Law Roach challenges viewers to reinvent
Law Roach challenges viewers to rethink their approach to fashion by reinventing the clothes they already own to LA Times. He criticizes the current trend where people feel pressured to discard outfits after posting them on social media and encourages a different mindset: instead of getting rid of clothes, find new ways to wear and style them. Roach emphasizes the importance of embracing what you love, advising that if you like an item, you should buy it, but more importantly, if you love it, you should live in it.
As he puts it, "We’ve gotten into this culture where once you have something, you post it on social media, and then it has to be discarded—you can never wear it again. I challenge people to reinvent the clothes they already have and the way they've worn them. If you like it, buy it. If you love it, live in it."
