About Stuart Trevor
Founder story & expertise
Stuart Trevor is a fashion designer and entrepreneur best known for founding All Saints. His interest in clothing began in childhood, when he learned to sew and customised hand-me-downs and school uniform. After studying fashion in Nottingham, he created early opportunities through competitions and by approaching established people in the industry directly. He went on to work with Rees for 10 years, helping develop the product and brand before leaving to launch All Saints. After building All Saints and later selling the business, Stuart continued working in fashion and mentoring brands. His current business, Stuart Trevor, is built around a different model: taking vintage, dead stock and existing garments and repairing, customising or upcycling them rather than following the conventional cycle of producing large quantities of new clothing. His work now combines fashion design with a strong focus on circularity, waste reduction and changing how people think about what already exists in their wardrobes.
