To mark the much-anticipated release of the newest 007 film, No Time to Die (2021), Selfridges teamed up with some of the high-end department store’s most iconic brands and designers on a collection of clothing, accessories, memorabilia and gifts impressive enough to rival Q’s line-up of spy gadgets.

Selfridges Head of Menswear Buying (and self-confessed James Bond fan), Jack Cassidy, talks us through some of his favourites – from Bond-inspired ready-to-wear courtesy of nostalgic streetwear label Throwback, through to the collectible 1,295-piece Lego Aston Martin set – perfect for every die-hard 007 obsessive.

007 JAMES BOND – 12 Days of Bond paper-wrapped advent calendar

Whether you’re buying for a Bond super-fan, or treating yourself, the luxury 12 Days of Bond calendar is packed full of excellent 007 gifts and collectibles inspired by the film series. “The Bond advent calendar is the best way to countdown to Christmas,” says Jack, “and it’s filled with great gifts, too – the cocktail jigger, pocket square and martini truffles are my favourites.”

Globe-Trotter x James Bond No Time To Die large check-in travel suitcase

“This Globe-Trotter No Time to Die suitcase was inspired by the brand’s cases used in the film,” says Jack. “It’s super-durable, and the green-and-black colour combination is really nice, too.” Designed in the brand’s durable vulcanised fibreboard with a black leather trim, it has a black leather luggage tag embossed with the No Time To Die logo. So, wherever you’re going (jet-setting like Bond from Italy, to Jamaica, the Faroe Islands and beyond, perhaps?), you’ll definitely get there in style.

The London Sock Exchange x James Bond Shaken cotton-blend socks

“Wear these with your work suit for a subtle nod to 007,” says Jack, on these No Time to Die-inspired socks by The London Sock Exchange. For your feet only, The Shaken socks have been woven with Bond’s favoured tipple motifs and made from a super-soft cotton blend. Just add your most dapper suit, freshly polished loafers and your best Bond smoulder.

007 JAMES BOND… I’ve Been Expecting You coir doormat

“This is definitely a welcome addition to any Bond fan’s home,” says Jack, of the 007-inspired brushed coir doormat. “The line – from 1977’s The Spy Who Loved Me – is a classic.” Place the hardwearing doormat at your front door and get into the Bond spirit every time you get home from work, before enjoying a delicious martini – shaken, not stirred, of course…

Throwback x 007 Tolerate Failure T-shirt

Throwback – the go-to Italian streetwear label for nostalgic hoodies and tees featuring snapshots of our favourite film and TV moments – has added Bond to their pop culture roster, just in time for No Time to Die’s release. The six-piece capsule collection pays tribute to iconic moments from James Bond, with Italian digital artist Gianpiero reimagining classic images from the 007 archive. “The 007 Tolerate Failure tee features a behind-the-scenes image of Blofeld’s Siberian cat from 1964’s Dr No,” says Jack. “This one’s a great everyday T-shirt for true classic Bond fans.”

LEGO Creator 10262 James Bond Aston Martin DB5 play set

The 1,295-piece James Bond Aston Martin playset is a perfect replica of the souped-up, gadget-filled Aston Martin DB5 from Goldfinger, regarded by many as the most beautiful Aston Martin ever produced. “This will make a really fun gift,” says Jack. “The finished set is filled with surprises – a revolving number plate, an ejector seat and super-detailed interiors.”

Back to where it started: Giorgio Armani Men’s SS22 explored clothing that frees instead of constricting

Giorgio Armani Men’s SS22 fashion show celebrated the return of the live runway show.

Giorgio Armani Men’s Spring Summer 2022 collection is imbued with a particular sense of lightness: weightless materials, shapes that fluidly caress the body, a calm and nonchalant attitude.

On Via Borgonuovo, Milano, the place where it all began, Giorgio Armani explored once again the idea of clothing that frees instead of constricting, of carefree thoughts instead of carelessness, of classic as proof of progress. He does so by observing the times in which we live, the shared sense of style that is increasingly moving away from formality and decisively embracing the informality of sportswear. However, Giorgio Armani never gives up his sense of pertinence, which is an idea of dignity, of disdain for any excess — even when he reaches the height of nonchalance, even in the liberating gesture of legs uncovered by Bermuda shorts.

The suit is revamped in its shapes, proposing the idea of coordinated top and bottom: an evening shirt with a stand-up collar or a denim jacket-like cut combined with trousers with darts made in the same pinstripe wool, or a gilet-jacket with Bermuda shorts.

A sporty way of dressing—dynamic, comfortable and bold—made up of instinctive and essential choices and colours that span from blue to sandy hues and chalk white, with pops of red and green that recall the world of nature — always in harmony, of course. Here are some of the key looks from the Giorgio Armani SS22 Men’s Collection which showed in the historic headquarters in Via Borgonuovo 21, Milano, Italy.
