Throughout the series, the focus is on the subject, Sam Morris, and sees him disengaged from whomever it is that may be with him and rather focused on how he looks and is coming off.

Personal StylistHarrods
- London, United KingdomFull Time
During my time in Harrods, I put my skills to use on a more personal level.
Originally hired as a sales assistant for Tom Ford, it was clear to myself, my clients and my superiors that I could be doing more for the business and so a role was created for me within my department as a stylist.
I took care of 15 clients seen as valuable to the department and helped them plan their wardrobes each season. This consisted of booking in appointments to fit their schedule as most of the time they were not in the country; ordering in pieces from brands and having them shipped internationally to said clients and finally, looking at their personal style and helping them build a wardrobe that suited them whilst introducing them to a few new styles.
