Trust. Respect. Educate. Value. Trevor Silver—the management student and designer behind tREv Clothing—was striving to live by these principles long before they became the pillars of his brand. Inspired by his “fashionista” mother from a young age, in 2017 Silver found his way into clothing while he was pursuing law school (which inspired his first design, called Balance Success), and it’s been full-steam ahead ever since. “Going to law school, I wanted to be the person I wanted to look up to as a kid. I still don’t know any Black male lawyers from my community. I may have switched my career path, but I can still make an impact on my community,” says Silver, who’s currently busy studying management and running a tREv pop-up shop at 5545 Clyde Street through to Christmas. “My ideal future would be for the brand to be a symbol of success, and to change peoples’ perception of streetwear.” Looking at tREv’s designs, we’d say the future is now.
