Rating: 3 for a memoir that teaches some powerful rules on self efficacy and confidence
My Thoughts:
If you are into fashion, you will of course know Law Roach and Zendaya. However, the best way to read the book is to listen to the audiobook and have Law Roach read his words. I started reading it because he was one of the new judges on Project Runway (when Heidi Klum also came back to host). Law is brutal but speaks slowly and clearly. He knows what he likes and what he does not like. His taste level and eye for fashion that suits a certain body type is trusted by many women of different sizes.
Learn about his travel up into the fashion world, going from faking it till he makes it, to being able to retire early.
From the Publisher:
Law Roach is the mastermind behind looks that have broken the Internet time and again—from Zendaya at the Met Gala to Anya Taylor-Joy at the Golden Globes, from Lewis Hamilton’s iconic streetwear to Céline Dion’s style renaissance. Nobody knows better than Law how to turn an outfit into a moment of fashion history.
In a little over a decade, he’s gone from industry outsider to the most celebrated name in style, having been honored two consecutive years with the Hollywood Reporter’s prestigious Stylist of the Year award and receiving the Council of Fashion Designers of America’s inaugural Stylist Award in 2022.
Now, for the first time ever, Law shares the secrets of his approach. With How to Build a Fashion Icon, he takes readers behind the scenes of his process and journey, revealing his tips, tricks, and most memorable styling moments to show readers how to live their most iconic and fashionable lives.
Part self-help guide, part manifesto, this book guides readers step-by-step through that process, and along the way, Law weaves in personal anecdotes—from his childhood in the Southside of Chicago to the first time he styled Zendaya—with practical exercises to help readers cultivate the most essential feature of iconic style: confidence.
