Classic, timeless cheeky and distinctly
British, yes we could be describing Hall, Susannah Hall. However, we are talking
about one of the most influential suit wearers in British history. BOND IS BACK (excited? Oh yes!) And we are
looking forward to seeing just how much suit envy Mr Craig creates in the
latest Bond instalment, “Skyfall”.
From Connery to Craig, we have all
wanted to live and let die in the suits of Bond. The delightful and delectable Sean Connery,
in his famous charcoal grey 3 piece suit, is to blame. With its distinct texture paired with a crisp
white shirt and knitted tie Bond oozed elegance and proved to the world that it’s
worth investing your Moneypenny into bespoke tailoring.
Rumour has it that at the time of
filming, Connery considered himself as rather inexperienced in the suit wearing
business, luckily director Terence Young turned Dr No and prescribed him with
strict instructions to wear his suit at all times, even when he was sleeping!
The introduction of Daniel Craig left
us wanting to die another day as he showed us simplicity can be striking with
soft silhouettes combined with the classic English feel. Although what a travesty that forty bespoke
suits were ruined beyond repair by this modern day action hero...swoon. No longer were they fit for every day wear,
nor a special trip to Casino Royale.
The suspense is over, Skyfall is
finally here. This is rumoured to be the
best Bond yet.
Bond is smart, sophisticated and
elegant, he can do no wrong. He has
reached the pinnacle of his career, what will the next 50 years bring? Reach for your own “Skyfall”.
In all our
imaginations we dream of being Bond...007
