James Bond's (Pierce Brosnan) three-piece suit from Martin Campbell's Bond movie GoldenEye. Bond wore his Brioni suit as he came face-to-face with his old ally Alec Trevelyan (Sean Bean). After Bond and Natalya (Izabella Scorupco) escaped from Trevelyan's clutches they found themselves being interrogated by Russian Defence Minister Mishkin (Tcheky Karyo), before chasing General Ourumov (Gottfried John) through the streets of St Petersburg in a tank.
The suit is made by Brioni, the bespoke menswear couture house that created the majority of the luxury suits worn by Brosnan in the role of James Bond. Brosnan was integral to the process of developing Bond's look, and was consulted on how his character would dress throughout his tenure. As costume designer Lindy Hemming later recounted: "We wanted him to look modern, but not trendy like someone in advertising. Pierce's own demands were that the designs had to reflect the lightness of modern man, but still be svelte and smooth."
The suit is made of blue wool with a silk-effect Brioni logo lining. The suit was made especially for Brosnan in the role, with the jacket labelled "Brioni, Roma" and featuring an Angels & Bermans costumiers label, which reads "1995 Goldeneye Pierce Brosnan". The waistcoat and trousers both feature a similar description within. A white shirt and tie have been added to complete the look of the costume, which is presented on a custom-made display featuring the film title and a description of the bespoke outfit. Dimensions (displayed): 38 cm x 60 cm x 182 cm (11" x 23 1/2" x 71 3/4")
Special shipping required; see special shipping notice in the Buyer's Guide.
Estimate: £10,000 - 15,000 M
