James Bond Style Assouline Book

Description

From impeccable suits and iconic watches to glamorous dresses and iconic swimsuits, James Bond Style explores timeless fashion through the twenty-five films of the Bond franchise, focusing not only on 007 himself through the ages, but also on his enemies, his loves, and his colleagues. Oscar-winning costume designer Lindy Hemming, who worked on five Bond films, wrote the text and captions for the book, in addition to contributing to the art direction and photo selection. The book also includes an introduction by Dylan Jones OBE, editor-in-chief of the London Evening Standard.

The book is organized in chronological order of the actors who have played Bond, namely Sean Connery, Roger Moore, George Lazenby, Timothy Dalton, Pierce Brosnan, and Daniel Craig, with each chapter showcasing the most iconic looks from their films, from Dr. No to No Time to Die. In addition, many behind-the-scenes details and anecdotes are shared by the costume designers of each film, as well as by the designers who created the outfits, such as Donatella Versace, Tom Ford, and Jenny Packham. Actors such as Pierce Brosnan, Daniel Craig, Michelle Yeoh, and Grace Jones also share their experiences. These anecdotes reveal the scale of the fashion industry in Bond: for example, thirty-three custom-made Tom Ford tuxedos were made in record time for No Time to Die (and delivered just twenty-four hours before filming), while in Quantum of Solace, Prada made twenty dresses for Olga Kurylenko, each dress corresponding to a different state of wear, from brand new to completely damaged.

All the most memorable moments are included, such as Ursula Andress emerging from the waves in her famous white bikini, and the homages to this scene: Halle Berry in a bright orange La Perla bikini in Die Another Day, and, in an unplanned but now famous shot, Daniel Craig, also in La Perla, on a beach in the Bahamas in Casino Royale (one of the swimsuits was later sold at auction for £44,450).

Thanks to previously unpublished sketches, a detailed analysis of fashion, and extensive research by the official archivist of the series, we are confident in stating that no book has chronicled the sartorial aspect of the Bond franchise with as much meticulousness as James Bond Style, in other words, the ultimate bible of Bond style.
