James Bond Style

From sharp suits and cult watches to glamorous dresses and breathtaking swimsuits, the coffee table book "James Bond Style" explores the timeless fashions in all twenty-five Bond films, not only of 007 himself through the eras, but also of his enemies, lovers and colleagues. Academy Award-winning costume designer Lindy Hemming, who worked on five Bond films, wrote the book's text and captions in addition to contributing creative direction and photo selection. 

The book is organized by Bonds in chronological order, namely Sean Connery, Roger Moore, George Lazenby, Timothy Dalton, Pierce Brosnan and Daniel Craig. Each chapter is filled with the most iconic looks from the actors' films, from Dr. No to No Time To Die. In addition, there are extensive behind-the-scenes insights and stories from both the costume designers who worked on each film and the actual designers behind the outfits-think: Donatella Versace, Tom Ford and Jenny Packham-plus a host of actors, from Pierce Brosnan and Daniel Craig to Michelle Yeoh and Grace Jones. These anecdotes reveal the enormity of the craft that is Bond-style. For example, for No Time To Die, thirty-three custom-made tuxedos by Tom Ford were made in record time (and received only twenty-four hours before filming), while in Quantum Of Solace, Prada made twenty dresses for Olga Kurylenk - since she wore the garment for most of the film, they needed a dress for every phase of the action, from brand new to dust-covered to ruined.

And all the memorable moments are in it, like Ursula Andress emerging from the waves in that famous white bikini, to the tributes to that scene: Halle Berry in a shocking orange La Perla swimsuit in Die Another Day and, in a completely unplanned and now completely viral shot, Daniel Craig, also in La Perla, on a Bahamas beach in Casino Royale (one of the swimsuits used was later auctioned off for 44,450 pounds).

Thanks to never-before-seen sketches, detailed fashion analysis and extensive research by the series' official archivist, we can confidently say that no book in history has described the sartorial aspect of the Bond franchise as comprehensively as James Bond Style, also known as the ultimate Bond style bible.
