Watch Daniel Craig Pass the Torch in New Bond Trailer

Leave a reply

Ever since it was announced that actress Lashana Lynch would succeed Daniel Craig in the next Bond film, No Time to Die, the public has been anticipating their next dose of the famed secret agent with bated breath. Rumors of Craig’s departure had been circulating for a while, but I don’t think anyone was expecting the franchise to cast Lynch, the first female and black actor to take on the role. It’s a huge deal and will undoubtedly inspire an entirely fresh generation of James Bond fans.

 

The first official trailer for the upcoming film has just dropped and it’s a doozy. There’s all the archetypal Bond-isms: fast cars, explosions, expensive suits, gunfire, international cities, the works. Rami Malek stars as the villain, apparently. And Lynch seems at ease as she inherits Britain’s most iconic film role with effortless poise.

 

No Time to Die hits theaters in April 2020. Watch the trailer for the film above now.

Leave a reply

Nordstrom kicks off the new season with the seventh installment of its Concepts initiative, Concept 007: BEAMS. This time around, the retailer partnered with the Japanese clothing brand on an exclusive range of apparel, accessories, and home goods. Additionally, off-shoots BEAM PLUS and BEAM T offer chunky knitwear and other fall necessities inspired by elite college merch. The new Concept also features items from New Balance, Polo Ralph Lauren, and Brooks Brothers.

 

“As New Concepts evolves, each iteration has become decidedly different from the last,” Sam Lobban, VP of men’s fashion, said in a statement. “BEAMS is both innovative and evergreen, embodying trends while remaining classic. The breadth of that offering is something American customers have not experienced in-store.”

 

Concept 007: BEAMS is open now at Nordstrom Men’s store and online. Read our interview with Sam Lobban from the fall issue here.

N.Peal Wants to Dress You Like Bond

Leave a reply

As the world’s most famous secret agent (love that oxymoron), James Bond aka 007 has had an immeasurable impact on pop culture since his debut over 50 years ago and consequently informed a generation of menswear looks. Whether it’s in a classic tux or poolside onesie, Bond has established himself as one the longest standing style icons in film. To honor his legacy, N.Peal designed a collection of 13 cashmere looks inspired by the beloved character.

 

N.Peal has a history with the film franchise — two of its cashmere pieces were worn by Daniel Craig in the Skyfall and Spectre films. But this marks the first time the British menswear brand has gone beyond the contemporary films and recreated looks from decades past. Chronicling each of the six actors who have portrayed Bond over 26 films, the collection manages to stand as a current interpretation of some classic vintage looks. Some standouts from the range include a navy cable-knit crewneck sweater, as worn by Pierce Brosnan in Goldeneye, and a light blue cashmere bomber worn by George Lazenby in On Her Majesty’s Secret Service.

 

The N.Peal x 007 collection is available in stores and online now.

TOM FORD suits Agent 007—played by Daniel Craig—in the brand new installment of the James Bond film series “Spectre.” This is the third time the NYC-based fashion brand dresses the fictional British secret service agent, providing made-to-measure tailored clothing as well as casual wear including eveningwear, suits, shirts, knitwear, ties, and accessories, alongside exclusive eyewear for the Bond character. “I could not be happier to be dressing Craig as James Bond again in ‘SPECTRE,'” says the designer himself. “James Bond epitomizes the TOM FORD man in his elegance, style, and love of luxury. It is an honor to move forward with this iconic character.” Ford came on board for “Quantum of Solace,” replacing Italian brand Brioni, which had designed all of the suits worn by Craig’s predecessor, Pierce Brosnan.
