Law Roach love
Just finished watching the Ziwe interview, and it really endeared me to him. If you’re struggling with law a lot this season, maybe watch it!
I def don’t agree with every one of his takes and opinions on looks (esp the intense Joseph McRae hate(although some of the critiques are warranted)), but I still really do like him. He’s not a moral paragon. There are also a lot of fair criticisms about him including how he dresses non sample sized women and that he dresses Mrs. Bezos. Regardless, he is so funny and has great taste. He also knows his fashion history (hence why he loved Aaron). I appreciate that he doesn’t just agree with his fellow judges. He really cares about the DESIGN of a garment. He’s often calling out things that other judges ignore (how Bryan’s dress would fit Hidi, the problems with Jude’s design).
Additionally, I think he is a good judge on a weak panel. Different judges on the show have always played different roles or added different areas of expertise, and I think the weakness of the panel overall is causing a lot of friction. It’s all out of balance. Heidi and Nina are not showing up like they used to. There is no consistent designer on the panel which makes judging feel hollow. Some of the rotating and guest judges are great. Some add nothing (cough Tyra). There is no good counter balance to law so it makes it more grating.
