Iconic Law Roach announced his retirement days ago and the fashion industry is crying, throwing up and sliding down the wall with a bottle of wine as a result. As if they’re not the reason he did what he did.  I’m not going to lie, I didn’t know who Law Roach was when I first heard of his retirement announcement. Well, more exactly I knew all the iconic outfits he’d created for various celebrities, but I did not realize that Law Roach was THE stylist and the brain behind some of the most iconic looks on red carpets. Of course, I had to do a deep dive into this fascinating fashion genius. So, if you’re still a little confused who Law is and what that buzz around him is about, look no further than this post. Law Roach is one of the best known, liked, and respected celebrity stylists in the industry. He coined the term “image architect” and seeing his creations makes you understand why he’s not just a “stylist”. He has the ability to transform celebrities from ‘cute, but meh’ into fashion icons and household names in the industry. Megan Thee Stallion, Ariana Grande, Anya Taylor Joy and, his probably most well-known client, Zendaya are just some of the people he has worked with. Let me be honest, if there was a look on the red carpet that was absolutely stunning and breathtaking, it was Law that had probably styled it. He’s also been a judge for America’s Next Topmodel and the show Legendary. Additionally, he was the first black stylist to be featured on the cover of Hollywood Reporter’s “most powerful stylists” issue. Now unfortunately, there has also been a lot of struggles Law has faced behind the scenes for years on end, reaching from overt nepotism to racism in the industry.This year it seemed to have reached the tip of the iceberg and he said “no more”!Many have been speculating that that “tip” was him being snubbed at the LV fashion show, where he did not have a seat in first row sitting next to his protegee, like always. Seeing that Zendaya is said to be LV’s new ambassador, it’s definitely weird. Now couple that with the fact that when Anya Taylor-Joy was the ambassador for Dior Law was pretty much ostracized from her styling team, another snub from a LVMH company has a bitter taste to it. And this is just the stuff we can see, who knows how bad it was further behind the scenes.BUT thankfully, Law Roach is not leaving is completely in the dust. He is retiring 100% yes, but that’s just for celebrity styling. He’ll stay in fashion as, he says, he’s finally ”free”. I cannot begrudge him for his decision, hell, discovering his decision gave me a bit of cold feet seeing as I want to get back into fashion and styling, welp. Nonetheless, Law has made a household name for himself and can be incredibly and absolutely proud of himself.I am very curious as to what adventures he’ll be getting into next and can’t wait to see what fabulousness he brings us next. He has been doing a number of interviews recently and it’s quite entertaining listening to him.Also (and this part is really just for the universe), I’d REALLY like to meet him one day. He seems to be very kind and totally hilarious. I hope that, just like me, you’re caught up babes. Enjoy some of his styles I love the most in the following.See you soon. Until the next post.xx Ama
