Celine's stylist: Law Roach

[stevo]

I’m sure it was hard for Law when it all suddenly ended when others came on the scene but he seems professional.

 

I hope he is back. I want the show to be ‘edgy’ as she would say.

[Shamrock_1982]

Law is coming back

Law is coming back

 

I said so on the previous page 💁🏻‍♂️☺️ I’m excited

[Shamrock_1982]

Oops…soz, I never went back to the previous page!

 

Proves Pepe has gone after all

[stevo]

Hopefully kicked to the kerb good and proper!

Proves Pepe has gone after all

 

Pepe confirmed it by his little unfollow/refollow stunt. If I remember correctly I believe you and I both guessed this would mean the return of Law. I think he’s better qualified for this job.

I imagine Pepe had to sign some documents regarding defamation. It is sad, though, A lot of people get close to the Dion team through professional reasons but then the world is angry when they want to move in a new direction (eg: her band, backup, etc). I would be much more pro cleaning out the team if that meant a change in direction, but the only major things we tend to see are in the nature of wardrobe.

Law is back! I'm so glad he's back. Céline and Law make masterpieces together. This is a very positive new 😍, I hope many surprises.

Good luck Pepe and bye!

[ehild]

I'm excited to see what they come up with!!

[joaofilho]

This is very good, but I believe he will only do this job, Law has a lot of clients, I don't think he will have time to accompany celine during her Courage World Tour

[flutefreak]

I'm excited to hear this!

[DionFanAlways]

Imagine if she put this flair into her music instead of wtf she’s wearing. I just don’t care what she has on. But, alas, I’m a simple girl.

 

Edit: I’ve said many times that I love the whole persona but I don’t go crazy for that one aspect.

As much as I am happy about this, I also worry that she spends more time and money worrying about what she will be wearing than what she will be singing.

 

I get it that casual fans have to expect the hits, but she she needs to either hire someone or spend more time and imagination on the odd rare song for the die hard, who will more than likely spend more money on tickets, merchandise and will more than likely return and do it all over again on a few occasions, more than the casual fan will!

100% also worry about that. Obviously I am someone who loves ‘the fashion’ and the game she plays with it (I know some people hate the Paris hotel daily fashion shows etc) but while the image is very important, and her ability to stay ‘trendy’ is something I’m sure lots of us want for her, I do wish there was some new tour director/manager/team who came in and really challenged her and her inner circle to do things differently, show-wise for Vegas.

 

For all we know, that might have happened. But unfortunately it’s probably safe to assume it hasn’t 🤷🏻‍♂️

I think we would all rather have a creative and ballsy setlist over any wardrobe creativeness, however I feel it will never be one or the other. Celine has always pushed the envelope more in fashion than music… and I don’t see that changing.

I much rather her stay in one outfit the entire show like she did in her European tour after Rene passed and give us a great setlist but sadly I think that one mini tour will be a one time thing.

[mirage]

I do wonder why she stopped working with Law in the first place.

Same goes for Pepe.

Though I always thought Pepe used her for his own popularity.

I felt that too. No problem if she wants Pepe as a friend, dance teacher/partner…. But give the fashion job to a professional.

That is not a fair statement to make. If anything, his involvement with her brought tons of attention her way and in the industry any news is news. How could anyone that touches the inner circle of an international superstar not be wide-eyed and soak in as much as they can? This man had is 15 minutes of fame. If he had talent, people would have seen. But as a dancer---they're a dime a dozen.

Same! As much as I love fashion, too, and I want her to have fun with it, I do also wish she had someone to tell her that, yes it's ok to keep certain key songs...play around and be daring with the setlist. General audiences will still like it.

[smw]

I’m thrilled Law & Celine are reuniting!

 

He was such a vital part of her making a huge popularity comeback & he helped reinvent Celine as a fashion icon.

 

This is wonderful news!

But Pepe was never her sole stylist. It was Sydney and him. Sydney worked with Law & stayed on when Law left (I believe because he got sick).

