Roach told Vogue he will no longer be doing celebrity styling and addressed his relationship with Zendaya moving forward.
Such a high-profile departure from the styling industry doesn’t come as a surprise to marginalized folks,
who have repeatedly pointed out how toxic fashion can be for designers and creatives of color. And for Roach, that exaggerated pressure to succeed, both internally and externally, nearly broke him: “If you have never experienced being a child and going to bed hungry, you will never understand the reason why I work the way I work. I still wake up every morning with that gut-wrenching feeling that this can be over and I can go back to where I came from. And where I came from was nothing, you know? So that’s the reason why, in my own mind, I felt like it was okay to put myself on the back burner for everybody else. Because I feel I have to work harder and be better than everybody else.
