Ahead ofhis partnership with SHEINas one of the judges for itsSHEIN X 100K Challengelast year — a competition series that gave emerging the designers the chance to win $100,000 and a spot in its Fall/Winter 2021 virtual showcase — Roach spoke with PEOPLE on his genius, including his self-affirmed “image architect” title.

“So it was just me thinking about the value that I thought that I would be able to add,” he said of the name which he curated at the beginning of his career and now owns. “Bringing in different components and building a real plan that started to feel like blueprints, to me. I was like, ‘Well, this is really similar to what an architect does for a structure. I’m just doing it for a person and their image.”

Roach, who’s all about gender-neutral silhouettes, also divulged in his universal philosophy to personal style: wearing what you love.

“Fashion has the ability to transport us and transform us into anything we want. It makes you feel good and beautiful. That’s such a great power and it’s so easily accessed,” he told PEOPLE.
