Celebrity stylist Law Roach shocked the fashion world last March when he announced his sudden departure from the industry on Instagram. Known for his work with A-list clients like Zendaya, Celine Dion, and Anne Hathaway, Roach cited “politics, lies, and false narratives” as the reasons for his exit.
However, just when everyone thought Roach was done for good, he made a dramatic comeback. On May 6, he will be dressing Zendaya for the Met Gala, where he will also be in attendance. In addition, he will be a judge on a new E! network show called “OMG Fashun,” and has a how-to book and certification course in the works.
In a recent interview, Roach opened up about his decision to leave the industry, his plans for the future, and his unique approach to styling. He revealed that he struggled with his identity and the pressure to constantly prove himself, but ultimately found a new sense of purpose in his work.
Roach also discussed his close relationship with Zendaya, calling her his “fashion soul mate” and revealing their collaborative approach to styling. Despite his retirement announcement, Roach admitted that he is the “most unretired retired person,” and is now focused on projects that are on his own terms.
Looking ahead, Roach shared his ambitious goal of owning a fashion brand, with Emanuel Ungaro being at the top of his list. He believes that his unique perspective and experience in the industry will set him up for success as a designer and entrepreneur.
With his unexpected return to the fashion world, Law Roach is proving that sometimes a career pivot can lead to even greater opportunities. Stay tuned to see what he has in store next.
