For some up and coming designers, the chance to dress Hollywood celebrities can open endless doors for a flourishing fashion career. But British entrepreneur Tom Cridland got more than just a break after creating men’s chinos—his eponymous brand’s specialty—for no less than Academy Award winner Leonardo DiCarpio in 2015.

“Having the opportunity to make some pairs for Leonardo led me to find out more about his work as an environmentalist. It was then that I decided to try to lead an industry trend towards protecting our natural resources by making truly durable clothing,” Cridland wrote in his email to The Manila Times.
