By award-winning artist and lead singer of Ashenmoon, TOBY RAND.

Talking music, travel, fashion and more with GARRY BEERS, bassist and founding member of INXS with over 80 million albums sold, in conversation with Allsaints and Stuart Trevor Founder, STUART TREVOR.

As the bass player and founding member of international hit makers INXS, GARRY BEERS has had a lifetime devoted to what he does best – playing bass in what is regarded as one of the best rhythm sections ever.

Garry’s rhythmic and powerful bass playing was an important part of the INXS success story that saw them sell 80 million albums and sell out the biggest and most prestigious Stadiums and Arenas and Festivals around the world.

A Sydney native, Garry has lived in Los Angeles for 20 years and his new LA-based band is a partnership with his mate and songwriting partner Toby Rand called – AshenMoon.

Co-written and Co-produced by Beers and Rand, AshenMoon sees Garry’s love of classic rock and powerful grooves combined with Toby’s incredible voice and lyric content.

Garry has also recently released his own line of bass guitars – the GGB basses, which have his own patented Bass pickup onboard and are hand-built in California to replicate the look and feel of vintage 50’s and 60’s classic basses.

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.

Growth expectations from Accor Global Chief Development Officer, Premium, Midscale & Economy Brands, CAMIL YAZBECK, in conversation with JAMES WILKINSON, Group President – AHICE and Editor-In-Chief, HM.
