Mr. Sam McKnight is a very in-demand hairstylist, with some thirty years of experience under his hairstyling belt, including countless Vogue covers, shaping royal coifs, and memorable runway moments. His latest efforts, such as the knitted hair earmuffs at the Chanel Métiérs D’Art Salzburg show and the embellished ponytails for Fendi Spring 2015, are still fresh in our minds.
Backstage, he rarely ever frowns—even among grumpy supermodels, finger-pointing photographers, and demanding beauty journalists, he is a bundle of happy energy. With Couture week in full swing, he still manages to share some of his tongue-in-cheek humor through his posts on Instagram.
Knitted biscuits and teacakes: that is one clever way of keeping the cravings at bay. Bravo, Mr. McKnight—very funny, indeed.
