Law Roach discusses the designers Zendaya never wears

If you possibly can consider it, Zendaya, a reputation commonly related to words like “style” and phrases like “IT girl,” has never worn Chanel or Dior on the red carpet. This is because although God forgives, Law Roach could also be a distinct story, especially on the subject of traditionally designed homes. The stylist and image architect recently revealed the five legendary fashion houses that rejected his star client, Zendaya, early in her profession. Most of them have never been worn in public by the current A-lister.

In a recent episode of “Cutting room floorThe podcast, hosted by designer Recho Omondi, Roach, who has been working with Zendaya since he was 14, began talking about how Chanel, Saint Laurent, Dior, Gucci and Valentino rejected him when he prolonged his hand during the former Disney star’s rock climb.

“I’d write to them… and they might all say no. “Try again next year”; “she’s too green”; “She’s not on our calendar,” Roach recalled being told at the time, adding that she still had “all the bills.”

“When she got to American Vogue, she still wasn’t wearing any of those designers,” he said. – She still hasn’t done it.

For Zendaya first session for the cover of American Voguein 2017, she wore creations by Prada, Gigi Burris Millinery, Fausto Puglisi, Alexander McQueen, Dolce & Gabbana, Calvin Klein and Diane von Furstenberg.

Omondi was shocked and asked Roach for a proof. The stylist confirmed that years after being snubbed, Zendaya has only worn one among the “Big Five” designers on red carpets and on press tours. “The only time she wore Valentino was when she got the Valentino campaign,” he explained, later adding, “If you say no, it won’t be forever.”

Zendaya’s rise to fashion MVP status has been marked by standout looks from a few of the world’s most respected designers. Her style highlights include head-turning Met Gala looks from Tommy Hilfiger, Versace and John Galliano, and breathtakingly themed press tours in Mugler.

Roach doesn’t just work with top designers to develop custom couture looks; also sources archival and vintage clothes, often buying them outright. However, despite how far he and Zendaya have are available fashion, they still face concerns infrequently. Roach said that when he initially approached Mugler about purchasing the iconic robot suit for the “Dune” press stop, the brand felt the archival piece wasn’t fit. After Omondi noted how “cosmic” it was to bring Zendaya into the piece, Roach claimed that Zendaya desired to wear the suit first.

“When she sent it to me, it was a great idea,” he said. “I thought, ‘Are you sure?’ I called her and asked, “Are you serious?” I said, “Don’t play with me.”

During the 84-minute episode, Roach also discussed Zendaya’s latest cover for American Vogue, shot by Annie Leibovitz in Paris. As a black woman, Omondi was shocked that the duo went with Leibovitz, who has a controversial history of shooting black women.

“I would never trust Anna Leibovitz to take a photo of me,” Ormondi said, questioning the alternative, especially given the option of other notable, less divisive photographers.

Roach said he “didn’t pay attention” to the controversy surrounding Leibovitz’s previous photo shoots with black women (including Serena Williams and Simone Biles). He simply needed a photographer he felt would help create this iconic moment.

“Honestly, I asked for Annie,” he said. “I trusted her and I trusted myself too; I also trusted Zendaya and I also trusted the clothes I chose.”

“You just need me,” he added with amusing.
