Our next guest is one of the biggest names in
style.
We are talking about Law Roach.
We sure are, and we're going to chat with him
in a moment.
But first, let's take a look at his impact on
fashion.
From Zendaya's jaw-dropping robot suit at the Dune 2 premiere
to the headline making coat wrapped around Céline Dion during
her Grammy entrance
law, Roach doesn't just put together looks,
he creates unforgettable fashion moments.
He's dressed celebrities like Ariana Grande,
Mary J Blige and Kerry Washington.
But he's best known for his partnership with Zendaya,
who he started styling in 2011 when she was just
14 years old.
Law calls himself an image architect and in
2021 he was named The Hollywood
Reporter's top stylist of the year
and 20/22 he received the
CFTAS first ever Stylist award.
I am an example that anything and everything is possible
now. Law is a Co host on OMG Fashion is
new competition fashion series with Julia Fox.
After many years of getting stars ready for the spotlight
Law is creating his own runway.
We're wait a minute can we just can we just
sit in that for a second What does that feel
like washing over you?
All that work, I just,
it takes me back to just being a little boy
on the South Side of Chicago,
going to church with my grandma.
And and I think that's my first
introduction of fashion is, you know,
the black ladies in the black church with the hats
and the skirts.
And so it just takes me back to that and
just honestly,
just a feeling of gratitude and being grateful that I
can come from that and all the way here.
I mean, that is amazing.
Was your grandmother your first style inspiration?
Absolutely. Absolutely. I think what she just told me
and showed me, What's the art form of being a
woman?
Yeah. Well, it was on display at the Met last
night.
You dressed Sunday in two incredible looks.
Yeah. I mean, first of all,
just the concept of her having one look and then
blinkity blink.
Here she comes with another.
Tell us about what you guys were thinking.
So what we wanted to do was
celebrate the work of John Galliano.
So the first look, he's the creative director of Maisel
Margella and where he is present.
And the second look was actually
a piece from his Okatoshi at Givenchy when he was
there.
So it was just a celebration of
John's present and past. Oh,
beautiful is that, you know,
your relationship was in Daya
is incredible and you say you have grown up together.
How have you both helped each other?
I think we we just,
we made-up a pinky square,
a pinky square that I would do everything
that I could do in my power and in my
reach to help her grow.
And as she grows, she would bring me along with
her and she kept her promise and our loyalty together.
I think it's something that's really not seen so much
in this industry.
So yeah, we just made a pinky swear.
She was 14 and I was 16
babies. And we've been together ever since.
Yeah. Well, it was kind of scary,
I think on Instagram last year,
you announced that you were going to retire.
Yes. And then what happened?
You didn't. Thank God I did.
I did. Yeah. I went away.
I went away for seven months.
Yeah. I didn't do anything.
And I I went through an entire grieving process of,
you know, feeling guilty that I had let people down
who who believed in me and who looked up to
me and
being depressed. And it was an emotional roller coaster.
I I found out that
the majority who I was was what I did.
And you know, and I,
I went through that and then I came out of
it and sunshine and happiness and joy and and I
have the power to say no and yeah,
and just do the things that I wanna do.
And then what day it was waiting still,
even after all. Then Dale was calling every day.
Yeah. I was like, when are you coming back?
When you coming back? You.
But you know, I think I I made it clear
that I will always be.
I will always be there for her.
I mean, that's my sister.
You know what's amazing is that you took that time
for yourself and you listen to yourself at what was
the still at the highlight of your career.
You didn't think, Oh my God,
this is all going to go away.
You took your care of yourself instead of your
career, your image, your ego.
And I think we, I think we have to do
that.
We have to. Maybe not in such a dramatic way,
but we. I think it's important for us to step
back.
I think we're rewarded for being exhausted,
standing overworked and true, you know,
and it's it's if you're not just almost on your
deathbed that you didn't work hard enough.
So I wanted to you know I wanted to
kind of step away from that and and give my
time so
happy and you're back with a great.
We want to hear about this new show
come on now
fashion let's go tell us about so it's what Julia
Fox and we all know Julia Fox is known for
turning one man's treasure into trash.
So

light on those kids And.

time and still is.
