Stylish spies: Kingsman The Secret Service and MR PORTER team up to create new menswear label

06 January, 2015

James Bond is not the only well-dressed British spy this year. Kingsman: The Secret Service, an upcoming action-spy film, will feature a stylish wardrobe put together by the costume designer and director in collaboration with men's style website MR PORTER. Bond Lifestyle will take a first look at the clothes and accessories, which will be available later this month. The pieces are inspired by Savile Row tradition and some brands are known quite well to Bond.

Kingsman: The Secret Service is based upon the comic book by Mark Millar, and tells the story of a super-secret spy organisation that recruits an unrefined but promising street kid into the agency's ultra-competitive training programme - just as a global threat emerges from a twisted tech genius. The movie stars Colin Firth, Taron Egerton, Michael Caine, Mark Strong and Samuel L. Jackson, and appearances of Adele (singer of the SkyFall theme song), Elton John, Lady Gaga and David Beckham. The film will be released in the United Kingdom on 29 January 2015, and on 13 February 2015 in the United States. Watch the trailer below:

MR PORTER set up a pioneering new business venture with acclaimed director Matthew Vaughn, through the creation of a new menswear label, Kingsman, inspired by his forthcoming feature film, Kingsman: The Secret Service. The entire bespoke 60-piece Kingsman menswear collection, which is featured throughout the film, will launch exclusively on MR PORTER on January 13th 2015.

Mr Vaughn and the team at MR PORTER worked closely with award-winning costume designer Ms Arianne Phillips to design and create iconic pieces inspired by Savile Row tradition, and made by the best in British production including Bremont timepieces, Cutler and Gross eyewear, Drake’s ties and pocket squares, Corgi knitwear, Crockett & Jones and George Cleverley footwear, Mackintosh outerwear, Swaine Adeney Brigg accessories and Turnbull & Asser shirting.

Some of these brands are featured in James Bond films. Most famously Turnbull & Asser shirts and ties, which were worn by Sean Connery, Pierce Brosnan and Daniel Craig in their Bond films. Crockett & Jones shoes are worn by Bond in SkyFall (and maybe also in SPECTRE). Swaine Adeney Brigg created Bond's famous suitcase in From Russia With Love. This black leather case with red lining is still available. Finally Cutler & Gross sunglasses were sported by villain Dominic Greene (played by Mathieu Amalric) in Quantum of Solace.

The Collection

Below you can find some of the pieces that will be featured in the film. More details on who wears which pieces will be announced later. The Kingsman collection will be available in January on the MrPorter.com website.

Comments

A few weeks ago Crockett and Jones confirmed that the lace-up boot is their well known model Coniston. So there you have another JB-brand for the shoes. http://www.crockettandjones.com/news/index/kingsman-the-secret-service
The Oxford and patent leather Kingsman shoes on Mr Porter look very much like the Crockett & Jones Hallam and Overton. George Cleverley do use Crockett & Jones for some of their shoes manufacture.
