Law Roach

Known for styling such iconic stars as Zendaya, Kerry Washington, and Celine Dion, Law Roach has shaken up the fashion landscape. In his new book, “How to Build a Fashion Icon: Notes on Confidence from the World's Only Image Architect,” he emphasizes the most important part of style: confidence. His fashion career began in Chicago after he opened Deliciously Vintage, a used clothing store and Kanye West dropped in for a visit, putting Law Roach on the map as a celebrity stylist. From his appearances on TV’s “America’s Next Top Model,” to being one of the judges on Legendary, a reality competition series that explored the world of ballroom culture in NYC, he waxed effusively to E! about next year’s Met Gala’s theme, which will pay tribute Black men and their impact on fashion. “I am pleasantly surprised and honored that such a huge body are finally paying homage to the contribution that my people have made to fashion.” In March, the “Image Architect,” announced his retirement from styling celebs to his 1.6 million Instagram followers, but he says his styling relationship with Zendaya isn’t finished.
