Since Image Architect Law Roach officially announced his retirement from styling in early 2023, fans and fashion industry insiders alike have been eager to follow his next moves. While he still works closely with Zendaya on her iconic red carpet looks, Roach has branched out to reach maximum impact, touring to promote his book, “How to Build a Fashion Icon“; speaking about his expertise on panels; and partnering with Kent Belden on School, which is an online educational platform for aspiring fashion stylists that aims to democratize training for the next generation, without the need for a formal four-year degree.

Roach, 46, also collaborated with Pepsi on a limited-edition capsule collection that’s reflective of ’70s roller skating culture. Pepsi x Law Roach is inspired by the Wild Cherry flavor specifically, and includes baby tees, a slick bomber jacket, derby socks, and track shorts. “I’m sure you’ve seen me teasing the hat on social media,” he tells PS, noting his two favorite pieces are the white denim jumpsuit and retro trucker hat.

“Partnering with Pepsi felt like a no-brainer, especially as we kick off a new cultural wave with this collection . . . We brought that sweet, juicy essence to life through bold colors and edgy pieces,” he shares. “I think we all have a thirst for a bit of nostalgia. Fashion is cyclical, and part of what makes it so magical is that we get to see fresh takes on classic styles and silhouettes that we’ve seen for decades.” Roach maintains that he doesn’t conform to trends, but rather gravitates toward things that make him “feel something” – this line included.

Given his busy schedule, it’s no surprise that his biggest form of self-care is sleeping. “I am always traveling, so when I finally get a day off, I use it to rest and reset,” he says.

Roach also details his five everyday must haves ahead. But just in case you’re dying to know what one item he always has on set when he’s dressing Zendaya (who isn’t?) – well, that’d be double sided tape. Scroll for more of where that came from, including his go-to spirit, his favorite meal, and his off-duty wardrobe staple, which he suspects will come as a big surprise.
