Celebrity stylist Law Roach has announced his retirement.
The โLegendaryโ judge โ who was the first-ever recipient of the Stylist Award at the 2022 CFDA Fashion Awards and is most famous for his work with Zendaya โ suggested he has grown tired of the โpolitics, lies and false narrativesโ of the industry so is ready to seek a new challenge.
Alongside an image of a sign reading โRetiredโ, he wrote on Instagram: โMy Cup is emptyโฆthank you to everyone whoโve supported me and my career over the years.
โEvery person that trusted me with their image, Iโm so grateful for you all. If this business was just about the clothes I would do it for the rest of my life but unfortunately itโs not! The politics, the lies and false narratives finally got me! You winโฆIโm out.โ
As well as his work with Zendaya, Law also won the Hollywood Reporterโs stylist of the year accolade in recognition of his work with the likes of Issa Rae, Kerry Washington and Priyanka Chopra-Jonas in 2021, and most recently dressed โScandalโ star Kerry, Hunter Schafer, Eve Jobs and Megan Thee Stallion for the Vanity Fair Oscars afterparty.
A number of fashion greats urged the stylist to reconsider.
Supermodel Naomi Campbell commented: โLaw I wonโt let you !!!! We donโt quit .. strived too hard.โ
Fellow catwalk beauty Iman wrote: โToo talented to retire.., Youโre a designer at heart [double heart emoji]โ
Designer Christian Siriano added: โAbsolutely not.โ
British Vogue editor Edward Enninful wrote: โYou will always have a home @britishvogue [heart emoji]โ
Actress Niecy Nash also offered some words of support.
She posted: โWe all come or go on our OWN terms. If youโre done because you want your next role, blessings to youโฆ. If youโre having a โmomentโ, keep your main character energy! Either way: you got this! (sic)โ
