If there was one lesson to be learned from the first three seasons of Bravo\u2019s fashion-reality hit The Rachel Zoe Project<\/em>, it was to expect the unexpected. No, the Versace gown would not turn up on time. Yes, they were \u201cliterally going to have to pull dresses out our asses\u201d. Every two minutes, it seemed like there was a new \u2013 how to put it? \u2013 oh yes, \u201cclusterfuck,\u201d in the world of celebrity styling. But perhaps the biggest surprise of all was how Brad Goreski \u2013 the defiantly upbeat, decidedly witty, nattily dressed young fashionista-on-the-make, who was hired as Zoe\u2019s fashion assistant in the first episode of season one \u2013 became the show\u2019s breakout star.<\/p>\n


\n\"\"<\/p>\n

Goreski\u2019s among those few characters you see on reality TV shows that you might want to hang out with as well as just watch. Goreski is generally adored by Bravo audiences. But since the third season aired, he\u2019s also become something of a style icon, and even a bit of a sex symbol. Now, while Zoe is preparing to have her first child and embark upon a fourth series of The Rachel Zoe Project<\/em>, Goreski\u2019s decided to go and do his own thing (his first red carpet client is Jessica Alba). Sadly, then, we\u2019ll have to mourn his absence on our television screens, but judging by his recent work for InStyle<\/em> and his brand new blog (bradgoreski.blogspot.com) it seems likely we\u2019re going to be seeing a lot more of this rising young stylist in the future.<\/p>\n

Has being a TV star let you discover an exhibitionist side to yourself?<\/strong>
\nUrm, maybe. I never really thought about that. I wore a T-shirt in the swimming pool until I was 18 years old. I was a chubby kid and I didn\u2019t really like showing my body. And I think, you know, part of the liberation came from Terry Richardson \u2013 the photos that Terry took of me last year. I had never been exposed in that way before. I know it was just shirtless but for me it was a big deal, because I\u2019m not really that guy. In a sense, now that that\u2019s out there it\u2019s helped me be a little loser. <\/p>\n

Do you think it\u2019s good that shows like The Rachel Zoe Project<\/em> expose the inner workings of the fashion industry, which is based upon exclusivity? <\/strong>
\nI think it\u2019s the new wave. I didn\u2019t go to the shows in Europe and I can sit at my desk, my dog on my lap, with a cup of tea, in my sweats, and watch a live stream of Burberry or Prada … The entire industry has embraced a more global attitude. I don\u2019t know if it\u2019s all that exclusive anymore because every shoot now comes with behind-the-scenes footage. I think the docudrama is so fascinating as it is, and was such fun to work for. Rachel has such a distinct vision that\u2019s made an impact on fashion and styling. So it\u2019s a nice thing to show people her world and the people who have surrounded her. <\/p>\n

So you\u2019re in New York at the moment. How is it being on your own? <\/strong>
\nIt\u2019s been great. I\u2019ve been really, really lucky to be doing so many great jobs. I\u2019m just like totally grateful that people have been wanting to work with me. I\u2019ve been working with Instyle <\/em>and Details and starting to build up my portfolio and, recently, I worked with Kate Spade on the New York Fashion Week presentation. The show definitely gave me a platform to do that. But people still want to see your work at the end of the day. <\/p>\n

What\u2019s been your best job since you\u2019ve gone solo?<\/strong>
\nOne of my favourite jobs so far was Jessica Alba at this year\u2019s Baftas; she wore an Atelier Versace gown. I also did a piece that\u2019s out right now featuring Liya Kebede for InStyle<\/em>, using the Jil Sander collection. <\/p>\n

Oh yeah I saw it on your new blog… I love that you\u2019ve just done one post but you\u2019ve still got 90 comments. <\/strong>
\nYeah, one of my blogger friends was like \u201cDo you know how major that is?\u201d and I was like \u201cOh really, cool.\u201d The next one will be a photoshoot of my friends that I did on the way home from a club with an iPhone at four o\u2019clock in the morning. <\/p>\n

Who would you love to style now? I\u2019m watching this J-LO video now by the way.<\/strong>
\nOh my God. Major. Are you gagging? She\u2019s working it, right? Who would I love to style … You won\u2019t be expecting this, but Juno Temple, I love. I\u2019m also a big fan of Emma Watson. I love the Brits. <\/p>\n

Are you going to be back on TV any time soon? <\/strong>
\nThat\u2019s TBC. Nothing right now. There\u2019s been interest, yeah, but there\u2019s already so much. I\u2019ve been working between New York and LA constantly. It\u2019s really important to me right now to be able to focus 100 per cent on my jobs and my clients. But who knows, big question mark. There\u2019s so many question marks in my life right now. The only thing that\u2019s absolutely constant in my life is the rack of clothes. In my hotel room, in my house, wherever it is, there\u2019s always lots of clothes, be it mine or be it women\u2019s. My closet is expanding.<\/p>\n
