KEYNOTE ADDRESS: SHAKING UP THE WORLD OF FASHION… IN HOTELS, by All Saints Founder, STUART TREVOR, in conversation with AHICE Group President and HM Editor-In-Chief, JAMES WILKINSON.
Presented by

In 1983, Stuart Trevor was a finalist in the Paul Smith/Mont Blanc competition and in 1985 he 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.

Whenever Stuart was asked to start a new fashion brand he replied, “the world doesn’t need a new clothing company”. Then he thought to himself… hold it… what about a clothing company that doesn’t produce any clothes?

This fell in line with his two main passions: having fun and protecting the planet. It was consistent with his belief that scarcity is the mother of creativity.

Now, he’s launching into the world of hotels and watch out, because he’s launching into the hospitality sector with ranges like never before.

If events do take place during the official times, without the written approval from the AHICE team, the organisers and representatives of those companies will not be able to attend any AHICE sessions at the Adelaide Oval or Design Inn and are at the risk of passes being revoked.

We will also be requesting that supplier attendees that aren’t sponsors of the event to not canvas for business with sales materials and documents at the events at the Adelaide Oval or SkyCity. Those that do it will be at the risk of passes being revoked.
