Ken Downing Styles the Rachel Zoe Collection

The Rachel Zoe Collection has been creating quite the frenzy at Neiman Marcus stores since its launch in early August. But the buzz really went “bananas” this past week when the celebrity-stylist-turned-fashion-designer went on a tour of Southern California Neiman Marcus stores to present her Fall 2011 collection. Not only did NM Fashion Director Ken Downing sit side-by-side with her, co-hosting the runway presentations at Fashion Island, Beverly Hills and Topanga, he also was hands-on backstage — styling and prepping the models for their big moments. Enjoy this candid footage of Ken styling looks from the Rachel Zoe Collection backstage at Fashion Island, in Newport Beach.
