Ever wondered what treasures lie within the closet of a celebrity stylist who’s dressed everyone from Zendaya to Megan Thee Stallion? Well, wonder no more! Law Roach, the mastermind behind some of the most iconic red carpet looks, recently gave us a rare peek into his personal fashion archive, and it’s nothing short of spectacular.
A Living Fashion Museum
Roach, who calls himself an “image architect,” invited Complex into his Los Angeles space, revealing a collection that’s less of a closet and more of a curated museum of fashion history. This isn’t just a collection of clothes; it’s a testament to his deep appreciation for design, craftsmanship, and the stories each piece tells.
He explained that he likes to keep these important pieces close, ready to ‘play in.’ And play he does! The archive is filled with runway history, incredibly rare finds, and deeply personal items that reflect his journey in the fashion world. It’s clear that Roach doesn’t just collect clothes; he curates moments.
Highlights from the Collection
Among the standout pieces is a sharp, futuristic Mugler jacket Roach recently acquired in Paris. He gushed about its design, calling it ‘so f—king good.’ Then, there’s a plush pink Alaïa coat, a piece of fashion history that holds personal significance. Roach revealed that Celine Dion wore the exact same coat for a Vogue Paris cover shoot, which was his very first cover.
Perhaps one of the most emotionally resonant pieces is a vintage Christian Dior item, once owned by the legendary André Leon Talley. Modeling the piece, Roach expressed, ‘This makes me want to cry,’ highlighting the profound connection he feels to fashion history and the icons who shaped it. He even mused that it might be perfect for a Met Gala moment.
