"If you&amp;#x27;ve spent more than, oh, 30 seconds here at Slaves to Fashion, you know that our love for The Rachel Zoe Project is worthy of a Shakespeare sonnet, and that her former-assistant-turned-style-director Brad Goreski would be one of the first ways we&amp;#x27;d count how we love thee. But we bet you didn&amp;#x27;t know these three little tidbits about the modern dandy! With this weekend&amp;#x27;s publication of a New York Times profile on the Rachel Zoe employee, Brad&amp;#x27;s moment in the fashion spotlight has officially arrived. We&amp;#x27;ve always loved him for his dapper style, his cute and clever Tweets, and his ability to deflect Taylor&amp;#x27;s verbal barbs with graceful rolls of the eyes. But Ben Widdicombe&amp;#x27;s profile dug deeper into the man behind the Poindexter glasses and discovered a few things we never knew about him: 1. He wasn&amp;#x27;t always such a style stud. He may be inspiring a lust parade these days with shirtless photos taken by famed photog Terry Richardson, but years ago he never would have stripped down for the camera. &amp;quot;I was a little chubby, rosy-cheeked kid,&amp;amp;#8221; he told the paper. &amp;amp;#8220;When you grow up being overweight, sometimes it doesn&amp;amp;#8217;t leave you.&amp;amp;#8221; Sign up for our style newsletter and get the best of our fashion blog, delivered straight to your inbox! 2. He knows the difference between a &amp;quot;look&amp;quot; and a &amp;quot;lewk.&amp;quot; &amp;amp;#8220;A &amp;amp;#8216;lewk&amp;amp;#8217; is like, &amp;amp;#8216;I&amp;amp;#8217;m wearing a lewk today,&amp;amp;#8217; it&amp;amp;#8217;s something that everybody will notice. It&amp;amp;#8217;s like you&amp;amp;#8217;re out of the pages of a magazine, that&amp;amp;#8217;s a lewk,&amp;quot; Brad explains to the Times. &amp;amp;#8220;&amp;amp;#8216;Werk&amp;amp;#8217; is a feeling, like you werk your lewk. Like, was it werking? Was it happening, was it going on? A mayjor lewk is, like, above and beyond actual major.&amp;amp;#8221; Right, then. 3. He&amp;#x27;s got groupies. We&amp;#x27;ve always known that imitation is the sincerest form of flattery, but Brad&amp;#x27;s finding it out through a flock of cute young guys who are all trying to steal his style. &amp;quot;&amp;#x27;This guy came up to take a picture with me at Lanvin, and he was wearing these black Oliver Peoples frames that I have,&amp;#x27; Brad says, &amp;#x27;a pair of black cropped pants, patent leather shoes, and the exact DSquared blazer that I have in my closet. He just said, &amp;quot;Thank you for providing me with style inspiration.&amp;#x27;&amp;quot; Check out the full article about Brad now over at The New York Times, then tell us...is he your favorite character on the show?
