From Brosnan to Craig: The STYLE Choices of Lindy Hemming

Academy Award Winner Lindy Hemming joins me for a walk through the style choices of James Bond from GoldenEye (1995) to Casino Royale (2006). An amazing discussion of the detail and process Lindy went through to make Bond the sartorial icon he is today. Along the way we discover information about the clothing of Bond that we NEVER KNEW! Join us for this informative and exciting journey....

When David is not running an advertising and marketing company, his hobby is The Bond Experience which is primarily a video blog where he discusses Bond experiences and the people and brands that help to create those experiences...
The mantra of living like Bond, one moment at a time emanates from a concept of experiencing the joy of collecting small moments in life that add up to amazing journeys and stories....whether it's through style, locations, literature, fitness, and the movies themselves the world of Bond is explored through its people and their stories.
Ultimately though, The Bond Experience channel is a celebration of the James Bond franchise and the many people that form a true community. Our core mission is to create a strong connection in the Bond community amongst all the fans, regardless of interest or demographic.

I’ve been wearing an Omega watch for years because of Bond. Can’t believe this woman is singlehandedly responsible for that being the official 007 watch. What a legend!

[@DutchBondFan]

56:49 David's face when Lindy casually mentions the brand David has been searching for for nearly two decades :')

[@garrylewis1868]

Lol I've been hunting for this shirt for years, she has all the answers lol

[@TheBondExperience]

So damn true!!!! LOL!

[@SprezzaturaLifestyle]

From a collectors perspective that might be huge, but other than that it's no big deal. Massimo Dutti is made in China and therefore not something that the real James Bond would ever wear.

[@jr8612]

Funnily enough, I bought a massimo dutti shirt in TK Maxx (TJ Maxx to our brothers in Langley) . So instinctively after watching this video I compared the shirt to the magnoli replica of the polo. The blue is pretty much identical. Shame we’re 15 years too late to track down the originals. Having said that, this is an incredibly insightful video, entertaining from start to finish

[@benstoyles1297]

@@jr8612 I have a couple of massimo dutti jackets from TK Maxx, surprisingly good quality for £30 a pop. Sleeves are always too long though, can't have everything.

[@cvbelmont4766]

Definitely looking forward to this. Lindy's work on the Bond movies is underappreciated. She did a terrific job on GE through CR.

She is a sartorial rock star!

All the years i've been watching the TBE, David this is my favourite video, so so great, Lindy and her work is amazing, and some of my favourite outfits of Bond

[@heyokaikaggen6288]

I'm not sure if I have a favourite video, there have been so that which I have enjoyed but you're right, I really loved this one.

[@michaelevanteo]

What a brilliant watch this was. To hear the insights of one of the best costume designers out there and to hear her talking about her fantastic work on Bond was such a delight.

[@イギリスの男]

You are a total hero for making this happen. I would have personally loved to see more discussion on Craig’s Brioni suits… but the fact this happened alone is something of a miracle. Thank you for all this!

[@TheBondExperience]

I think we will definitely speak to each film in the future!

[@elegoudreau8183]

One of the most humble, warm, creative and talented Costume Designers I had the pleasure of working with. Incredibly sharing of her knowledge.

Brilliant, brilliant interview. Thank you so much David! This is the kind of thing you never see and it is fascinating to fans. So informative and I think Lindy enjoyed it too. It's great to shine a light on the work of such talented people whose work so often goes unsung. (When she spoke about the Venice shirt I found myself literally holding my breath! Lol)

[@chriswhite1417]

Very special to get a one-to-one with this lady of the wardrobe who has been integral to so many Bonds. This should be shown in fashion schools

Great interview David! Probably one of thé people you had to get on to speak about clothing! Even for me, who isn't necessarily into the clothing of Bond persé found it interesting to hear Lindy talk. Interesting to see how interested she is in the haircuts each time too! Also P.S 22:24 it's of course CIA Agent Jack Wade, not Tanner! Just a minor slip up! Happens to all of us! Speak to you soon my friend, all the best!

Cool scoop to get Lindy. I very nearly met her when I was asked to quote to build an oven for baking the foam suits for Batman Begins. They eventually got someone else to make the oven. I think I was too expensive?

[@mrt5725]

What a cool, insightful interview! Loved learning how so many items and relationships with various companies came to be! So interesting how she basically had to take some things she wanted (blue dial Seamaster for example) and then attempt to pitch it and win the others over! Really hope you bring her back again! Thanks for this great video!

[@johnmoore7295]

The military waistcoat Bond wears at the climax of Goldeneye was made in a factory in Leicester by a very talented tailor called Kanti. He was a good friend of mine and I have to confess he let me try it on when it was nearly complete. Brosnan sent him a very nice signed photo and message after completing the shoot. I always get a buzz when I see the scene!!

[@FabioMateus]

I David, this was an incredible interview, Lindy is amazing and passionate about her work, we would love to see another interview with her about facts and Easter eggs from that time. Cheers

Keep up the great work and can’t wait for part 2! Salute! 🍸

[@sneakyJenbenn]

I thought that Brioni was a nod to the more international Bond and looked spectacular on PB. And while I Iove DC, his suits sometimes look like he's got a parachute or other gear on underneath his Tom Fords.

[@dennisjames6753]

That was one of the best Bond Experience videos of all!

[@emmanuelk1925]

I have always wondered if Bond is aware of the clothes & brands he’s wearing (apart from the product placements, which he acknowledges). It’s probably stupid, but I would love to see a scene of Bond shopping or visiting his tailor. Edit: not like Kingsman obviously, but something subtler & less gaudy.

[@k.b.7718]

Lindy Legend!

[@5517-j3q]

Literally just bought the Massimo Dutti polo as soon as she mentioned it. They still have the same one for only £40; seems to be the exact same as the movie with the same stitching etc.

[@thestarkknightreturns]

Lindy Hemming's work is flawless and she should have been kept through the remaining Craig movies. Without her, Craig's suits ended up looking too skinny and too tight until No Time to Die.

[@gdell1976]

Anybody else scouring the web for Massimo Dutti? Great video.

[@zerominuseleven]

From this interview sounds like Craig was part of the reason Hemming was never invited to return after CR. Big mistake…. QoS was okay but basically a shitshow after that, including NTTD

[@rwc20071]

Interesting how I think Craig looks worse after she was fired.

[@Noah-Lach]

His clothes looked great in Quantum of Solace but after that I thought it went downhill because they completely forgot about the casual outfits. When he isn't wearing a suit that stands out from the crowd, it's something ridiculous like Spectre's "tactical" turtleneck.

[@SprezzaturaLifestyle]

It's funny how Lindy talked about the shrunken suit accident. After she left all of Craigs suits look like they shrunk at the dry cleaner.

[@Weeraorn1]

Pierce Brosnan is the best Jame Bond actor.
