English tailor Dunhill to dress 007 in Bond 22, Brioni confirmed as out |
Quantum Of Solace - 26-09-07
The world�s most famous spy is about to change out of his Brioni tux. For the first time in 12 years, James Bond will not wear hand-stitched Brioni suits on screen - reports DNR.
A Brioni spokeswoman told BTL that the Italian luxury label�s decade-long relationship with the film franchise�during which Brioni dressed Pierce Brosnan and, more recently, Daniel Craig�had ended. �We�re sorry to no longer be involved, but things change,� the spokeswoman said. �There appears to be a new costume designer, and [with that] comes a new approach to the wardrobe.�
Apparently 007 is going back to his English roots: London-based Dunhill is said to have landed the high-profile role of providing costumes for Bond. A Dunhill spokeswoman had no comment. However, this would be a natural progression for the Richemont-owned company.
Dunhill has dressed Craig for a series of publicity events, including the world premiere of Casino Royale last fall.
