Those gadgets, smooth suits, and of course, the sly smirk, secret agent James Bond has been donning the tag of male fashion icon for over 50 years. But as manifested by the legends, from the hunk Sean Connery to the royal Roger Moore, and from the sexy Pierce Brosnan to the macho Daniel Craig; a few things have remained unchanged for the agent’s gear, the retro and cool, tailored and all-male look.
So when it was the time to bespeak the spy’s outfit for the upcoming (and of course the most awaited flick of 2012) Bond thriller – Skyfall, Jany Temime knew whom to approach. None other than the most sought after Tom Ford, who designed Bond’s bespoken outfits for Quantom of Solace – the 2008 blockbuster.
Together they have taken things to a new dimension and it’s going to be a treat to the eyes for bond fans to see Bond sporting overcoats, suits, tuxedos, lace-up hard leather ankle boots, custom aviator shades and sleek cuff links.
Bond’s Updated Look in Skyfall
How did Temime modernize James Bond’s elegant outfit while appreciating his classy look? ‘You cannot modify bond’s look, all you can do is update it’, and Temime was completely aware of the fact. The opening sequence of the movie is action packed.
For this thriller’s opening sequence, Tom Ford’s bond suit was created in 60 versions, 30 for the agent, and 30 for stunt double. Each piece was designed keeping in mind the needs of the scenes, for instance, when bond rides a motorbike in the flick, he wears a designer suit with long sleeves so that they don’t come back over his forearms.
Every suit was given three fittings and this was aimed at keeping it paramount class when it comes to tailoring. Light, woolen silk mohair made the first suit and the Tuxedo was designed out of woolen silk. Temime wanted to keep Bond’s pants noticeably close fitted and the boxer briefs body hugging, just for an added sex appeal.
Temime reported that the Bond moviemakers didn’t want just a business suit for Bond and were looking for sexy suits instead. As James Bond was required to show off his gritty body, the shirts in this movie were designed quite close to the body. Just to ensure that the audience can notice Bond’s cuts and macho physique!
Bond fans across the globe are anxiously waiting to get some fashion cues from his look in Skyfall, which hits theaters on these dates worldwide.
