Timothy Everest

Everest was born in Southampton{{Cite web|url=http://www.freebmd.org.uk/cgi/information.pl?cite=Rwtt6VmjbYGSUaeH%2FP%2B3Ew&scan=1|title=Index entry|access-date=21 August 2018|work=FreeBMD|publisher=ONS}} but brought up in Haverford West; most of his family remain in the area of Wales.{{cite news|title=Bespoke tailor fan of PM's style |url=http://news.bbc.co.uk/1/hi/wales/south_west/6265468.stm |access-date=25 November 2010 |date=3 July 2007 |work=BBC News}} His parents were restaurateurs.{{cite magazine |last=Koh |first=Wei |title=Timothy Everest – One man to rule them all |magazine=Revolution |pages=129–141 |date=December 2008}} He had aspired to become a race car driver.{{cite web |url=https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=KogNKkZBjWA&NR=1 |url-status=dead |title=Timothy Everest Collection Introduction for M&S |date=4 November 2010 |work=YouTube |format=YouTube |publisher=Marks & Spencer TV |access-date=18 March 2011 |archive-date=19 December 2015 |archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20151219102444/https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=KogNKkZBjWA&NR=1 }} But, his ambition unfulfilled, he took a job with his uncle when he was 17 at Hepworths, Milford Haven; a high street tailor that would form the foundation of the Next retail empire.{{cite journal|title=Tinker, Tailor, Timothy Everest |author=Lipkin, Ash J. |url=http://www.arbuturian.com/2010/timothy-everest |publisher=The Arbuturian |location=London |access-date=21 May 2010 |date=30 April 2010}} In the early 1980s, he became interested in the club scene, often driving to London, where he mixed with New Romantics such as Boy George at The Blitz; a trendy London nightclub run by Steve Strange of the group Visage.

Determined to become part of the fashion industry, but unable to make a breakthrough, Everest decided to use his knowledge of tailoring to his advantage. He answered an advertisement placed in the London Evening Standard, in 1982, by Tommy Nutter: "Boy wanted in Savile Row".{{cite news |title=A New Peak For Everest |last=Buttolph |first=Angela |url=https://www.independent.co.uk/life-style/fashion/news/a-new-peak-for-everest-1328771.html |archive-url=https://ghostarchive.org/archive/20220621/https://www.independent.co.uk/life-style/fashion/news/a-new-peak-for-everest-1328771.html |archive-date=21 June 2022 |url-access=subscription |url-status=live |newspaper=The Independent |access-date=25 February 2011 |date=14 July 1996}}{{cite web |title=History of Savile Row |url=http://www.savilerowbespoke.com/History/History_of_Savile_Row/ |publisher=Savile Row Bespoke Association |access-date=7 April 2010 |year=2008 |url-status=dead |archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20110716012132/http://www.savilerowbespoke.com/History/History_of_Savile_Row/ |archive-date=16 July 2011 }} He pestered Nutter for weeks, until he was given the job.{{cite web |url=http://www.maxim.co.uk/fashion_old/news/2720/timothy_everest.html |title=Timothy Everest: Everest in collaboration with Italian shoemaker Regain |work=Maxim |publisher=Dennis Publishing Ltd |access-date=17 March 2011}} Nutter's client base included rock stars, celebrities, politicians and businessmen; he famously dressed The Beatles and The Stone. Everest also mixed with future celebrities of the fashion world. John Galliano, who had been studying at the Central Saint Martins College of Art and Design, passed on some design skills to Everest, while on work placement with Nutter. Everest met his future wife Catherine at this time, while she was also working with Nutter.{{cite web|title=Innocent |url=http://www.innocentthefilm.com/fileadmin/files/EPK__PDF.pdf |page=2 |access-date=17 March 2011 |year=2010 |publisher=Innocent the Film |work=Innocent the film, press pack }} The couple have two daughters.{{cite web|title=Timothy Everest Receiving my MBE |url=http://blog.timothyeverest.co.uk/2010/03/it-seems-only-yesterday-that-i-received.html |access-date=10 March 2011 |date=1 March 2010 |publisher=Timothy Everest |work=Timothy Everest website}} Everest's time under Nutter, a Savile Row revolutionary in the 1960s, inspired him to experiment with tone and pattern in his own designs. In 1986, after nearly five years as Nutter's apprentice, Everest was persuaded to move on to work for Malcolm Levene. He had become disillusioned with Savile Row, particularly with its lack of appreciation for Nutter's more modern approach. Everest found that working with Levene, a small menswear retailer based away from Savile Row, on Chiltern Street, provided a welcome change. During Everest's first year there, Levene's turnover doubled.

