Oh no, she didn't!
There was a rather interesting article profiling Rachel Zoe in Sunday's New York Times Magazine. Though Lynn Hirschberg provided juicy -- and/or troubling -- insight into Zoe's life and how the starved stylist single-handedly conducts celebrity and tabloid fashion, the most controversial lines came from Miss Thang herself:
"Anna Wintour is one of my heroes, but they say that I’m more influential. As great as it is, Vogue won’t change a designer’s business. But if an unknown brand is worn by a certain person in a tabloid, it will be the biggest designer within a week."
I wonder what the Vogue editrix thought of that little quote. Unfortunately, Zoe's ability to churn out teeny-weeny, bug-eyed, bejeweled starlets in her image (Hello, Nicole Richie! We're talking about you, Lohan!) does affect the celebrity fashion landscape and probably influences tweens to lose weight and spend gobs of money on designer jeans. But no one messes with Anna Wintour. No one.
