Roach, who has dressed an impressive roster of notable figures including Ariana Grande, Céline Dion, and Zendaya, confirmed his partnership with Kardashian following her appearance at the Lucas Museum of Narrative Art, held in September. The event marked a significant moment in both their careers as Roach showcased Kardashian in a stunning vintage Yves Saint Laurent gown, designed by Tom Ford for the Fall/Winter 2004 collection.
Speaking to PEOPLE at the awards ceremony on 16 October, Roach shared insights into his experience working with Kardashian. “She is such a beautiful person and is nice and easy to work with,” he remarked. He went on to describe her as someone who possesses a clear vision, while also allowing for creative interpretation in the styling process. Roach acknowledged the contrasting perspectives that different stylists have towards Kardashian, emphasising the subjective nature of fashion and artistry.
His work with Kardashian has clearly been enjoyable, as he described their collaborative efforts as “really, really, really fun”. The synergy between the stylist and the subject appears to be a vital factor in creating distinctive looks that resonate within the fashion community.
At the Lucas Museum opening, Kardashian’s appearance caught widespread attention, highlighting Roach’s skill in merging vintage glamour with contemporary aesthetics. The choice of the Yves Saint Laurent dress was not an accident; it showcased both Kardashian’s personality and Roach’s vision as a stylist, further solidifying their partnership.
Reflecting on the Kardashian brand, Roach noted their acute understanding of pop culture. In a previous interview with Entertainment Tonight, he credited the family with their unique ability to anticipate trends and create products that resonate with the public. “I think they really understand pop culture and that’s what makes them successful,” he remarked, indicating a deep respect for their business acumen.
As Roach’s career flourishes, questions about his future styling projects inevitably arise. Despite the potential for a wishlist of celebrities he might wish to dress, Roach maintains that serendipity plays a significant role in his collaborations. “I really believe the universe puts people in my life and vice versa exactly at the moment they’re supposed to be,” he stated, suggesting a flexible approach to his craft.
There’s, however, one icon that Roach expresses a longing to have styled: the legendary musician Prince, who passed away in 2016. With the artistic flair exhibited in his current projects, one can only speculate how Roach would have interpreted Prince’s unique and flamboyant style.
As Law Roach continues to build his portfolio with high-profile clients like Kim Kardashian, the fashion world watches in anticipation of what the stylist will create next. His collaborative nature, keen understanding of fashion, and enjoyment in his work position him as a significant figure shaping contemporary style narratives. With each appearance, he not only reinforces his brand but also contributes to the evolution of fashion itself.
