Outfits worn by Pierce Brosnan in three of the films he starred
in from 1995 to 1999 will feature. From GoldenEye (1995) is Brosnan’s
Brioni grey three piece-suit (£8,000-10,000), a similar
blue suit (£5,000-6,000) and a cream linen suit (£8,000-10,000).
In GoldenEye, a new Bond for the 1990s was created, when Pierce
Brosnan took over as 007. The long-established house of Brioni
in Rome, supplied him with their famed look of style and elegance.
Brioni has a stipulated way of tailoring their suits with a minimum
of 185 steps to produce the finished article which creates an
ageless fashion statement. The grey Brioni suit was used extensively
throughout the film, most memorably in the scene between Alec
Trevelyan and Bond in the disused communist statue park. A black
dress, shoes and jacket, from GoldenEye as worn by Famke Jansen
is estimated at £3,000-4,000.
