No, I didn’t ever know that, I just thought blue was an interesting idea. The midnight blue dinner jacket – was that inspired by Sean Connery’s era in the 60s? Tom Ford was also very happy that I wanted to have the tuxedo in dark blue instead of black. They sent me their best tailor and some samples from Italy. We told them Tom Ford is what we all wanted Daniel to wear as James Bond. I was really happy to be with Barbara Broccoli because it’s quite intimidating, arriving in that temple of style. We created the shape of his suit together before seeing Tom Ford. I went to see him in New York with a bunch of clothes. I was very much helped by Daniel Craig who had a very good idea of what he wanted to look like. I had to look at what sort of man Bond could be now, how he could hold the values of a modern English gentleman and spy, and show this in how he looks. There were 50 years of history when I started. How do you find that balance of adding your own style and respecting the tradition? This was the challenge, the balance between innovation and being respectful of the tradition of 007. It’s very hard to take on a legacy and do something more modern. You have to respect what has been done before and at the same time innovate. What were your first steps when starting on a Bond film? I think Sam looked at my work on Harry Potter and liked it. My agent told me that he was interested in seeing me, we had a meeting to discuss the work and that was it. He was looking for someone to work on the costumes for Skyfall. How did you become involved with the James Bond films? I was full of aspiration afterwards, it was so glamorous. It was the first one I saw in a cinema in Paris, on a big screen on the Champs-Élysées. The film I fell in love with was Octopussy.
