Dressed to Kill: James Bond - The Suited Hero Book
The impact of the Bond films on popular culture is impossible to over-estimate. Dressed to Kill follows the sartorial transformations of the hero in a suit from the 1960s chic of the Nehru-collared jacket in Dr No to the classic Italian tailoring by Brioni in GoldenEye. Carefully researched texts and copious illustrations trace Bond's influence, as a male style icon on many dimensions of popular culture, from action sports to advertising--as well as on the man in the street. Bond fans, movie buffs and fashion aficionados will all find new and illuminating material in this volume, which brings together a broad range of previously unpublished documents including film stills, advertising and candid images of the Cold War ambience of which Bond was a product. Although many books have explored the fascinating history of the 007 films, this is the first to demonstrate what made the Bond character a modern myth, and the world's most famous secret agent. --Luke EngoodeRead More
