The spy who never dies. And hardly even creases his suit while saving the world.
The fascination for all things James Bond never ceases, women want to be with him and men want to be him. And it’s not a mere haircut and shave that got James there!
Before the metro man came along, many of the tougher sex would have scoffed at the idea of spending so much time matching shoes with their clothing.
In Skyfall, James wears no less than four different Crockett & Jones Tetbury shoe models, matching them with his carefully selected apparel, from a tux to a Barbour sports jacket.
He matches his Tom Ford cuff links with his Tom Ford suits, ties and sunglasses; and when he lifts his hand to sip his signature ‘shaken not stirred’ you can see he’s got on an Omega Seamaster.
Again, different models in different scenes, to match the rest of his wardrobe.
Sure, the Walther PPK, with its short barrel and cozy grip adds it own touch of masculinity to being such a fabulously accessorized man. But let’s face it, most of us deal with nothing more fierce than a bad mood at work – that’s hardly a reason to possess a gun!
Brands associated with James Bond have seen sales go through the roof for products used in the movies. Limited editions and special commemorations have been eagerly lapped up.
James Bond, as far as the retail world is concerned, was a box office hit even before it screened at cinemas.
Everybody, it seems, likes a well-dressed man!
