Summary
British hairdresser Sam McKnight MBE expands on his bombshell op-ed for Business of Fashion, “Hair and Makeup Artists Need a New Deal.” McKnight (with over 200 British Vogue covers to his name) pulls back the curtain on the business of beauty editorial and explains why artists often don’t get the credit, payment, or even protection that they’re owed. McKnight shares advice for all creatives from how to value yourself first to what a good agent looks like. He also opens up about working with icons like Karl Lagerfeld at Chanel, Lady Gaga, and Princess Diana.
