Every Melbournite who has watched a Bond movie and dreamt of becoming an international super-spy is one step closer to this honourable goal, as Designing 007 – Fifty Years of Bond Style reveals to you the secrets behind the James Bond franchise.
The exhibition will be showcasing a range of costumes from Roger Moore’s white tuxedo from Octopussy, the spacesuit from Moonraker, the orange bikini worn by Halle Berry in Die Another Day and Daniel Craig’s sky blue trunks from Casino Royale. The 1969 Aston Martin DBS featured in the film On Her Majesty's Secret Service will also be on display alongside graphic sketches, gadgets and costumes.
If you've never wanted to be James Bond you're lying. Consider this exhibition the first stage in your training. The next time the world is in grave peril, you won't have to deliberate over the important question of 'What should I wear?' and you'll be well equipped to save the day.
Designing 007 – Fifty Years of Bond Style will be held at the Melbourne Museum from Fri Nov 1.
