One Dress a Day Challenge
September: Bond Films
Dr. No / Joseph Wiseman as Dr. Julius No
Of course, one of the most memorable parts of Bond films are the villains, and Dr. No's look has become iconic--so much that Mike Meyers borrowed his costume virtually unchanged when he wanted to evoke a quintessential 1960s villain in the Austin Powers films.
The suit is understated, sleek, minimalist, almost devoid of color. The cut and high collar are certainly meant to suggest the "Mao suit" or Zhongshan suit, but the tunic portion lacks the pockets and buttons of that style. And then, of course, there are the ominous-looking shiny black gloves--part of Dr. No's artificial hands, of course, but they also suggest black gloves for "dirty work."
