James's business took off in the 1930s. He began producing designs, including linens, accessories, and sportswear, for American buyers such as Best and Company, Marshall Field, Taylor Importing Company, and Casino Frocks. He divided his time between London and Paris while regularly sending dresses to the United States. In 1936 he became the toast of Paris with his first show there.
