971. Born and raised in Millburn, New Jersey, the fashion designer recalled being surrounded by art and beauty all her life

Daughter of affluent figures within the art and creative industry, it was only natural that she would develop a love for fashion and beauty. After spending over 20 years as a celebrity stylist, Zoe soon grew frustrated with not being able to find specific items and fabrics for her clients. Wanting to correct this issue, Zoe then decided to make a change and soon went on to create her own line of fashion in 2011.

In 2006 alone, Zoe accumulated many awards, such as the Fashion Oracle Award and the Fashion Influencer Ace Award. And Zoe is not done yet influencing the industry of fashion design! Named Style Icon of the Year in 2026, Zoe has more than proved that she is just getting started!
