Hi Tom
Ford 108 Sunglasses Earlier
in the year it was thought that Daniel Craig's sunglasses in Quantum
of Solace had been correctly identified as Oliver Peoples Airman,
leading the company to reintroduce the discontinued model. Such
is the marketing appeal of the James Bond brand that at least one
optician in London began promoting them heavily, with some 007 collectors
purchasing them ahead of the premiere in the belief that they appeared
in the film. However,
it became apparent in September that the model sported by the James
Bond actor was in fact designed by Tom Ford and so similar to the
Airman are they that some people have accused Tom Ford ripping off
the Oliver Peoples design. Tom
Ford is responsible for all the clothing in Quantum of Solace, and
worked with costume designer Louise Frogley to provide both tailored
clothing and casual wear. These include suits, shirts, ties and
accessories that include the Tom Ford 108 sunglasses.
