Earlier this month, Project Runway returned to our screen with some new and familiar faces. Most notably, Heidi Klum has returned as host and judge of the notable series.
Nina Garcia, editor-in-chief of Elle Magazine, is also a returning face.
Christian Siriano, Season 4 winner and acclaimed fashion designer, returns this season as the designers' mentor (replacing Tim Gunn).
Last, but certainly not least, to round out the panel of permanent judges is none other than celebrity stylist and image architect, Law Roach.
Most notably, Law Roach has worked with Celine Dion, Anya Taylor Joy, and, of course, Zendaya.
As a long-time fan of both the series AND of Law, I was excited to see what kind of energy he'd bring to the table and, let's just say, he BRINGS IT.
Law has never shied away from speaking his truth, and speak his truth he does!
I want to be Law Roach when I grow up.
In the Season 21 premiere, the designers were broken up into teams — House of (Disney) Villains and House of (Disney) Princesses. House of Villains took home the W this week, and it's so cool to have Law on the panel because he can speak not only to the now, but also to who is relevant.
Like, as a designer, I obviously want my clothes to be well received, but to have a celeb stylist want to put a famous person in my clothes? Chef's kiss.
Law also has an amazing eye for detail!
Nothing gets past Law!
"Hate is such a big word." "It's a short word. It's only four letters." LAW!!
Gooped and gagged.
"Nigerian auntie" took me out. AND THIS WAS ONE OF THE TOP LOOKS!
As a Nigerian woman / future Nigerian auntie, I see what Law meant and I have to say, I completely agree.
In a full circle moment, Law was brutal — but honest! — in regards to Jesus' look last week. The following week? Law gave credit where credit was due!
This goes to show that it's not personal, it's fashion! A look is a look is a look!
The challenge for Week 2 was to create a cohesive day-to-night athleisure collection to be produced by Calia, a women's luxury active wear line. Law was quick to hone in on one of the looks from the losing collection.
Law said, "there will be no cultural appropriation on my watch!"
I will start saying this:
Say it louder, Law!
"It's not called America's Next Top Best Friend."
The internet is also loving Law's addition to the franchise:
Needless to say, I will be tuning into Disney+ every week to watch Law in action.
