Timothy Everest
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 designer 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.
==Early life==
Everest was born and brought up in Haverfordwest, Pembrokeshire, west Wales; most of his family remain in the area. His parents were restaurateurs. 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.〔
