I got chills imagining all the components snapping together perfectly. It was meant to be.

[@brownbear112]

For real! Idk why they said Zendaya wouldn’t be able to fit in it… She’s literally a size 2 or less LOL What a gorgeous woman inside and out ❤

[@nikkidimick947]

I would have been emotional as hell, I think lol! It had to feel so surreal!

[@holllyrhode]

Wish they filmed it

[@lundi44]

‘Mr Mugler’ - the respect Law has for the designer and his archive - and the fact they flew to Paris…TWICE…to meet face-to-face with the team. This is what I love - it’s not just the public event, it’s the work Law Roach and Zendaya do behind the scenes. Bravo!

[@vanessag5449]

only Zendaya could have given that outfit justice! she makes everything she wears look like art & Law is a mastermind.

[@user-hl8ol4nt3o]

LOL

[@Twtybird1]

I hope the Mugler robot suit fitting was recorded on video or film. I would pay to see it. It must have been a moment for everyone in the room.

[@julsgero]

She has the same measurements as a top model, she can easily fit haute couture.

[@nikkidimick947]

​@@julsgerobut this suit was specified to the model who originally wore it. Z having the EXACT same measurements is mindblowing and so incredibly rare. Every single part had been precisely fit to the original model. That means Z has the exact measurements that the og did. So. Incredibly. Rare.

[@ladybugleader2122]

I think her measurements might’ve been a little bit off, but they were able to make it work because Z was probably a bit smaller than the original model

[@2PiNkStEr]

I love that he gives Zendaya the credit for ideas instead of saying he only has the ideas

[@unethicalgoat]

i still get chills seeing zendaya in that suit it really was a moment

[@Niviac97]

Babe I need an hour long w Law at least😭 Is more of this interview coming?

I can hear the passion in his voice 😩

[@chiggie123]

My jaw was on the floor when I first saw the Mugler Robot Outfit ..she was so perfect for it 😩

[@Laserhairremoval271]

I’m screaming because sis really thought that law had it in the archives already. And the gag of it all is I wouldn’t even bat an eye if he did have it.

[@M4rt1nX]

I just cried hearing him retelling the story. Love you Law

[@Twtybird1]

“Don’t play with me.” Because Z knows Law will move heaven and earth to make it happen!

[@princessbuttercup5928]

I love how soft spoken he is, he has a lovely aura

[@MissShana19]

I could listen to him talk all day! love hearing behind the scenes stuff

[@elleMerci_bey]

Love the interviewer. Her questions and enthusiasm is so great.

[@melsyoutube]

i fell in love with mugler’s work as a child when beyoncé wore this and the rest of his pieces during IAWT. i’m so glad a whole new generation gets to marvel at his creativity now thanks to law and zendaya 🥹 he can rest in peace knowing his legacy will live on.

[@irichaustralia]

Beyoncé’s was an entirely different piece made specifically for her. The piece Zendaya wore was the ONE & ONLY ORIGINAL Mugler 1995 ARCHIVAL robot suit, worn only during the runway show.

[@melsyoutube]

correct, manfred himself created custom pieces and new versions of some archival looks for her. @user-wr1fi5ws8e

[@cownamedlary]

@@irichaustralia what about in the sweet dreams music video

[@lazolalala1576]

This interviewer is brilliant. I loved how she wasn’t afraid to go there and Law matched the energy 😍❤️ I loved both of them. They just gelled.

[@zombieloveserte]

He is so so smart, and creative, and I adore all of the beautiful moments he gives us!

[@Dhammilicious]

The robot look is EVERYTHING!

[@eugeniaevans4826]

Love that Law is not going to be pressured into agreeing with her. He has integrity!

[@gilbertovanwoeart242]

The mother of the archival pulls

[@clowicous]

This is the first interview I have ever seen of law, I decided to just check him out because zendaya is just a fashion icon right now and besides law being a genius at what he does and also very respectful the interviewer is very good at what she’s doing too like she knows what she’s talking about and getting into it, very fun to watch!

[@OrincyWhyteDesigns]

His artistry is inspiring! Thank you for sharing

[@nivarad]

That Mugler moment will go done in fashion history.

[@emilycalvert4195]

I love this! I'm not a huge fashion nerd but I would love to learn more. For people watching the videos on KZbin it might be really cool to see reference photos as you're discussing these topics. I'm not very well versed in it but I would love to learn more.

[@tasoniagray9744]

“I know.” - Law Roach, 2024

[@TheWannabmodel]

They eating you up on twitter bout the messy photographer question. However, the way Law answered it made me love him more. Chess not checkers in the fashion world, Words are careful but clear

[@christopherlopez624]

Law is so iconic!!! Love him!

[@DaiDaibaby]

Pause, I need to immediately go to patron, right now. I love this human and can listen to Law talk all day.

[@julissaemile1954]

This is literally such a beautiful moment wow

[@shilandatstewart]

amazing interview skills

[@Mrs_PinkMarie77]

I Love this interview ❤❤❤🎉🎉 made my day

[@manqobahd8740]

“I know…”

[@KryCaNe]

This part of the interview 👌🏾

[@tonysmith6166]

AMAZING AMAZING AMAZING

[@olggg9740]

When I saw it, I immediately thought about Metropolis movie by Fritz Lang

[@Adovian_]

That’s the original reference, brava

[@julsgero]

The easy thing is that Zendaya has de height, weight and complexion of a haute couture model. So she fits perfectly in all the runway's designs.

