Bond at the Barbican

 A few months ago i visited the James Bond exhibition at the Barbican in London with the old man and I have to say it didn't disappoint. I cant say we're massive Bond fans but there is certainly a mutual appreciation for the iconic spy and the legacy the films have built through the years. The main appreciation comes from bonds dress sense which i was looking forward to seeing what was on display.


 It was fantastic to see the first bond suit created by Anthony Sinclair for Sean Connery. Just seeing the evolution from what Connery was wearing to tom fords current creation for Daniel Craig in terms of the cut, silhouette and style. Fascinating. There was also a great display of the roulette table scene in casino royale where Daniel Craig's Brioni tuxedo looked out of this world!
     They even had Mr Craig's La Perla trunks on display next to Connery's Sunspel's from 1965.