 

I've really never understood the hate for Pepe.

 

Anyway, Celine, no matter who the stylist is, will have final say of how she dresses. If it's Law, Sydney, Pepe. I don't really care. She'll look great regardless imo. And regardless the stylist there will also be bad looks every now & then lol. It's inevitable.

 

I do wish she would bring on more creative people to help her create her live shows or photoshoots w/ beautiful visuals & atmosphere, a better marketing team, etc but to think Celine is spending more time worrying about the fashion is wrong imo. The whole point of hiring a stylist is because they are the ones that spend their time picking & putting together outfits for her, calling designers, etc, all based off what she wants. They present choices to her & she picks them or asks them to change something. She's not spending that much time on this.

 

Wardrobe, visuals, lighting, etc are all important in live shows. And we heard her in the phone interview talk about all of these things.

 

Also, she has been doing things in terms of her music but unfortunately the general public isn't going to pay attention to a veteran artist as much as a new young artist. Especially when mainstream media doesn't care to promote veteran artists. Another point is that people are accustomed to Celine the singer, for years. Celine the fashion icon came as a big surprise to many and is still relatively new so it gets a lot of traction. If it gets her attention then that's great imo.

Was there hate for Pepe?

 

I just want to compare their work as stylists, that's all

[Shamrock_1982]

Omg the bloke was a dancer not a stylist!

[Chantemoi]

Omg the bloke was a dancer not a stylist!

 

He was a dancer, which is why she hired him; and he IS a fashion illustrator, which is why she hired him to be her stylist. She fell in love with the style of his creations.

 

Pepe performed in world class theater and dance productions around the world, and has been exposed to costume designers throughout his career. That makes him just as qualified as Manon or Mia, or even Annie, in my book. I mean, the job’s not too hard, especially with Céline’s line of credit!

 

Also, I am just curious: what specific qualifications you think someone needs to be a stylist…a Masters degree in design? 30 years in the industry? More Instagram followers?

Law is classic and professional. Celine was so happy here (back in 2017) and I love how he says she is his style icon/inspiration.

 

Also, 4 years on and he’s literally the most in-demand/influential stylist out there.

[Shamrock_1982]

He was a hanger on after he stopped dancing with her simple as.

[PuraVida]

As was mentioned above, she should take the daring approach to her concert and setlist as she does with her fashion.

 

From the 2011 - 2019 run, there weren't very many fashion moments in Vegas that I was a fan of. I liked her "Goldfinger" dress, the turquoise/jade green short dress she wore for Prince medley for a time, the blue MHWGO dress...that's about it as far as my memory goes.

[Chantemoi]

What I don't understand is why people --including her own team-- can't find a way to marry her two passions: singing and fashion. She shouldn't have to pick one or the other.

Now imagine if she made music videos like that! If Céline has any chance to go viral with her new music, specifically, it would require her team to capitalize on her fashion persona. Many, many singers change their looks for each new album/single (Lady Gaga, Madonna, Katy Perry, etc.). Personally, I don't think that's what Céline wants per se, nor what all fans would like, but they could certainly use her music videos as a chance to experiment with those avant garde fashions that have garnered her so much praise on the streetside fashion shows. They toyed with the idea in the"Imperfections" video, perfectly balancing the message of the song with black & white images of all the looks (so it doesn't distract from the lyrics), but I'd love to see fun, colourful videos that embrace how much fashion has helped Céline find her way through difficult times.

 

Now live concerts are another thing entirely, as are special appearances. I'm not saying she has to adopt those new looks throughout the entire promotion of a new album (or non-promotion in the case of Courage). Céline contains multitudes, and I think with the last album they tried to merge those personas, but did not fully commit. I really hope that with her future releases, they try to adapt their approach--not abandon it.

Thank you for the shout out It seems like the colorful and eye-candy fun stuff is only allowed in her ads with Loreal and Vogue fashion video. I still have hope they will combine all those amazing elements with her own music one day !

That's because the media and creative teams at these firms are way better than anything her team or Sony can come up with.
