Style Icon: James Bond

Yes. James Bond. A fictional character is this months Style Icon (for those of you that need it, you can picture Daniel Craig. Eff that Pierce Brosnan Bond. He was a joke. Nothing against PB, He's just no Bond). Fictional character or not, James Bond has copious amounts of style (side note: copious is such a great word). I present the newest movies in the Bond franchise as Exhibits A and B. Obviously Daniel Craig is by far the most stylish (not to mention badassest) Bond of them all. For Quantum of Solace, Tom Ford was the exclusive tailor for the movie. I remember reading a quote that they went through something like 40 bespoke suits during filming. Brings a tear to my eye. Also, in the latest films, Bond wears several pairs of John Lobb shoes (you may recall these from my first "desires" post.) OH! How can I forget? Bond also rocks Persol. And you all know how I feel about Persol. Bond's style has always been casual cool, sophisticated/classy and first-class. The man is always dressed for the occasion; whatever it may be. Bond's sense of style originated in the Ian Fleming books but was brought to life in the movies. If I strive to be like any one person style-wise; modern day Bond would be that person. Except for the Omega watches. I like my watches a little classier/dressier.
