Tom Ford to Make James Bond’s Suits
Fashion house Tom Ford look set to supply 007 suits for the new James Bond Movie Quantum of Solace.
Hmmmmmmm
Daniel Craig was suited by Brioni for Casino Royale and some suit it was too. Brioni also measured the inside leg of Pierce Brosnan for his stint in the 007 films so why the change to Tom Ford ?
It does seem peculiar as the franchise are well known for wringing every penny out product placement yet they don’t seem to bother with the clothing.
I can understand it with the suits as who is going to watch the film then go and spend £3,000 to £7,000 on a suit ?
But I’m sure there’s room in other things.
It looks as though the news is something of a slip-up and not yet meant for our ears.
It seems the ex Gucci designer Tom Ford wanted to make the announcement himself, which itself suggests that they will look to market the potential unlike Brioni who paid nothing to the franchise nor seemed to make much noise about it.
Personally speaking I think it should be a Savile Row tailor doing the job myself but then that’s me !
I remember wincing when I saw Daniel Craig wearing a short sleeved shirt in Casino 
That brings about the question - who was the best dressed Bond ?
Or who was the sexiest Bond Girl ?

It has to be Pierce Brosnan best dressed Bond
And the most sexy Bond girl has to be Honor Blackman. She had it all, class, sexy, sultry voice and she is still lovely at 82!

I hate to be sycophantic but I was thinking Brosnan as well.
As to Honor Blackman I saw her in something the other week and she still looks incredible - we should all hope to be so lucky.
I am quite partial toward Caterina Murino though
The red dress being on of the most stunning I’ve seen

Honor Blackman - Always looked great, still does, and I have to agree with Jordan a great voice.
