From sharp suits and cult watches to glamorous gowns and scene-stealing bathing suits, James Bond Style explores the timeless fashion in all twenty-five Bond movies, not only of 007 himself...
One of the world’s most renowned costume designers, Lindy Hemming, a graduate of Britain’s Royal Academy of Dramatic Arts, has worked on five James Bond films: GoldenEye (1995), Tomorrow Never Dies (1997), The World Is Not Enough (1999), Die Another Day (2002), and Casino Royale (2006). Hemming is the recipient of an Academy Award for best costume design for Topsy-Turvy (1999) and has been nominated for a Tony Award and several BAFTAs. She also won two Costume Designers Guild Awards, for The Dark Knight in 2008 (she was the costume designer for all three movies in Christopher Nolan’s The Dark Knight trilogy) and Patty Jenkins’s Wonder Woman, in 2017. In addition, Hemming has received critical and commercial acclaim for both independent and blockbuster films, among them Four Weddings and a Funeral, the Tomb Raider franchise (starring Angelina Jolie), Harry Potter and the Chamber of Secrets, Paddington, Paddington 2, and Wonka. In 2018, Hemming, from Carmarthenshire, Wales, was voted by the BAFTA Cymru committee as the winner of the Siân Phillips Award, which recognises Welsh people who have made a significant contribution to international television production and feature filmmaking.