Leaving Levene in the late 1980s to become a freelance stylist in television advertising, MTV and film, Everest began styling bands and pop stars such as George Michael. He recognised a shift in perception of the male fashion industry; men had become more label conscious. This had coincided with the increased awareness of top-end fashion designers, like Hugo Boss and Armani, highlighted by men's lifestyle magazines such as Arena and The Face. He said, "I thought that if we could demystify bespoke tailoring and make it more accessible, as well as really understanding what was going on in ready-to-wear fashion and being directional with it, there was possibly a market there." Having decided to create the Timothy Everest brand as an alternative to 'designer' ready-to-wear, he searched for a suitable location away from "the stuffiness of Savile Row".{{cite web|title=Who is Timothy Everest |url=http://www.timothyeverest.co.uk/who-is |access-date=27 February 2011 |year=2010 |publisher=Timothy Everest|work=Timothy Everest website}} Everest opened his first premises in 1989; in Princelet Street, Spitalfields, just outside the City of London, in the East End.{{cite web|title=Timothy Everest Timothy Everest: A Potted History (part 1) |url=http://blog.timothyeverest.co.uk/2011/03/timothy-everest-potted-history-part-1.html|access-date=10 March 2011 |date=2 March 2011 |publisher=Timothy Everest |work=Timothy Everest website}} He said, "We started in one room of a house. We had one rail with four garments on and a telephone, no chairs, no furniture." To begin with, business was slow. Moving premises in 1993, he chose a three-storey, early Georgian townhouse (built in 1724), just north of Old Spitalfields Market in nearby Elder Street – the former home of artist Mark Gertler (1891–1939) – converting it to an atelier over seven weeks.{{cite web|title=Timothy Everest Timothy Everest: A Potted History (part 2)|url=http://blog.timothyeverest.co.uk/2011/03/timothy-everest-potted-history-part-2.html|access-date=10 March 2011 |date=3 March 2011|publisher=Timothy Everest |work=Timothy Everest website}}

Everest became one of the "Cool Britannia" tailoring generation of the mid-1990s, identified by James Sherwood (author of Savile Row: The Master Tailors of British Bespoke) as having begun with the publication of Vanity Fair's "Cool Britania" issue in 1997.{{cite web|title=The New Generation of Modern Tailoring|author=Sherwood, James |url=https://www.bbc.co.uk/britishstylegenius/content/21811.shtml |access-date=30 July 2010 |year=2010|publisher=BBC |work=BBC British Style Genius series}}

A keen cyclist, in 2009 Everest collaborated with cyclewear brand Rapha to develop a bespoke suit that could be worn while cycling; what he called "bespoke active wear". Priced at £3,500, the three-piece suit was made of blended wool, using nanotechnology to repel water and dirt. It combined the functionality of classic cycling clothing with the elegance of bespoke tailoring. Its features included a high button fastening to keep the jacket closely fitted to the body, a lapel pocket for an MP3 player and pleats at the shoulders and center back to allow extra fabric when the rider was bent over the bicycle.{{cite web|title=Timothy Everest and the Boultbee Jacket |url=http://blog.brooksengland.com/wps/saddlesbagsetc/timothy_everest_john_boultbee_jacket/ |access-date=17 March 2011 |date=8 November 2010 |publisher=Brooks England |work=The Brooks Blog}}{{cite journal|title=London Calling: Riding around a British tailor's bespoke world |url=https://books.google.com/books?id=C8cDAAAAMBAJ&pg=PA80|journal=Best Life |volume=5 |issue=8 |page=80 |publisher=Rodale, Inc.|location=Emmaus, Pennsylvania |issn=1548-212X|access-date=29 July 2010 |date=October 2008}}

The Timothy Everest brand has three levels of tailoring. 'Bespoke' is aimed at young professionals with the means to purchase bespoke tailoring, but not necessarily the desire to visit Savile Row.
