Nobody knows better than Law how to turn an outfit into a moment of fashion history. In a little over a decade, he’s gone from industry outsider to the most buzzed-about name in style, having been honored, for the second year in a row, with the Hollywood Reporter ’s prestigious Stylist of the Year award.
