Rachel Zoe is "obsessed" with Russian fashion.
The celebrity stylist - who recently launched her own fashion line - says she is always looking at what females wear in the country although is yet to visit Russia herself.
She said: "I have this obsession with what women wear in Russia. The funny thing is that I don't know because I've never been there. But it's what I dream about."
Rachel - who has previously worked with the likes of Nicole Richie and Cameron Diaz - is to launch her own range of cold weather clothes and says it's something she's always wanted to do.
She told WWD: "I'm someone who looks at my brand holistically. I go to style my show and I'm like, 'I want hats. I want gloves. I want all these things. Okay, wait, I'm a designer now, so let's do it.'"
Since launching last year, Rachel's brand has done very well, surprising many in the industry.
Rick Darling, president of LF USA, said: "I think every brand has its own momentum. In the contemporary space, which is a bit newer to us as a company, I think this particular brand has taken off a lot quicker than we thought. It's really well ahead of where we thought we would be right now. In 2012, we'll be in 350 to 400 doors, including a pretty significant international presence."
