James Bond Style Book
Introducing the James Bond Style book by Assouline, a large format coffee table book celebrating the style and elegance of 007 and his world. From sharp suits and cult watches to glamorous gowns and scene-stealing bathing suits, James Bond Style explores the timeless fashion in all twenty-five Bond movies. This meticulously researched book takes you through the wardrobe of not only of 007 himself, but also his nemeses, love interests, and colleagues, with direction from five-time 007 and Academy-Award-winning costume designer Lindy Hemming.
Backstory. Lindy Hemming wrote the book’s text and captions, in addition to contributing to creative direction and photo selection. The book also includes an introduction from Dylan Jones OBE, editor-in-chief of the London Standard newspaper.
Details. Thanks to its never-before-seen sketches, detailed fashion analysis, and extensive research by the series official archivist, no book in history has chronicled the sartorial aspect of the Bond franchise as comprehensively as James Bond Style. The book is separated by Bonds in chronological order, each chapter 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 every movie as well the actual designers behind the outfits, from Donatella Versace, Tom Ford, and Jenny Packham, to the actors including Pierce Brosnan and Daniel Craig to Michelle Yeoh and Grace Jones.
