Law Roach, best known for working with Zendaya, has announced that he will be retiring from the fashion world due to "politics and lies." Sharing an image of a text that read "retired," Law Roach posted a message that said:
“My Cup is empty….. thank you to everyone who’ve supported me and my career over the years. Every person that trusted me with their image, I’m so grateful for you all.”
Roach then hinted at some factors that led to his decision and said:
“If this business was just about clothes, I would do it for the rest of my life but unfortunately, it’s not! The politics, the lies and the false narratives finally got me! You win … I’m out”
