Celebrity stylist Law Roach on dressing Zendaya and 'faking it 'till you make it'
Even if you don't know Law Roach's face, you will have seen his work -- whether you've picked up a fashion magazine in recent years or populated your Instagram feed with A-listers. Think of Zendaya's 2015 Oscars outfit -- a delicate white satin Vivienne Westwood dress offset by a cascade of brunette dreadlocks, the response to which prompted a conversation on discrimination towards Black hair -- or the slate-gray, 20 foot-wide Giambattista Valli tulle dress Ariana Grande wore to the 2020 Grammys, or the vintage Bob Mackie wedding dress worn by Anya-Taylor Joy to the premiere of 'Emma' that same year. These enduring looks, to name just a few, are the work of Roach, the Chicago-born stylist who has found a knack for engineering fashion moments that cut through the noise of a typical red carpet.
