Oldham

Todd (1962). American fashion and interior designer. Originally from Texas, he became established by selling his creations to Neiman Marcus in Dallas. He then moved to New York and signed a contract with the Japanese distribution company Kashiyama to produce the Times Seven range, launched in 1990. A year later he created his first collection under his own name, followed shortly after by a range of jeans, sunglasses, shoes, and perfume. He has stores in New York, Miami South Beach, Los Angeles, and Tokyo. In 1998 he began producing a sportswear range for men. Admirers of his original, multiethnic, sexy, and colorful styles include Susan Sarandon and Cindy Crawford. In 1998 the excessive costs of fashion shows and advertising forced him to shut down his major range and go on the defensive: private clients, a cheaper range, a line of jeans, and a single boutique in Soho.
&Quad;Towards the end of the 1990s, Oldham intensified his collaboration with MTV, and after designing the interior of a bus sent by the music channel on tour around America to encourage young people to vote, he has worked on the interior design of the Tiffany Beach Hotel in Miami and some shopping malls in Las Vegas.
