How to Build a Fashion Icon

Notes on Confidence from the World's Only Image Architect

By: Law Roach

Narrated by: Law Roach

A GROUNDBREAKING GUIDE TO BECOMING YOUR ULTIMATE, CONFIDENT SELF, BY AWARD-WINNING CELEBRITY STYLIST AND THE WORLD'S ONLY IMAGE ARCHITECT, LAW ROACH

Law Roach is the mastermind behind looks that have broken the Internet time and again—from Zendaya at the Met Gala to Anya Taylor-Joy at the Golden Globes; from Lewis Hamilton’s iconic streetwear to Céline Dion’s style renaissance. Nobody knows better than Law how to turn an outfit into a moment of fashion history. In a little more than a decade, he’s gone from industry outsider to the most celebrated name in style, having been honored two consecutive years with the Hollywood Reporter’s prestigious Stylist of the Year award and receiving the Council of Fashion Designers of America’s inaugural Stylist Award in 2022.

Now, for the first time ever, Law shares the secrets of his approach. With How to Build a Fashion Icon, he takes listeners behind the scenes of his process and journey, revealing his tips, tricks, and most memorable styling moments to show listeners how to live their most iconic and fashionable lives. Part self-help guide, part manifesto, this book will guide listeners step by step through that process, and along the way Law will weave in personal anecdotes—from his childhood in the South Side of Chicago to the first time he styled Zendaya—with practical exercises to help listeners cultivate the most essential feature of iconic style: confidence.

“He loves and is very passionate about fashion … and finding something that exists already and creating a twist out of it. That’s his talent: He knows when it’s time to do something.”—Céline Dion, Vogue France

A message for everyone

I really enjoyed each chapter of this book. There was a lot of great insight from Law’s own experiences and he beautifully narrates it to feel like a conversation you’d have with your best friend. It felt personal in the sense that all the advice felt genuine in him wanting you to win and live a life of confidence. I really enjoyed the part during the manifesting section — the reference of being scared to walk on hot coals because our mind expects the pain. However we can rethink struggle and fear and instead anticipate something positive. In summary it’s all mental. There are many notes made that I will apply into my day to day life as an artist. This book isn’t just for the fashionistas. It’s for everyone who may need guidance or a reminder that you are that girl!

Phenomenal read

Thoroughly enjoyed this book. I kept taking notes. A great read on building confidence and owning how you show up in your life and the word.

New favorite book!

I’ve already listened to this book TWICE and about to restart for a 3rd time! Law Roach delivers such a powerful and compelling story backed with motivational and inspiring insights from his life in the fashion industry that anyone can apply! 10/10 recommend!⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️

Much more than a style book!!!

I have a new found appreciation for Law. This is not your typical fashion guide, it’s much more. It’s the heart of personal style, CONFIDENCE! I got so much more than step by step instructions on how to put clothes together but rather I feel like I got a friend who has convinced me that nothing that I want in life is out of my reach!

Excellent Motivational Book

I love Law, so I immediately purchased the audio book. Initially, I thought the book was about fashion, but I quickly learned, it was way more. It was a motivational self-help epic story of unapologetic veracity. This book is fantastic and I definitely recommend it.
