In this episode of Maverick Mindsets, we welcome Stuart Trevor!
A forward thinking brand genius, a unique creative, and a true eco-advocate in the polluting fashion world. In 1983, Stuart became the finalist in the Paul Smith/Mont Blanc competition and won designer of the year at The Smirnoff Fashion awards “Menswear Day”. Aged 19 he became the first designer and main buyer for REISS. At 28 he founded All Saints and many of the clothes that continue to feature every week in the top 10 bestseller list of the high-street brand today, were designed by Trevor himself over 20 years ago.
Stuart is a firm believer that “the world doesn't need a new clothing company”. In this episode, we dive deeper into the ins and outs of the changing world of fashion, career setbacks and successes, and uncover what makes him a true maverick!
Growing up in a council estate in Dundee, Stuart couldn’t afford brand new clothes so he had to make do with hand-me-downs and vintage clothing.
Inspired by David Bowie and Kate Bush, Stuart boldly experimented with audacious hairstyles and honed his craft in customising his school uniforms and aging threads, transforming his appearance into that of an indie rock star.
A mix of his bold look, his talent for sewing and a serendipitous meeting led him to discover that fashion degrees existed and the rest, as they say, is history.
Prepare for stories about how he bedazzled David Reiss founder of the namesake brand, the meteoric rise of All Saints, and dressing the once-unknown Kings of Leon.
