Law Roach discusses avoiding major fashion houses for Zendaya

Stylist Law Roach has addressed his history of avoiding major fashion houses for actress Zendaya, citing past rejections from brands often referred to as ‘The Big Five’. Roach noted that during the early stages of Zendaya’s career, prominent designers such as Chanel, Gucci, Valentino, Dior, and Saint Laurent frequently declined requests to dress her, often citing her lack of experience or scheduling conflicts.

While Roach previously embraced a level of pettiness regarding these rejections, he recently indicated a shift in perspective. Speaking on various podcasts, he mentioned that while being petty can have its place, he has worked to move past those grudges to focus on Zendaya’s evolution as a fashion icon. Despite the historical lack of collaboration with the largest luxury houses, Zendaya has maintained high-profile status through exclusive looks from brands like Versace, Trussardi, and John Galliano.
