The title of ‘Bond Girl’ isn’t just a one-film thing; it’s like a lifetime badge of honor. A certification that a woman has a certain something. And the latest to earn that badge?

Globe-Trotter are synonymous with craftsmanship and the nostalgic magic of travel.

Many movie costumes are custom made, such that the closest thing you can get to owning them yourself is a chance purchase of something similar, or to have your tailer whip you up a copy.

It’s one of the year’s biggest films, so expect to see Skyfall promotion efforts getting the faces of Daniel Craig & Co plastered across a magazine or two. Count Hunger‘s third issue amoung them, with Naomie Harris and Daniel Craig each getting a cover as photographed by Rankin.

James Bond has arguable done as much for men’s fashion as it has for entertainment, and it’s done so over a period of decades. You need only look at Daniel Craig’s latest Tom Ford designed tuxedo to see that it’s still an influential franchise. Long before Daniel Craig, however, was Sean Connery and the Conduit Cut – created by Anthony Sinclair – which this video…
