“Bananas!” Celeb stylist Rachel Zoe and her bow-tie clad assistant Brad Goreski have sadly decided to go their separate ways, effective Oct. 1. “I love Rachel and she’s taught me everything I know,” Goreski, 33, tells PEOPLE exclusively. “But there’s a point where either I do it now or I’ll never know what it’s like to spread my wings and soar.” Breaking the news to Zoe about a month ago was nothing short of “major.” “We couldn’t stop hugging and we couldn’t stop crying,” she says. “He did this with such class and elegance. And I get it. I just told him, ‘I’m here for you always.’” Goreski is counting on that. “I hope she’ll continue to teach me more and more,” he says. And while the dynamic duo’s frenzied pace has been constant fodder for Bravo’s The Rachel Zoe Project, filling Goreski’s designer shoes will be no easy feat. “We have a relationship that’s not normal. I jump into bed with him and wake him up and we have these pow wows and he’s like, ‘Wow, I haven’t brushed my teeth,’” Zoe says. “I don’t want to hire somebody for the purpose of the show, we just got lucky. No one’s ever going to be Brad to me.” For more of Zoe and Goreski’s exclusive interview, pick up this week’s issue of PEOPLE on newsstands Oct. 1.

I totally thought her and Rodger were on the outs, that’s what happens when you quickly read and panic… Buh-nan-uh’s.

Ew. You people are brutal. Rachel is a good person with a good heart. She comes off as stubborn and difficult on the show but you know what, that’s how she made it as far as she did in this business. She is extremely talented. I would be honored to work for her. What her a Roger have obviously works for them. And FYI, for those of you who have watched the show, he is not exactly easy to get along with either.

And Kelly, im pretty sure you don’t know what you’re talking about. Did you ever even watch the show? Did you SEE the way Taylor treated Rachel? She was rude, disrespectful and had horrible work ethic.

You people need to stop pointing fingers.

Am I the only one who sees the “connection” between Brad and Rachel’s husband? WTH? Maybe she needs to really take a step back and examine her relationship with her “husband” before she starts shedding tears over losing Brad.

Did Brad even work on the show? I don’t see how he is spreading his wings. He couldn’t accomplish the job of a stylist while on the show.

Sorry to hear that, but I’m glad it was amicable!

My favorite part of the show is the fashion so I don’t really care who is being Rachel Zoe’s assistant as long as she’s still going to runway shows and dressing celebs…

Jen on

Agree w John – he’s taking his barely earned stylist status & running w it while ppl still know who he is.
