Levi’s 501 Interpretations

By

Calling all denim heads. Levi’s 501 Interpretations is the exciting new photography book by the iconic denim brand commemorating 140 years in the biz. The Manual recently got a sneak peek at the tome and was blown away with the 501 photographs—the culmination of a global campaign designed to bring together visual interpretations of the classic 501 style by fans and celebrities—showcasing good ol’ blue on ordinary folks to stars such as True Blood’s Joe Manganiello and singer Miguel to actors Anna Kendrick and Kate Bosworth. Dedicated followers of fashion will particularly be interested in renowned photographer Francesco Carrozzini’s portraits of designers and tastemakers, ranging from Todd Snyder, Mark McNairy and actor Alan Cumming to Paper Magazine‘s Mickey Boardman, Details’ Eugene Tong and A Continuous Lean‘s Michael Williams, all sporting the classic jean in their own stylish way. Levi’s produced only 501 copies of the book globally, so run, don’t walk to get this casebound gem in high-quality linen wrap, each individually numbered and with a unique cover image so no two editions are alike. Levi’s 501 Interpretations will be sold for $55 at select Levi’s stores as of August 1 and online shortly after, with proceeds going to students at the California College of Art in San Francisco.

Turnbull & Asser makes it easy to dress like 007 with James Bond Collection
Channel Pierce Brosnan, Sean Connery, and Daniel Craig with the people that actually dressed them
Turnbull & Asser James Bond Collection Casino Royale bow tie

We love James Bond. It is no secret. And honestly, there aren't very many people who love men's style or as deep into the industry that will tell you differently. That is why he is often referenced in men's style guides, and there are websites dedicated to studying the sartorial excellence of MI6's most suave and debonair secret agent. Now, while James Bond's style is the stuff of legend, he is only as good as the brands that outfitted him. And one of the most legendary brands to dress the spy is England's iconic Turnbull & Asser. They are well known for Sir Winston Churchill's overalls and for outfitting Sean Connery, Pierce Brosnan, and Daniel Craig. Now, they have a way you too can dress like 007, with the Turnbull & Asser James Bond Collection.

Starting with Sean Connery, the collection has a pair of commemorative pocket silks. However, the main Connery piece replicates the light blue dress shirt with the unique cocktail cuff that is rarely seen today, which is notable for the turned-back look. It gives the French cuff appearance without the need for the cufflinks. Moving on to Pierce Brosnan, the most represented of the three. You have numerous shirts and ties from Tomorrow Never Dies, The World is Not Enough, and Die Another Day. Looking at the collection, we didn't realize how much Bond loved his geometric ties in that era. And finally, you can pick up the white shirt and black bowtie that took Daniel Craig's Bond back to the basics in Casino Royale. If you want to dress like Bond, it's best to do it by letting the people who actually dressed him do it for you.
