Marketing in the Madness

What if the most sustainable fashion brand was one that didn’t make any new clothes?

In this episode of Marketing in the Madness, recorded live at the Retail Technology Show, Katie Street sits down with Stuart Trevor - founder of AllSaints and now founder of the eponymous fashion brand, Stuart Trevor.

Stuart shares the story behind building AllSaints into one of Britain’s most recognisable fashion brands, from his early obsession with David Bowie and customised vintage clothing to securing orders from some of the world’s biggest department stores during his first season.

He also explains why he returned to fashion with a completely different business model: creating designer collections using vintage, recycled and upcycled clothing rather than producing new garments.

What does the future of retail look like when AI understands not just what customers search for, but what they actually mean?

Recorded live at the Retail Technology Show, Katie Street sits down with Komal Koul, Head of Digital Performance at Currys, to explore how artificial intelligence is transforming retail, marketing and customer experience.

Komal explains how Currys is approaching the move from traditional keyword searches to conversational, intent-led discovery. Customers are no longer simply searching for “Bluetooth speakers”; they are asking for “a speaker I can take to the beach”.
