"Image architect" is the most fitting title for him. He has such an eye. He and Zendaya are the only thing I am genuinely excited about in pop culture!

[@NickButler83]

Absolutely! 💯

[@eightysevenf]

Wow he really isn’t just a stylist. He really re-architected the way we see Celine for sure, so fascinating to see how thoughtful that Vetement disruption was

[@weslyn1021]

I thought his interview with "The Cut" really highlighted that as well

[@ciganyweaverandherperiwink6293]

"Re-architected"?! 😄👍

[@SuPeRNinJaRed]

Celine who?? 2:30

[@humility0is0a0virtue]

"Celine Dion, fool" 🤣🤣🤣

[@rensol6806]

Ahahaha that got me as well! 😂😂😂😂

[@kuldoxy5637]

Exactly! I literally laughed out lot fr.😂

[@LeslieStinson]

I was going to write the same quote in the comments. But here you are! 😅

[@EM-fs8nb]

He’s really the only celebrity stylist I know of, his work is legendary. I hope he finds success wherever he goes in his career!

[@h3artands0uLL]

Him, Virgil Abloh, and Maeve are the only ones I know. Law is my fave though. RIP Virgil. He was legendary too with Off White

[@donnao4644]

​@@h3artands0uLL Unless im completely wrong, Virgil Abloh was a designer, creative director and so much more but definitely not a stylist, he created the pieces.

[@Womenballin]

“Rue is WAYYY different than KC” I died laughing 💀💀

[@jeffreyh9908]

he deserves so much more respect as a stylist and needs his own street collection then couture

[@Forsaken860]

I would definitely buy..

[@Queenmebonnie]

That's not how couture works

[@miguelangelpacheco8673]

That’s not how fashion design works 😏

[@Queenmebonnie]

@MiguelAngel Pacheco exactly..it's a big diffrent from being a designer and a stylist

[@LeoGuimasSchensky]

He helped Celine become a Fashion Queen and Celine helped him become a household name. Two of the greats!

[@jessdelagarza1037]

May he find peace and serenity in retirement from celebrity styling. The industry was brutal to him and he deserves all the rest and relaxation he can find.💕🥺

[@Jen-xm9bp]

and into the spotlight to show these brands how really wrong they did him lol. Eventually, in the future they not gonna forget to set up a seat for him then. He's upward from here on out now. GO LAW!

In an interview with the Cut, Roach explained that the industry's underlying racism and overt nepotism drove his decision: “I haven't been happy, honestly, in a really long time … I'm very grateful that I've been able to move and climb in this industry … but I can't say that I didn't do that without suffering.

[@evemodibedi9786]

Oh my goodness he is amazing,I wish I could spy on his brain 😂. All the love from Southern Africa.

[@skippershikrapski6583]

I have never taken note of a stylist before watching Zendaya's stunning and creative looks. Especially reaching back to pull forward moment-perfect vintage looks. You've made a pretty (happy) young woman a powerhouse.

[@grandthanks]

Law has reimagined what it is to be a celebrity stylist… HE is the moment ❤

[@lilachodan4941]

1:54 Omg I love it. Paying homage to her career on Disney

[@daniellereid7576]

That Cinderella dress is now iconic nobody can really come better than that hands down a dress from Disney that lighted up when the lights was off magic 🪄 💙🖤🥰

[@Kaia263]

I like him. He has nice energy, and I love how he can see how far he's come, and still be a bit shy too that's so cool...he will be fine.

[@RozWBrazel]

10:24 I approve of using Halloween as the barometer for iconic-ness

[@bottlesofchris]

A very special person. What he did with Celine is magical and indescribable

[@mannyferreiro4891]

Law Roach's so intuitive and thoughtful with his choices, he's a style architect and iconoclastic, I've never gotten a vibe like others who use their clients as just marketing coatracks, at the service of PR agencies, he researches and hustles through archives, building the look from the ground up. I also respect his no ego approach with the care for his clients, he caters to them right up to red carpet; when Zendaya's dress needed straightening up, he didn't wait for an assistance, he got down to work fixing, straightening, and styling it just so, right through the entrance, and every step of the way thereafter, beautiful to see. His collaboration with Zendaya should be an exhibit. He's fierce

[@celycute1]

I always love watching stylist break down looks… I love when fashion has meaning/ expression

He puts so much thought and effort into his work. I love Law! I can see why he retired, he puts so much into it and rather than run on empty and just throw something on his clients, he's taking his leave to pour into himself and re-energize. When he comes back and I know he will, he will be better than ever. Chicago love!

So real & refreshing…love you Law♥️

[@ceeceeb5075]

His take on meeting Celine Dion reminds me of a story a friend told me upon meeting her and her husband on vacation years ago. She was their taxi driver and they were by far, her favorite celebrity meeting. Both were cool and down to to earth.

[@samanthapatino2676]

[@cyberpunkdoll927]

Every look I’ve seen that I’ve LOVED in the past few years has been by Law, all the flowers 💐🫶🏼

[@joyceking8789]

I think he is iconic and in a lane by himself I don’t think anyone is on his level. His creativity and imagination is so universal or Galactic. You never can imagine what he’s gonna put together. When he dresses Zendaya, it is spectacular. She is truly a spectacle and he has put her on the map at the top or on the globe at the top and I just love it their relationship, but he is such a sweet person and a very nice person and I think that what Louis Vuitton did to him was terrible Zendaya know that she cannot be without him because he knows her too well knows her body so I don’t know who they thought was going to dress her, but Law Roach and Zendaya are Siamese, twins there is no separating them

[@lesaforbes6241]
