It was with some
trepidation that in autumn l994 we accepted to dress
Pierce Brosnan in the film GOLDENEYE
Our doubts derived basically from the consideration that
our clients include many heads of state, royalty and
leading businessmen. How would they react to learning
that their tailor was also to dress a young secret agent?
Other problems could arise from the fact that the last
Bond, whose dress was the least important of all Bonds,
was six years ago. Was the glamour of Fleming's creation
still alive and relevant in the world?
On the other hand, there were many reasons to be proud
and important messages of style to be conveyed. First and
foremost, that one could be young, dynamic and also, or
perhaps, above all, sexy in a classical tailored suit.
Moreover, James Bond, the very symbol of English
elegance, has always been dressed by Savile Row tailors,
hence the decision to entrust his dress to Brioni
symbolises the definitive triumph of Italian fashion.
The film's success exceeded all reasonable expectations,
and box-office takings were the highest of all the Bond
films. Much of the credit should obviously go to the
actor and director, but Bond's wardrobe undoubtely also
played an important role in this success. This has not
excaped the international press which has dedicated
innumerable articles to the "Bond'' look, and even
predicted that the success of "GOLDENEYE" will
engender the definitive return of the classical style.

“TOMORROW
NEVER DIES”
In this latest spy adventure, based on characters created
by the late author Ian Fleming, award-winning costume
designer Lindy Hemming once again worked closely with
Brioni master tailor Checchino Fonticoli.
Seeking to provide an even more modern edge to the
character's tailored look the pair subtly altered the
line to a more roped shoulder, with less suppression at
the waist.
In addition, the button stance on the handsome actor's
suit and sport jackets have been lowered a full inch-a
substantial change that allow for an even easier fit that
lends a slightly more contemporary yet still classic look
to the James Bond style.
Observes Hemming: "The new Brioni clothing that Mr.
Brosnan wears in "Tomorrow Never Dies"
establishes the James Bond character as a totally modern
man of international taste, dressed in classic but
contemporary proportions". In the new film,
Brosnan's 007 once again advances the unmistakably
elegant, classically tailored, three-button,
single-breasted silhouette that successfully revived the
fashion life of the character in "GoldenEye".
In the new film, apart from the meticulously crafted two
and three-piece suits in the finest lightweight fabrics
hand selected by Hemming, Bond looks remarkably suave in
a luxurious, camel colored, classic topcoat hand-tailored
by Brioni in 100% cashmere.
For the perennial James Bond scenes where the character
steps out in formal wear, Brioni has turned out an
insouciant yet subtle twist on tradition: midnight blue
rather that black, an invention of Edward VII, the Prince
of Wales, who once maintained that the color was
"blacker than black" in the glare of bright
evening spotlights.
Brosnan never looked better as Bond in his midnight blue,
Brioni one-button, single breasted wool barathea tuxedo
with peaked silk grosgrain lapels and five-button shawl
lapel vest, a rarely seen style popular in the 1930's and
making its way back into today's formal fashion
