Exclusive cashmere knitwear brand N. Peal’s partnership with 007 continues in James Bond’s latest on-screen adventure “No Time to Die” with a uniquely created military style sweater in navy. Modelling its design on British Military Commando sweaters, N. Peal developed this piece of knitwear with No Time To Die costume designer Suttirat Anne Larlarb.

“We wanted to give Bond a unique look in specific scenes of the film,” begins Larlarb, “And yet the piece had to be action-ready. It needed to be a strong silhouette, something that harks back to his military past and which also had a timeless quality to it as well.”

The N. Peal team worked with Larlarb’s brief, detailed photographs of authentic Commando sweaters and samples of extant vintage pieces to create the unique piece of clothing that Bond wears in the film and in his striking character poster.

“When you have the number of decisions that you are required to make, for each and every detail, for every item of clothing, in a film of this scope and size, having a collaboration such as the one we had with N. Peal was a godsend,” Larlarb concludes.

For N. Peal managing director, Adam Holdsworth, the collaboration was equally rewarding.“We’re very pleased to work with the James Bond franchise and our project with Suttirat and No Time To Die is something of which we are very proud.”

N.Peal also supplied a cashmere T-shirt for the film, worn by Madeleine Swann. Both of these signature pieces are exclusively available from N. Peal prior to No Time To Die’s theatrical release in April 2020. Interest can be registered on their website now.

It's not every day an iconic American fashion brand gets a completely new creative direction from Raf Simons. After all the teaser advertising with the iconic white Calvin Klein briefs contrasted by young women in daring cuts and draped in the American flag reveling on a stone floor — we finally get to see what we have been waiting for, all we have to say is American fashion is fun again. From geometric contrasting colors, which remind us of Loewe to the camel color and flesh colored sheer shirts thin men are wearing on the runway which truly remind us of Parisian collections.  So why not wear head to toe denim. Just saying.

Gym. 

A detox drink?

Don’t have one.

As a model, how do you make yourself comfortable in front of the camera?

Just by being myself.

As a photographer, whats the biggest difference between being in front of the camera and behind it?

Someone who is comfortable in front of the camera and easy to direct. 

What are some of your favorite moments of your modeling career?

This is a tough one, there is no way I can pick a favorite moment. I’ve been very fortunate to be able to work with amazing people and going to breathtaking places. One day you could be shooting in London and the next you off to Paris or Barcelona. I feel very fortunate and lucky.

Somebody that is confident and comfortable in their own skin.

From the moment you walk into the new BARNEY'S NEW YORK Downtown (designed by Steven Harris Architects), you're pleasured by the ample open white space of black accents, mixed textures and a spiral staircase which brings the MOMA to mind, it makes for a perfect canvas for fine shopping. They say a way to a man's heart is through his stomach, so when that time comes, there's a FRED's just like BARNEY'S on Madison Avenue. All and all the BARNEY'S DOWNTOWN is perfect, gents.
