November 15, 2015 - Hour 2




THE BIGGER PICTURE with Timothy Spangler show

Summary: TOM CRIDLAND, the celebrity British menswear designer, is our special guest this Sunday night. TOM has been designing clothing since the age of 18, when he sold nearly £3,000 worth of "SWINE 09" t-shirts in a single week of school and donated all the profits to Médecins Sans Frontières. In January 2014, aged 23, he founded his eponymous menswear brand upon the simple principle of making truly luxurious clothing and selling it direct to customer online. TOM is half Portuguese and it is in Portugal that all his clothing is made. Celebrities spotted in "TOM CRIDLAND" clothes include Leonardo DiCaprio, Hugh Grant, Stephen Fry, and Daniel Craig, as well as Ben Stiller, Jeremy Piven, Rod Stewart, Brandon Flowers, Robbie Williams, Nile Rodgers, Michael Portillo, Stephen Merchant and Frankie Valli. The rock star drummer, Nigel Olsson, in the Elton John Band since 1969, is such a fan of TOM's trousers that he had the Tom Cridland brand made an official sponsor of Elton's concerts. This year, TOM launched "The 30 Year Sweatshirt," a sustainable fashion project in the form of a premium organic cotton crewneck backed up with a 30 Year Guarantee. The Times of London saluted the sweatshirt as "a campaign against planned obsolescence in the fashion industry." A "TOM CRIDLAND" flagship store is opening on the King's Road in London in January 2016. Hear our live interview with TOM CRIDLAND this Sunday evening on KRLA 870AM!
