Law Roach, a Stylist Whose Best Creation Is Himself
The New York Times
The self-described “image architect” was an M.V.P. of both New York Fashion Week and the Met Gala.
“Can you see how long it’s going to take me to get there,” the celebrity stylist Law Roach asked his publicist Sunday night, while seated in the bathroom at the Mark Hotel on New York’s Upper East Side, getting a touch-up in advance of the Tom Ford show.
Though it was now 7:42 p.m. and the show was scheduled for 8 p.m. across town at Lincoln Center’s David Koch Theater; though the Met Gala was less than 24 hours away and several of Mr. Roach’s clients had outfits still unfinished; though he had not even selected his own gala get-up, or even changed into the one he was about to wear to Mr. Ford’s show, Mr. Roach was calmly drinking peppermint tea.
“No caffeine, no cocaine,” he said. “Just adrenaline, love and passion.”
