Fashioning James Bond is the first book to study the costumes and
fashions of the James Bond movie franchise, from Sean Connery in
1962's Dr No to Daniel Craig in Spectre (2015). Llewella Chapman
draws on original archival research, close analysis of the costumes
and fashion brands featured in the Bond films, interviews with
families of tailors and shirt-makers who assisted in creating the
'look' of James Bond, and considers marketing strategies for the
films and tie-in merchandise that promoted the idea of an
aspirational 'James Bond lifestyle'. Addressing each Bond film in
turn, Chapman questions why costumes are an important tool for
analysing and evaluating film, both in terms of the development of
gender and identity in the James Bond film franchise in relation to
character, and how it evokes the desire in audiences to become part
of a specific lifestyle construct through the wearing of fashions
as seen on screen. She researches the agency of the costume
department, director, producer and actor in creating the look and
characterisation of James Bond, the villains, the Bond girls and
the henchmen who inhibit the world of 007. Alongside this, she
analyses trends and their impact on the Bond films, how the
different costume designers have individually and creatively
approached costuming them, and how the costumes were designed and
developed from novel to script and screen. In doing so, this book
contributes to the emerging critical literature surrounding the
combined areas of film, fashion, gender and James Bond.
