Bolongaro Trevor

Brand Profile Bolongaro Trevor is the next venture of Stuart Trevor and Kait Bolongaro, the founders and creative inspiration behind the ‘All Saints’ fashion retail brand. Bolongaro Trevor takes inspiration from British history; blending Victorian with vintage military and contemporary British street style and musical sub genres such as Teddy Boys, Punk, Mod, Skins etc. creating a cool, indie, designer label, successfully combining clean and sophisticated with a grungy, distressed vibe. The brand is now firmly established, highly regarded and worn by many of the coolest British actors, models, designers and bands With a rock ‘n’ roll vibe, the brand has managed to attract a diverse base of followers across a wide spectrum of ages and demographics, but all of whom share a passion for music and style. Bolongaro Trevor strives to constantly push the boundaries: "We never look at trends, preferring to take inspiration from our ever expanding collection of military uniforms and vintage finds amassed over the past 20 years, we generally rework the original piece to create a new look; customising, over dyeing, adding our own original prints, buttons, pockets, zips and trims. We take every garment and work it into that must-have piece." Stuart Trevor.

Designers Kait Bolongaro and Stuart Trevor

Biography Stuart Trevor graduated from the University of Nottingham in 1988 with a BA in Fashion Design, and in the same year won the prestigious Smirnoff Fashion Award for young new designers. This led to his first role as Head of Menswear for Reiss, where he designed its first ever own brand collections, which led to a complete shift in strategy from being a multi-brand retailer to become a fashion/retail brand selling own brand only. After 8 years at Reiss, Stuart left to found and develop his own label, All Saints, along with Kait Bolongaro, his long term design and business partner. Kait Bolongaro graduated in 1990 from Ravensbourne College of Design and Communication in Fashion Design and subsequently earned an MA in Fashion Design from the Royal College of Art in 1992, winning the prestigious Giorgio Armani award for excellence. She initially worked as a womenswear designer at Nick Coleman Ltd, but in 1995 joined Stuart Trevor to help develop the then infant All Saints brand, with a specific focus on womenswear, and Stuart on menswear. Together over the next decade, Kait and Stuart built All Saints into a successful fashion and 16 store retail business. In 2005 Kait and Stuart sold their stake in All Saints, and in 2006 together founded Bolongaro Trevor, as the next step on from the All Saints concept and a fresher take on the genre. In its first six years, Bolongaro Trevor has developed as an iconic brand with a unique but commercial look, and is stocked in some of the best fashion stores in the UK and the across the globe; it has also opened six of its own stores in the UK and plans to open more in the near future.

“When we started Bolongaro Trevor, we wanted to produce a totally different aesthetic to what we had created at All Saints. We were 28 years old when we started All Saints and it was all about what we wanted to wear then. This next venture gave us the opportunity to create a new, higher level, more beautiful and original product”
