La Roche has a great memory. The stylist said Wednesday that her longtime client Zendaya has yet to look for the “big five” fashion houses after they initially refused to dress her early in her career.
“I will write. [to] The big five… and they all would say no,” Roach, who has styled Zendaya since she was 14, said during an appearance on the podcast. He clarified that he was referring to Chanel, Saint Laurent, Dior, Gucci and Valentino, who repeatedly told him, “Try again next year. He’s too green. He’s not on our calendar.”
“I still have the receipts,” Roach said, adding that his initial reluctance meant he continued to walk away from them. “Until he arrived [the cover of] American [in 2017], she hadn’t worn any of these designers yet. He’s not there yet.”
Roach clarified that the star has donned some big five-pieces in editorial shoots, but has never appeared in public or on the red carpet.
“She’s still never worn Dior on the carpet. She’s still never worn Chanel on the carpet. She’s still never worn Gucci on the carpet — no press, no look, never. Never. , “They said. “The first time she wore Valentino in public was when she was signed.”
He continued, “When I said, ‘If you say no, it won’t be forever,’ that’s been true for a long time.”
Earlier this month, Roach revealed that she and the star are “fashion soul mates,” which is why they’re still working together a year after the celebrity announced her retirement from styling.
“We also refer to our relationship as ‘big ideas, small details,'” he said. “I come up with, ‘You have to wear 14 dresses, and you have to change, and you have to put on a wig and take it off so your hair falls out.’ And he’s like, ‘No, no, no, we’re going to wear two clothes, and I’m going to have the same hair.’
She continued, “It’s like, I write the script, and she rewrites. Not to say we don’t argue, because we do, and we fight over things. But I know my place. I I know she’s the boss, and she respects and loves me enough to let me be the boss sometimes.” , and you must have a wig. Go and take it off so your hair falls out!’ And he’s like, ‘No, no, no, we’re going to wear two clothes, and I’m going to have the same hair.’
On Monday, Zendaya was among the best dressed at the Met Gala.
