Sam McKnight MBE is a hairstylist renowned for creating the most iconic looks and his work with celebrities such as Kate Moss, Princess Diana and Lady Gaga. Early on in his career Sam was an independent session stylist working for high-profile editorial shoots and a firm favourite at Vogue. In the early ‘90s Sam was best known for creating Princess Diana’s iconic slicked back hairstyle and became her personal hair stylist for 7 years and he has, and continues, to work extensively with supermodels Christy Turlington, Kate Moss & Naomi Campbell. He now has his own range of luxury haircare products - Hair by Sam McKnight and last year he was awarded an MBE for services to the fashion and beauty industries.

In this episode Sam delves into the world of hair and the iconic styles and clients he has worked with over the years and where his drive comes from. We chat about the moment he decided to move to London in the ‘70s which started his whole career- and how the stars seemed to align for him getting his first job at Vogue. We also discuss the incredible sliding doors moment when he worked with Princess Diana on her Vogue shoot, and how a flippant decision in the moment led to one the most iconic haircuts and led Sam to experience adventures of a lifetime.
