Celine's stylist: Law Roach

[CelineFan1996]

Trying to understand tge Pepe hate. What did he do exactly? If it wasn't for him we would never have had those stunning dance sequences on tour. I don't know why she can't work with both? Is there some sort of professional rivalry?

I think mostly people were jealous that a commomer like him got so close to Céline.

A couple of pages back yep, there was a New York Times article where they followed him for the day and he said he’s styling her for new Vegas show 👏🏼

[smw]

A couple really great fashion posts on Celine's social media would be an easy way to to get big media attention for her new Vegas show.

 

They could posts photos of dressing room fittings, sneak peeks, etc.

 

I'm also hoping for teasers and sneak peeks of the actual show... like the band rehearsing, Celine rehearsing, programs getting printed, etc.

Oh that’s interesting!! I would’ve loved to have seen what they were doing. Well, I suppose we will soon enough. Either that or they may take those costumes and use for courage tour and then just do all new for Vegas. I suppose we will see soon enough! I just miss her terribly, I’m ready to see her singing again! 2 years is too long!!

So was.. Pepe his apprentice..? Who’s the person on his team who continued on?

I think it was Sydney.

I just love that Law recently did this (Steffi Graf for the cover of Vogue Germany): https://www.instagram.com/p/CeWhBJ2pa4X/?igshid=YmMyMTA2M2Y=

Stef is super private and rarely agrees to do stuff like this, but I guess it’s because the article was all about her foundation, which focuses on supporting children traumatized by conflict, so it was timely, given Ukraine.

Anyway, she lives in Summerlin so I wonder if Law visited with Céline while prepping for this.

“Perhaps Roach’s most poignant storytelling moment was with Celine Dion. The Canadian singer came to Roach weeks after her husband of 22 years, Rene Angelil, had died. “She was grieving,” he says. “She had just lost her husband. So the clothes became a part of that story.” Roach met Dion, who wanted him to style her for Couture Week in Paris in 2016. She’d heard about him through her kids – they were big Zendaya fans. “My first thought was utter disbelief,” he says of the call from Dion. “It was a dream I hadn’t dreamt yet.”

 

After a six-hour fitting, Roach came back with an idea: to mix Dion’s high-octane persona with a more laid-back street style energy, adding a dash of nostalgia for good measure. The result was memorable: Dion hit the streets of Paris in a neon-green Balenciaga dress, a kaleidoscopic Fendi coat, head-to-toe Celine and, best of all, an oversized Vetements hoodie emblazoned with the faces of Leonardo DiCaprio and Kate Winslet. It sent the internet into overdrive. Celine Dion – your mum’s favourite singer – was suddenly a style icon.

 

“Working with Celine changed my life and career,” says Roach. “I’ll be forever grateful to her for that. I firmly believe that the universe puts you in people’s lives exactly when you’re meant to be there. That’s what happened with us. There was no plan.”

From an interview with Law -

 

“Are there any career breakthrough moments that stand out to you?

 

I think 2017 with Celine Dion in Paris. The Vetements ‘Titanic’ sweatshirt was probably one of the first viral fashion moments on social media. I think that’s when my career changed. I was working with Ariana Grande and Zendaya so I had some pretty big clients, but on a global front, when I went to Paris the next season, it was like “Oh, we love you.” Celine Dion is a queen in every country. I think that’s when people started to also see me as a disruptor. I was doing things that didn’t make sense. If you had closed your eyes and said, “Celine Dion wears a Vetements hoodie,” you would have been like, “You sound stupid.””

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.

 

They definitely played around with her fashion in the “Imperfections” video.

I wonder if Pepe is still hired for Courage World Tour...

 

I'd bet he will be, with Dee and Syd!

I think it was Sydney.

 

Syd and Pepe continued as Celine's co-stylists when Law was called back to help his other clients.

 

I understood that Syd worked for Law and and came to be very close friends with Celine, Pepe, and Dee, eventually taking some of Law's stylist duties (a promotion for her, and likely a better rate for Celine than Law's). Pepe took the co-title of stylist when he quit dancing but wanted to continue touring with Celine and his friends, or so I've always understood. Although after these years I'm beginning to forget how exactly Celine and Pepe met...

Wasn’t it something to do with Céline seeing Pepe’s fashion drawings while on the 2017 tour, a tour for which he had been hired exclusively as a dancer for “Le ballet”? She then tried to help him with his passion and started taking him to fashion shows and stuff like that. That’s what I remember.

[ryba]

Well, that was quite a friendship. I wonder if or how it would have continued if the media wouldn’t get involved and make matters bad.

That did happen, but I remembered yesterday they first met when he was living in Vegas, dancing in Zumanity. I don't know if he was friends with a dancer from AND or TCWT and got backstage or what.

Are you implying that you think there is bad blood between Celine and Pepe due to the media?
