Backstage With Sam McKnight

At the spring/summer 20/20 ready-to-wear shows, the hairstyles Sam McKnight created were recognized as conclusive trends. These included neon feather bangs beautifying Dries Van Noten and Christian Lacroix’s epic collaboration, the striking center part defining Virginie Viard’s Chanel debut and the slicked back tresses seen at Mary Katrantzou’s Athenian extravaganza. This is an abridged version of Bronwyn Cosgrave’s conversation with Sam McKnight which Japanese Vogue described as “a definitive profile of a master at work.”
