SAM MCKNIGHT

16:10, Monday 26 March, Mainstage

Sam McKnight has been instrumental in helping to create some of the most iconic images in popular culture, from Princess Diana’s short, slicked back style to Madonna’s Bedtime Stories album cover and Tilda Swinton channelling David Bowie. His work traces a vast array of movements and hairstyles, from nostalgic to androgynous, romantic to sexy, red to platinum, cataloguing the transformative nature of hair within the image.

Sam has worked on countless fashion editorial shoots (including over 190 Vogue covers), advertising campaigns and catwalk shows with supermodels Kate Moss, Linda Evangelista, Christy Turlington and Naomi Campbell, and with the designers Chanel and Vivienne Westwood.

In 2017 Sam was the subject of a hair exhibition at London’s Somerset House. Hair by Sam McKnight was the first exhibition to contextualise the wider cultural significance of hair and the role of the session stylist within fashion.
