Concur.
It's a trend in people buying RTW suits, you really aren't gonna see a tailor do that unless someone demands it, and even then most would probably value their reputation more and refuse the client.
I don't really blame TF in this case though as the costumer actually makes that call. I'm hoping with all the negative feedback they ask for a little better fit this go round. With a more classic Bond mission in SPECTRE, I'm optimistic.
On the bright side, Fiennes stuff from Everest has been fantastic.
Bellucci made it to Austria too? Will Seydoux be there? :-/
I'm not saying people here can't have an opinion about Bond's suits in Skyfall. I'm just saying that I will trust Tom Ford more than non-fashion designer Bond fans when it comes to the suits worn by 007.
The costumer, Jany Temime, specified the suits, not Tom Ford. So you can trust Tom Ford but it's irrelevant. Temime demonstrated to everyone with knowledge of menswear a lack of understanding, it's well documented and not a secret.
Anyway, this conversation needs to go elsewhere, not in this thread.
Just recall the action sequences. In the past films Bond was simply wearing total black jumpsuits during action sequences (TLD, AVTAK, TB, GE) or simply more casual attire. If one thinks a slim-fit suit looks perfect during action sequences, then one is very wrong here.
Suits ARE not made for action sequences. Off course they suddenly look...too tight when he is fighting. On the other hand, I found Bond's suits very flattering during easy-going scenes in SF, like the briefing in M's office, the Macau casino scene, the introduction of Silva to M, and the final sequence when Mallory is the new M.
Not even close.
Indeed.
Please cite where I said that I know more than Tom Ford about suits. Thanks.
And once more, this isn't the proper place to discuss this.
Well, have you seen previous Bond films? During a lot of action sequences Bond was not wearing a suit. Take the foot chase from "Casino Royale" for instance.
By the way....it's snowing incredibly hard in Altaussee right now. Reminds me of the snow storm in OHMSS. But won't this affect filming tomorrow? I thought they need sun for the romantic sequences in Altaussee.
"The Skyfall suits were awful. They weren't "close fit", they were way too small and produced all kinds of unsightly pull creases. It's not anybody out of shape whinging about tradition or anything else. They simply didn't fit."
You're welcome.
He's giving his opinion on the cut of the suit. He doesn't state he knows more about tailoring than Tom Ford. Do you know more than Mendes about directing? or B+M about producing? No. Doesn't stop you critiquing the films.
Correct. Along with the fact that Ford was just making what EON ordered.
In his over-exuberance to make a point it seems Pancho neglected reading comprehension or just decided to use a strawman.
In your opinion. I thought they looked ill-fitting at points. Depends on what cut you care for. Anyway, like others have said, this should probably be in another thread.
Yep
For the second time: do you really think Tom Ford would keep working with EON if he didn't like the way his suits looked in these films? It's safe to say he believes his suits fit Daniel perfectly in QOS and SF.
Also, you stating that "Ford was just making what EON ordered" proves again that you have no idea what you are talking about.
Excellent, thanks!
Monica Bellucci has confirmed that she will be on set in January. Didn't say in Austria but she might be over there.
Bellucci's the one with the sun glasses.
