Echoing the ‘blackout’ theme, Sam’s bespoke Vivienne Westwood wardrobe is presented in shades and textures of black throughout. For the opening look Sam appears on stage in a double duchesse trench coat which is removed to reveal a double-breasted cropped jacket with braided epaulettes and aiguillettes, worn with tailored sailor trousers, and beneath a shimmering wrestling singlet with ‘A&V’ embroidery. The look is complete with chauffeur gloves and seditionary inspired buckle boots, with a Stephen Jones sailor’s cap.
The second look sees Sam appear in a voluminous gown in layers of black tulle constructed on a corset and worn with shimmering cycling shorts. The look is paired with a Stephen Jones crown, spiral lace-up gloves in patent leather and heeled leather boots.
For the next sequence, Sam’s look changes gear to a classic Westwood draped sweatshirt and matching sweatpants with power mesh inserts, paired with black military boots.
Completing the quartet of custom looks is an ensemble in a cascade of black feathers, featuring a cropped waistcoat with exaggerated shoulder and skirt. Underneath, Sam wears a long corset in silk satin over a lace singlet with suspender detail and lace-up jockstrap. A Vivienne Westwood orb motif cane, lace opera gloves with appliqued nails, Gaia boots and Stephen Jones horn motif top hat complete the finale look.
A decade on from Sam's release of the award winning multi-platinum selling debut album, the live tour marks a year long celebration for the ten year anniversary of ‘In The Lonely Hour’. Travelling across South America and Europe with a 24-date live plan on stages across the globe.
