This past weekend, Crew Member Tandori decided to stop by San Diego from Japan on his way to Hawaii for some R&R (is it possible to to take a vacation, from taking a vacation?). In between feasting on dim sum, great Italian food, and whole Dungeness crab, we spent a lot of time discussing important topics of the day, such as: who our next President will be, are those Chinese gymnast really 16 years old, and what suit is Bond wearing in Quantum of Solace?
We really have no clue on the first two questions, but after a little research, we found out that Her Majesty's stylish assassin will be sporting suits by Tom Ford, replacing the Brioni digs he's been sporting in the past five Bond movies. In a recent LA Times interview, Tom Ford explains why his suits, which have an English bespoke feel are a good fit for Bond:
"It's a terrific representation for us," said Ford, against the backdrop of the polished Macassar wood walls of his made-to-measure suiting salon. "A lot of people think if you wear conservative clothing your life is dull and uninteresting. But James Bond is this character who is sophisticated yet he sleeps with three girls at once and [has a car] with parachutes coming out of it. His life is very interesting, so I thought it was a good fit."
If you're interested in going for the Bond look yourself, you can purchase a Tom Ford suit (they go between $3800 to $5000 a piece) at one of his boutique shops. Go to tomford.com to find the nearest one near you.
Haven't seen the trailer for Quantum of Solace? Here you go:
