Summary
even the most famous male icon in my opinion, and it's been going on for almost 60 years since the first James Bond was released in 1962.Its most famous actors are Sean Connery, Roger Moore, and Pierce Brosnan. But here I'm only going to talk about Daniel Craig, a James Bond who caused debate. My idea is to understand the little secrets behind the choice of your most striking outfits. Review of details, from Casino Royale to No Time to Die.
1. CASINO ROYAL
This is the first James Bond starring Daniel Craig. I know that he is an actor who is controversial, particularly for his “mountain of muscles” side, but I really like this rawer, more physical side of the character.
It's the same costume designer as for the James Bond films with Pierce Brosnan, Lindy Hemming, who has always been very respectful of men's tailoring codes. Lindy Hemming notably worked on the Batman film with Christian Bale.
If Craig is still dressed by Brioni , we are looking at a much stronger and more physical James Bond than Pierce Brosnan. So this more sporty side had to be reflected in his clothes, hence the fact that he wears a lot of t-shirts.
In this first film with Craig, the stakes are high because this is where James Bond acquires his 007 number, the character has a real evolution and that must be seen in the film. It begins with a black and white scene in which he wears a peacoat, the coat of young naval officers, in reference to his military past.
He wears John Lobb shoes, an English brand also very high-end, Ramsey model, which are the brand's chukkas. It makes sense, it’s a pair that’s both dressy and casual.
Then his linen suit and no tie shows the less formal, younger and relaxed side.
There comes a chase scene in which he
Underneath he wears a Julien Scavini article t-shirt.
The costumes are in tonic mohair, a fashionable fabric in the 60s, which has a very particular way of taking on the light. It is a blend of mohair and wool, light to wear, with a soft hand and which dries very quickly, made by Dormeuil.
As for casual outfits, what a surprise to see that he is wearing an Alexander Olch jacket. I'm quite surprised by this outfit, I think it gives him an almost grandpa look, especially with the straps. Knowing that the scene takes place in Italy, I understand the choice to have used almost only Italian brands, but I'm really not a fan.
He will continue to wear velvet with a curious light coat, always from Massimo Alba. In cotton velvet, it's an atypical choice and I'm not sure that many of you would be comfortable wearing a velvet coat. So a choice that leaves me perplexed, I really would have seen it with a little jacket instead. He also wears pants from the same brand, and always in velvet. This James Bond is definitely velvet passion!
