Stuart grew up in Glasgow and spent his twenties working in retail buying before realising the industry made more sense to him as a subject than a career. He moved to London, took a postgraduate diploma in journalism and began writing about fashion and design from a distinctly non-glossy angle — less catwalk, more high street; less celebrity, more craft. His work has appeared in style, culture and general interest publications and he has built a reputation for pieces that take fashion seriously without taking themselves too seriously. He lives in South London, dresses better than he admits and knows more about trainers than is probably healthy.
