“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.

taylor left about a year ago and was branching out on her own-so where is she??? I loved Brad on the show but not just taylor-even brad and rachel seem to never have any energy-they are always either just standing, sitting or being driven somewhere I don’t understand all of the “exhaustion” talk- and for Brad to begin on his own-well yikes he will get a wakeup call for sure on hustling new clients etc and the money needed to get started- and then trying to collect his fees from these celebrities that are notoriously cheap and want everything for free-but its always good to try.. now again, how’s tay tay doing? lol

Maybe Rachel shouldn’t have been so quick to fire her new associate (Allison? Alyssa?) who got sick during the Oscar buildup. It’s always good to have people ready when you need the. Who would go to work for Rachel, knowing that she demands you be at her beck and call and are replacable if you get sick? Oh, that’s right, anyone who wants their 15 minutes of fame. Brad, the clock is ticking now…
