From elegant dresses and cult watches to glamorous dresses and swimsuits that steal the show, James Bond Style explores the timeless fashion of all twenty-five Bond films, not only 007 himself, but also his nemesis, love interests and colleagues. Oscar-winning costume designer Lindy Hemming, who has worked on five James Bond films, wrote the book's text and captions, as well as contributing to the creative 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 divided by Bond in chronological order, namely Sean Connery, Roger Moore, George Lazenby, Timothy Dalton, Pierce Brosnan and Daniel Craig, and each chapter is packed with the most iconic looks from the actors' films, from Dr. No to No Time To Die. In addition, there are extensive insights and behind-the-scenes stories of both the costume designers who worked on each film and the actual designers who made the clothes – think Donatella Versace, Tom Ford, Tom Ford and Tom Ford: Donatella Versace, Tom Ford and Jenny Packham, as well as a host of actors, from Pierce Brosnan and Daniel Craig to Michelle Yeoh and Grace Jones. These anecdotes reveal the scope of Bond's style business: for example, for No Time to Die thirty-three tuxedos were made in record time to measure by Tom Ford (received only twenty-four hours before filming), while in Quantum Of Solace, Prada made twenty dresses for Olga Kurylenko - since the actress wore the dress for most of the film, One was needed for each step of the action, from new to dusty to ruined. And all the most memorable moments are inside, from 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 unexpected and now completely viral shot, Daniel Craig, also in La Perla, on a Bahamian beach in Casino Royale (one of the costumes used was then auctioned for £44,450). Thanks to never-before-seen sketches, detailed fashion analysis, and extensive research by the series' official archivist, we're sure to say that no book in history has chronicled the sartorial aspect of the Bond franchise as comprehensively as James Bond Style, otherwise known as the definitive bible of Bond's style.
