A multi-facetted designer, Natalie’s love of creating interiors incorporates her work as a fine artist and influences taken from her experience working in Set Decoration for the British Film Industry.
\nNatalie originally trained in Art History in London and Berlin before becoming an interior designer in London for nine years where she designed large scale hotel schemes for corporate clients such as W Hotels, St Regis, InterContinental, Four Seasons and Park Hyatt amongst others.<\/p>\n

KEYNOTE: SHAKING UP THE WORLD OF FASHION\u2026 IN HOTELS.<\/strong> He is known as one of the leading British high street designers of all time and now AllSaints Founder, Stuart Trevor, is taking the fashion world by storm by producing critically acclaimed sustainable designs without producing any garments.<\/p>\n

Hosted by:<\/strong>
\n\u2022 JAMES WILKINSON<\/strong>, Group President, AHICE Global Conferences and Editor-In-Chief, HM and Wayfarer magazines<\/p>\n

Speaker:<\/strong>
\n\u2022 STUART TREVOR<\/strong>, Founder, AllSaints & Director, Stuart Trevor<\/p>\n

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 \u2018Menswear Day\u2019. 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.<\/p>\n

Whenever Stuart was asked to start a new fashion brand he replied, \u201cthe world doesn’t need a new clothing company\u201d. Then he thought to himself\u2026 hold it… what about a clothing company that doesn’t produce any clothes?<\/p>\n

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.<\/p>\n

Now, he\u2019s launching into the world of hotels and watch out, because he\u2019s launching into the hospitality sector with ranges like never before.<\/p>\n
