The Founder of All Saints Reveals the Truth About the Fashion Industry | Stuart Trevor
Q: Tell us why you chose the name All Saints and the symbol behind it.

He also shares how the NFL's ownership of the New Orleans Saints nearly blocked the name, and how he secured permission to use it by presenting his portfolio to the NFL Europe CEO.
