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'.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eAddressing 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.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Fourth Wall Bookshop","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":57944287347023,"sku":"9781350258488","price":14.99,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/1006\/6028\/1679\/files\/9781350258488.jpg?v=1781644062"},{"product_id":"the-james-bond-archives-no-time-to-die-edition","title":"The James Bond Archives (“No Time To Die” Edition)","description":"\u003cdiv\u003eThe ultimate companion to all things 007, covering the making of every movie in the James Bond franchise, from Dr. No to the 25th film, No Time To Die.
