Sam McKnight Is Auctioning Off His Wardrobe

Legendary hairstylist and Vogue contributing beauty editor Sam McKnight has an extensive collection of wigs, countless styling products and innumerable grips, elastics and slides, but did you know he has a vast personal fashion archive, too?

Vivienne Westwood made made bespoke, eye-catching creations for him, and he bolstered his collection of tailoring with pieces designed by Jean-Paul Gaultier, Katherine Hamnett, Giorgio Armani, Tom Ford (who was then at the creative helm at Gucci) and Hedi Slimane (who was at Dior). “I was a happy fashion victim in the ’80s and ’90s and I loved it,” McKnight tells Vogue. “I am now a proud survivor.”
