007's New Look

30th September 2011

Whilst promoting his upcoming film "The Girl With The Dragon Tattoo" in New York City last week, Daniel Craig spoke to a group of reporters about the new look for 007 he has been working on with fashion designer Tom Ford for the upcoming 23rd James Bond film.

"Tom [Ford]'s doing the suits. In fact, I've spent a long time with Tom getting a very different look and he's been designing a new set of things [for the film]."

"It's great that he's doing it. It's going to be a new kinda look. It's a new feel. I'm very excited about that. I'm very excited about the suits."

Tom Ford first started working with Craig on Bond's clothes for "Quantum of Solace" alongside costume designer Louise Frogley. For Bond 23, it is understood that "Harry Potter" alumni Jany Temime will be taking Frogley's position.

Craig was asked whether he still enjoyed taking home some of the costumes from his productions. "I probably was when I first did Bond and I was given all these amazing suits and suddenly I've got this huge wardrobe and I'm thinking 'Oh my God, what am I going to wear?'"

"I so do not give a shit anymore!" [Laughs]

 


"I've kind of flipped the other way and if I could just wear jeans and T-shirts all the time I would. But that doesn't mean I don't like getting dressed up. I'm really lucky to have a wardrobe with five or six beautiful suits done by Tom and some other people. So when the time is right, I put them on, and they're beautiful.
