Step right up, ladies and gentlemen, for the saga of Zendaya and her fashion fairy godstylist, Law Roach! Picture it: a precocious 14-year-old Zendaya stepping into the glitzy world of fashion, armed with dreams bigger than her stilettos and a stylist determined to make her shine brighter than a disco ball.
Law, the sultan of style, had grand plans. He whipped out his quill and parchment, ready to summon the fashion gods – Saint Laurent, Chanel, Gucci, Valentino, and Dior – surely they’d be chomping at the bit to dress this budding fashionista, right? Wrong-o! The response? A resounding ‘nope’ echoed through the hallowed halls of haute couture. “Try again next year,” they said. “She’s too green,” they scoffed. “Not on our calendar,” they huffed. But Law, bless his soul, he kept those rejection letters like trophies. You know, for motivational purposes.
Fast forward to Zendaya’s ascent to American Vogue, the Holy Grail of fashion, and what do we find? She’s still rocking anything but those snooty designers who gave her the cold shoulder. Law spills the tea, clarifying that while Zendaya might have donned some of their duds for glossy magazine spreads, they’ve yet to grace her red carpet escapades.
But lo and behold! There shines a glimmer of hope in the fashion abyss – Valentino, brave souls that they are, decided to take a chance on our girl. They inked her for a campaign in 2020, and voila! Zendaya strutted her stuff in Valentino threads like she owned the place. Take that, naysayers!
So, what’s the moral of this fabulous fable? When Law Roach says, “If you say no, it’ll be a no forever,” you better believe it, honey! And as for those other fashion bigwigs who turned up their noses at Zendaya? They’re still banned from her red carpet kingdom, never to bask in her sartorial splendor. It’s like Cinderella, but with way more sequins and sass.
