Law Roach is well known for his sense of fashion, but more so for styling celebrities: Zendaya, Celine Dion, Priyanka Chopra, Anya Taylor Joy, Addison Rae, and more.
Everyone was shocked by the news he’d be retiring. Theories were running wild. Accusations of which celebrity led Law Roach to the breaking point in his career were being thrown left and right.
While Law Roach has stated he’s retiring from styling celebrities, he has no plans of retiring from fashion or cutting ties with the closest celebrities he’s worked for, as he stated in an interview he did with The Cut. He states his decision wasn’t sudden, but something he’s thought about over the years. This was due to the stressful work environment, working with multiple celebrities for one large event.
One of the biggest takeaways from this interview, aside from the stressful work environment he endured, is the way Law Roach was being treated by these celebrities’ teams. It was hard to believe the way these celebrity teams would mistreat him solely because he was able to have a strong relationship with his clients and could get past the gatekeepers. Personally, there’s no excuse for the way the team behind these celebrities acted towards Law Roach, but the celebrities themselves should take some level of accountability for allowing them to act that way.
At the end of the day, Law Roach isn’t leaving fashion, and it’s important to acknowledge the impact he’s had on the way we see fashion through changes.