[@osimiri7111]

Um haute couture models can be any complection? 🙄 And should be any weight, ideally

[@julsgero]

@@osimiri7111 @osimiri7111 no. Only extremely thin, tall and proportional shape = zendaya. the word Should is a wish, not a reality. This fact doesn't throw away the recognition about her perfection choosing outfits. I'm referring to this point because is not only that she can easily wear haute couture, the dresses has been made near to her measurements. If you have Ariana measurements you need to do the entirely dress again for your figure and probably it won't be the same.

[@osimiri7111]

@@julsgero Where in my comment do you see height mentioned? Oh, right nowhere. What you said comes across as a racist, and implied only people with certain body types or skin tones should model. There’s haute couture fashion being made presently for diverse bodies and completions. You know you sound racist and disrespectful, so you just… tryna deflect from what I critiqued you on 😂 Reflect on your comment before you write a whole ass book ignoring what I actually commented on 🙄😂.

[@franss7554]

Omfg I’ve been waiting for all the behind the scenes of that Mugler Robot look. It was too iconic❤❤ 😭😭😭

[@michalcohenac]

What an interview. Riveting and iconic🎉

[@gmona2858]

when he said “he had it” I was like “WHERE IS YOUR ARCHIVE?”

[@IsaacNYC212]

Law and Zendaya's relationship was meant to be. The universe put them together. It's beautiful to witness.

[@Dollybouzi]

I’m getting chills

[@ithamarlowe6158]

Nothing like a designer and their client/model being in sync

[@amnesiaagirl9527]

[@Kay-ql8zr]

The algorithm tryna feed me other LR interviews and I’m NOT INTERESTED. I only wanna watch this over and over. I don’t even qualify as a fashion girlie. HOW LONG IS THIS INTERVIEW? I know it’s gonna cost some $$$ cuz it’s on patreon. But it may be worth it.

My hubby and I are headed to the southside for Mother's Day. Law makes me think of hope, joy and genius, then I think about all of the talent there...underutilized, overlooked and underrepresented people from the area that just needed an opportunity! He is amazing to listen to. Thanks for the interview.

[@Moonlight_rise369]

This explains everything why she looks extra skinny now, but she did look great , 10/10 fashion moment ✨

[@mysisterisafoodie]

And that’s why Zendaya IS that girl. That suit ain’t fitting nobody, like, ever again. A model, yeah sure, but a movie star? Unlikely.

[@jeanniemariealfred8652]

That is one handsome gay man.

[@MrBobbystyles]

If if it doesn’t stink garbage is still garbage …

[@nazarenomusica]

So basically they made her get skinnier 😭💀

[@jonaswunderkind4580]

The carbon footprint tho

[@Kayla-kr8tb]

You do not give Annie Leibowitz enough credit. You obviously don’t understand the context of those photos in her work. She’s not just a portrait photographer. As a victim of SA, the photo she took of Simone is so profound to me- and that’s just one aspect of this photo of a champion. That portrait tells the story of everything she’s accomplished that has made her heroic outside of the gymnasium.. the things that make her- who she is to us now and for ever. She’s struggled and won at life too. It’s an incredible portrait of a woman who had to smile as part of the way she represented all of us. Do you not like photography? Do you not think of her as an artist? I can tell you about the other photos you believe to be .. what? Some sort of scheme to make black women look ugly?

[@roter13]

Why does he get so much credit when he didn't actually make any of the clothing?

[@dr.100purrscent5]

You do not belong in this comment section. Because you do not understand the composition to takes to orchestrate a Fashion Style, Runway Look, Photo Shoot, Set Design or even what it may take to structure a Dress or Outfit. Law Roach pulls ALL of that together and the people who can make it happen. He leads the team and KNOWS what each player on the team needs to shine at their BEST to showcase the overall goal. Law is also very talented multiple ways as well, but he is the Maestro, The Image Architect.

Not gonna lie, this woman is quite annoying. Law shouldn’t be talking on this podcast.

[@kikim6116]

You missing out. We’re all loving this.

[@theodoregodson3337]

why don't you just post the whole episode on here, it's so annoying and stupid to only post snippets. It really feels like you just looking for viral clips about the conversations you have with your guests. You should focus on just sharing instead of looking for virality on topics and opinions all the time

[@electrictwilight]

Because she has a patreon she wants people to subscribe to. Why give it all here for free?

[@A8NTnoVidHeO]

This is a fantastic clip and if it whets your appetite for more then she's doing her job.

Its hard to listen to him talk. Even Mark Wahlberg took diction class.

No bb ur just stupid coz I can understand him just fine

Whaat? I love the way he speaks

[@HeatherHotcakes]

Interesting because I find his voice to be very soothing. To each his own.

you're trippin. I am praying he comes back for a longer one. Listening to him talk about fashion is fascinating and it's a treasure to hear from one of the modern masters of the craft.

[@jcc9549]

@@westworlds ...don't add flavor to my comment. I have an immense amount of respect for Law. He's brilliant. His skill is incomparable. As someone figures out how to communicate with the world, their way of speaking evolves. I appreciate your comment, but not your rage. I just watched him in "Recipe for Change: Redefining Fashion" and he spoke completely different. So I apologize for triggering you, and I can admit when I'm wrong. If he was playing to the host of this show, he spoke very different with this other roundtable of designers and stylists.
