Encyclopedia
Timothy Everest, MBE
(born 1961) is a Welsh
bespoke
tailor
and designer who has, according to Vogue
, "dressed some of the world's most famous people". Born in Haverfordwest
, Wales, he moved to London in his early twenties to work with innovative Savile Row
tailor Tommy Nutter
, where he learned the art of bespoke. Everest was one of the leaders of the New Bespoke Movement, which brought designer attitudes to the traditional skills of Savile Row tailoring.
Everest has been running his own tailoring business in the East End of London
since 1989. Based at his Spitalfields
atelier since 1993, he opened a West End
store off Bond Street
, near Savile Row, in 2008. As well as collaborating on projects with designers and brands such as Brooks England
, DAKS
, Kim Jones
, Levi's
, Rapha
and Rocawear
, as costume design
er Everest has dressed the stars of films including Mission Impossible (One
and M:i-2
), Eyes Wide Shut
, Atonement
and Mamma Mia!
. He has been associated with the British high street retailer Marks and Spencer since 1999, and has been a contributor to men's magazine The Rake
since 2008. Everest is at the forefront of the bespoke casual movement.
, Pembrokeshire
, west Wales; most of his family remain in the area. His parents were restauranteurs. He had aspired to become a racing driver. But, his ambition unfulfilled, he took a job with his uncle when he was 17, working as a sales assistant at Hepworths
, Milford Haven
; a high street tailor that would form the foundation of the Next retail empire. 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. He answered an advertisement placed in the London Evening Standard
, in 1982, by Tommy Nutter
; 'Boy wanted in Savile Row'. He pestered Nutter for weeks, until he was given the job. Nutter's client base included rock stars, celebrities, politicians and businessmen; he famously dressed The Beatles
and The Stones
. 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 (now an actress and film producer) at this time, while she was also working with Nutter. The couple have two daughters. 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 their 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.
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". Everest opened his first premises in 1989; in Princelet Street, Spitalfields
, just outside the City of London
, in the East End
. 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. He dressed Tom Cruise
for the 1996 film Mission: Impossible
. Cruise liked the suits so much that he kept them, and commissioned Everest to make him some more.
" 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. Sensing a change in consumer attitudes, away from the more traditional styling of Savile Row, he sought to revitalise bespoke suiting, which he believed had been in danger of disappearing. With contemporaries Ozwald Boateng
and Richard James, he launched the New Bespoke Movement, which brought a designer approach to Savile Row craftsmanship. He launched the brand's first ready-to-wear
collection in 1999. His long-standing association with Marks and Spencer began that year. He dressed Tom Cruise
again, for his reprised role in the 2000 film Mission: Impossible II
, and at the Oscars
that year, when he also dressed Robin Williams
and Burt Bacharach
. By 2000, he had 3,500 bespoke clients. Everest joined DAKS Simpson
as design consultant in May 2000. He was appointed to the board as Group Creative Director in 2002, leaving in 2003. One of the lines he designed for DAKS was an affordable suiting range aimed at teenagers, launched in August 2001; called DAKS E1, after the postal district of his atelier.
in 2004, he designed a tailored-denim suit, sold in Japanese retailer Oki-Ni's stores. Expanding the bespoke casual concept, he offered a bespoke denim tailoring service dressing celebrities from sports, Hollywood and rock music, such as David Beckham
, Kevin Bacon
and Ricky Wilson
of the Kaiser Chiefs
. Everest designed a suit collection in 2004/05 in collaboration with Rocawear
, the fashion clothing company founded by American hip hop
artists Damon Dash
and Jay-Z
. The advertising campaign was fronted by Dash's friends Kevin Bacon
and Naomi Campbell
. He teamed up with British casual and sportswear designer Kim Jones
during 2005 and 2006. The collaboration produced tailoring collections for four seasons that were shown on the catwalk
at Paris fashion week
. For his next collaboration, in 2006 Everest showed a limited collection of menswear with New York hair salon Bumble and bumble
, including a fully bespoke denim line, which retailed at around US$1,000. Marketed as a 'destination location', the retail space on the store's 8th floor, in the fashionable Meatpacking District
of Manhattan, also featured a barbershop, a café and a teahouse. In autumn 2007, the Timothy Everest ready-to-wear collection was available in shops for the first time, including Flannels
, Liberty and John Lewis
. The range included suits, shirts and trousers. He was costume design
er for the 2008 film Mamma Mia!
, dressing its stars, including Pierce Brosnan
and Colin Firth
. He opened a West End
store in 2008, at Bruton Street, Mayfair

since 2008.
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. The jacket design was incorporated into Rapha's ready-to-wear collection in 2010. In collaboration with bicycle saddle manufacturer Brooks England
during 2010, he developed a cycling jacket; under Brooks' John Boultbee clothing label. The resulting 'Criterion Mk.1 cycling jacket', which used water and sweat-resistant materials, was shown at the Bread and Butter street and urban fashion fair, Berlin, in January 2011.
Everest received an MBE
in the 2010 New Year's Honours list for his "services to the British fashion industry". Having receiving the award from Queen Elizabeth at Buckingham Palace
on Saint David's Day
2010, with his wife and two daughters watching, he described the award as a "great honour, not only for me but my business and all who have been involved". He is quoted as saying that he would like "to be remembered as someone who made people take British clothing seriously".
' is aimed at young professionals with the means to purchase bespoke tailoring, but not necessarily the desire to visit Savile Row. Each customer is measured for an individual pattern to be hand-cut, from which their chosen cloth is cut and sewn by hand. Although still hand made, 'Made-to-measure
' garments use existing 'house' patterns, adapted to the customer's measurements. The 'Ready-to-wear
' collection is sold in-house, at Everest's Mayfair branch, and in Japan. Emphasising his Savile Row background, Everest said, "We are tailors who design, not designers who discovered tailoring".
retailer Debenhams
' collaboration with designers, launched in 1993 under their Designers at Debenhams range, was a success. Hoping to recapture some of their lost market share, Marks and Spencer (M&S) asked Everest to review their menswear range. As Creative Consultant, he designed the Sartorial suiting line for their menswear collection. In October 2000, he designed the Autograph suiting line. Noting that the M&S range consisted of Italian-style suiting, he aimed to achieve a more 'British' look from the cut, fit and styling and by using different fabrics and colours. He also has responsibility for their Luxury collection. During M&S advertising campaigns, his designs for the Autograph range have been modelled by several British celebrities, including David Beckham
, Bryan Ferry
, Jimmy Carr
, Martin Freeman
, Bob Mortimer
and Take That
. In 2007, M&S were selected by The Football Association
as 'Official Tailor to the England football team
' and Everest designed the team's official suits for the 2010 World Cup
in South Africa.
