Remember the show-stopping outfit Amanda wore to the Britain’s Got Talent grand finale in 2014? Well, since creating his first dress for Amanda just one year ago, Samuel Dougal, an up-and-coming young fashion designer from Cornwall, has received a surge of interest from the A-list crowd.

Gaining a first class honours in Bespoke Tailoring at the London College of Fashion, Dougal refined his skills working for Alexander McQueen Couture and Philip Treacy as a Couture Assistant and Milliner respectively. Now he’s creating a name for himself as designer to a star-studded list of personal clients, including Tamara Ecclestone, Cheryl Fernandez-Versini, Nicole Richie, Christina Aguilera, and Sienna Miller. Amanda couldn’t be happier to have been one of Samuel Dougal’s first fans, once again proving her sharp eye for spotting and supporting Great British talent. 

She looks forward to discovering even more new designers for her future red carpet and TV appearances.
