Celebrity stylist Law Roach has made his mark on the fashion industry, outfitting Kerry Washington, Anya Taylor-Joy, Megan Thee Stallion, Celine Dion and Zendaya, to name a few.
On Tuesday, in a post to his official Instagram page, he surprised many by announcing his retirement and mentioning his “cup is empty.”
“Every person that trusted me with their image, I’m so grateful for you all. If this business was just about the clothes I would do it for the rest of my life but unfortunately it’s not! The politics, the lies and false narratives finally got me! You win…I’m out,” part of Roach’s caption read.
