  • I'm fairly curious as to if they will work fragrance back in. It seems an ample marketing opportunity, and a chance to connect with Fleming if they go with Floris instead of just 007 branded TF scents.

  • Again, just stop. You are making wildly hyperbolic and declarative statements. You don't seem to be able to participate in normal discourse, so why are you even in this thread if you don't really care about clothes? Some of us do, and yes, know w…

  • Excellent. My favorite part of the movies. Hopefully the negative reaction from the menswear community last time will result in suits that fit this time. I'm sure that the accessories will be typical, Omega watches, Church's shoes (though C&am…
