Fifty First (J) Dates: Synagogue Fashion, From Rachel Zoe

In honor of the end of Fashion Week and everyone’s favvvv High Holy day, Yom Kippur, we were able to score an interview on the most important aspect of dipping apples in honey and starving during services: fashion.

Our interviewee is none other than fantastic GW graduate, Rachel Rosenzweig, better known now as Rachel Zoe.* This, is, bananas.

FFJD: What are you seeing in the trends for High Holy days fashion this year?

RZ: I’m seeing a lot of nudes and pastels. Long, flowy pieces from Alexander Wang and Balenciaga. I know some people say that high fashion should not be worn at synagogue. I, on the other hand, think that it is of the utmost importance that the Goldbergs from down the street see you in the new Chanel Fall 2010 Yom Kippur line. Bananas. Like, when Oscar sent that gown down the runway last year for Cameron, I was like, this is OOC.

FFJD: What do you suggest for wearing to “break-fast”?

RZ: Something that says, I’m so hungry. Personally, when I break the fast, I go for something that will allow for a super yummy quarter of a scooped-out bagel. I love indulging sometimes. Some of my best clients think its Yom Kippur all the time. Or at least I tell them that.

FFJD: What are some fashion don’t s for synagogue?

RZ: I mean, obviously anything last season is an issue. I don’t care if your vintage Oscar looks nice with last seasons Louboutins. I am offended. I die. Also, you can’t wear flats. I mean, I don’t like own any flats. Tranny shoes are always welcome, as long as your skirt isn’t short and you’re respecting the congregation. I made a sick boot with Brian Atwood. It’s called the Rachel Zoe. It’s so major, and would go great with your synagogue wear. Obsessed.

FFJD: And fashion “do’s”?

RZ: My line for QVC has an awesome new faux rabbit fur coat that is so out of control. It says chic and understated. It think it would be the perfect thing to keep you warm during services and also is just so, so chic. Also, what says Day of Atonement like awesome rabbit?

FFJD: What will you be wearing for synagogue this Yom Kippur?

RZ: I wanted to channel the somber mood for the holiday. Brad will be sitting in for half of my time at synagogue. I am wearing head-to-toe Prabal Gurung. So. Major. I’m also going to be looking at synagogue for a new funeral ensemble for both Demi and Kate. I think they’ll be really inspired by some of the outfits.

FFJD: How are you going to celebrate the holiday?

RZ: Rog and I are going to take a break from everything and he’s going to sit and watch me BBM. I think it’ll be really special. I just wish I could enjoy myself more right now. I have a lot on my plate. Figuratively, not literally. Duh.

Ugh, but like I don’t know what Demi is wearing yet, and I’m really stressed out about it. You know, now that she like, practices Kabbalah. I think I need to go vintage shopping for her. Vintage and those rustic, wooden pews will just make her outfit pop.  I think I want her to wear something that really says, “I have bad Yom Kippur breath.” Bananas.

  • I have really learned new things from your blog post. Also a thing to I have recognized is that in most cases, FSBO sellers will reject you. Remember, they can prefer never to use your products and services. But if anyone maintain a stable, professional romance, offering support and keeping contact for around four to five weeks, you will usually manage to win a business interview. From there, a house listing follows. Thanks a lot [Reply]

  • You lost me, friend. I mean, I assume I get what youre expressing. I recognize what you are saying, but you just appear to have overlooked that you can find some other men and women inside the world who see this issue for what it genuinely is and may perhaps not agree with you. You may perhaps be turning away alot of folks who may have been lovers of your weblog.

  • I’m not sure exactly how I discovered your blog because I had been researching information on Real Estate in Altamonte Springs, FL, but anyway, I have had a pleasant time reading it, keep it up!

  • This may be the correct weblog for everyone who is hopes to discover this topic. You already know a great deal its practically difficult to argue together with you (not that I really would want…HaHa). You certainly put a new spin on a topic thats been discussed for several years. Wonderful stuff, just great!
