The sought-after stylist has fashionable friends such as Marc Jacobs and Diane von Furstenberg, who she can call her mentors. However, when it comes to business advice, Rachel turns to her father Ron and husband Rodger Berman to point her in the right direction.
“Don’t try to tackle a problem on your own. Swallow your pride and turn to someone you trust with more experience to help you navigate a trying situation,” she explained to news.instyle.com when asked how she overcomes obstacles. “I tend to be more creative, so [my dad and Rodger's] pragmatic, rational outlook is always a huge help.”
When faced with a problem, the blonde fashionista doesn't dwell on the negative. Instead, she recommends approaching the predicament with an optimistic outlook and learning from mistakes.
“When something goes wrong, find a solution (or twenty) before you present the mistake to your boss or colleagues. Then, use the misstep as a chance to come out on top,” she added.
Rachel ensures she keeps a cool head when under pressure. Having become a respected name in the industry after years of hard work, the style expert has understood how to handle things in an appropriate manner.
“Resist, at all costs, the urge to panic,” she stated. “This is not easily taught and comes with experience, but if you can take control of a potential freak-out and just breathe, you will realise that no problem is as colossal as you think it is in the moment.”
Rachel had her big break dressing actress Jennifer Garner for the 2003 Emmy Awards. She makes sure to treat her clients as close friends to keep an ongoing relationship.
“I worked with Narciso Rodriguez to design a gorgeous halter-neck cream gown that blew everyone away, and Jennifer has been a dear friend and client ever since," Rachel smiled.Also read here:cheap bridesmaid dresses uk
