I make no apologies for believing that Daniel Craig really did become the closest thing we've seen to IAN FLEMING's James Bond. You can imagine original Bond girl Ursula Andress wearing the enchanting silhouettes, just as you can envision Léa Seydoux doing French-girl bombshell fashion in Jenny Packham in the latest movie. Casino Royale (2006) is the twenty-first spy film in the Eon Productions James Bond film series, and is the third screen adaptation of Ian Fleming's 1953 novel of the same name.
The list goes on each piece jaw-dropping, yet ageless. There’s the Dr No dress – a smouldering scarlett chiffon gown inspired by the slinky number Sylvia Trench wore when the secret agent first introduced himself as “Bond – James Bond” the Goldfinger gown – a caped confection speckled with sequins and crystals that calls to mind the image of Jill Masterson, painted in gold, lying on Bond’s bed – and the dramatic Octopussy design, with its daringly high slit and waterfall draping reminiscent of a head-turning costume modelled by Maud Adams. Shot by Greg Williams at Isabel’s in London, the campaign pictures look glossy enough to be the promo shots for No Time To Die which, incidentally, comes out around the same time the Jenny Packham X 007 collection drops in 10 of the world’s most renowned department stores.
