Tom Ford

Joining James on this episode is a giant of the fashion world, known for transforming the fortunes of Gucci in the 90s, before setting up his own eponymous fashion brand in the 2000s.

That label became hugely successful, not only financially, but also in terms of its impact on popular culture. Daniel Craig insisted on getting 007 suits made by him. Michelle Obama wore one of his designs to meet the Queen, while Jay Z titled a track in his honor. 

Not content with his achievements in fashion alone, he began a career as a filmmaker, writing, directing, and producing two Oscar nominated movies, A Single Man and Nocturnal Animals.

He joins us at what can only be described as an intriguing point in his life, having recently sold his fashion empire to be a full-time filmmaker.
