LONDON, ENGLAND – March 2nd, 2020 - It was announced today that TOM FORD has dressed James

Bond in the upcoming action adventure, No Time To Die. Produced by EON Productions, directed by Cary Joji Fukunaga, and starring Daniel Craig as the legendary secret agent 007, the film is in cinemas globally from 2 April 2020 in the U.K. This is the fourth consecutive time that Ford has dressed Daniel Craig as the iconic character of James Bond.

TOM FORD menswear is all tailor-made in Italy, and is characterized by its elegant cut, exclusive fabrics and hand-finished details.

Tom Ford, CEO and Creative Director of the eponymous brand, has commented: “I could not be happier to be dressing Daniel Craig as James Bond again in the upcoming film, No Time To Die. James Bond epitomizes the TOM FORD man in his elegance, style and love of luxury. It is an honor to move forward with this iconic character.”
