N.Peal Wants to Dress You Like Bond

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.

New Business: Gucci Viaggio Travel Collection

Unless travel for business takes you to say, The Maldives, it usually won’t elicit zealous feelings of élan. “London’s amazing…except I’m there on business. And I’m going to have a pile of work when I get back. Sigh…” It’s a begrudging duty that dually whisks you away from your life and also, well, blenches your ability to wield the full power of your wardrobe. Dramatic? Hmph. This is business. Looks count. Quite a frustrating problem. And Gucci’s just launched some new high-class solutions, no—motivations, that will actually have you looking forward to getting on that plane to wherever so you can wheel and deal. (Details, after the jump)

The Gucci Viaggio collection takes the brand’s signature sleek styles and preens them with the kind of details important to the traveler. Wrinkling’s enemy no. 1—nylon is here, as are some assuaging cashmeres and sturdy, waterproof wools. The looks aren’t all that fussy, and really, are just what you want when running from formal meeting to casual dinner, meaning you don’t have to worry about over or under packing. And one of those “inside the head” joys of traveling— glissading through airports with the suave motion of the four-wheeled carry-on is made all the more enjoyable with the Viaggio collection’s stately design. The black, nylon briefcase (accompanied with a neoprene laptop case) is the perfect “personal item” and then, should you feel like topping off the look—there’s a bucket hat and black-out mask to lull you into luxuriant dreams while in transit. Check out the entirety of the collection here.
