The stylist has worked with the "Challengers" actor since she was a teenager.
Stylist Law Roach, Zendaya’s longtime fashion collaborator, says he has all the receipts when it comes to how certain fashion houses have dealt with his client.
During a recent appearance on the podcast, “The Cutting Room Floor,” Roach said the “big five” fashion brands had refused to dress the “Challengers” actor for red carpet events earlier in her career.
“I would write Saint Laurent, Chanel, Gucci, Valentino, Dior, and they would all say, ‘No. Try again next year. She’s too green. She’s not on our calendar,’” he said on the podcast.
“I still have all the receipts,” he continued. “By the time she got to [the cover of] American Vogue, she still had never worn any of those designers. She still hasn’t.”
“She only wore Valentino when she got a Valentino campaign,” he added. (Zendaya was named the face of Valentino in 2020.)
