Christoph Waltz will play ‘the coolest Bond villain ever’ (according to GQ) in ‘Spectre’ due to hit cinemas on November 6th. You can’t see what he’ll be wearing yet – in the teaser trailer, he’s masked in shadow but in the long tradition of Bond villains, a dinner jacket and possibly even a Nehru jacket are likely to feature somewhere.
In conversations with Chris recently, it turns out, between his father and himself, they’ve made suits for no fewer than four Bond villains.
#1 Valentin Dmitrovich Zukovsky
Golden Eye (1995)
The World Is Not Enough (1999)
Played by Robbie Coltrane, Zukovsky featured in two Bonds. Mr Eddie made a cream dinner suit and a blue mohair and grey mohair for the films.
#2 Alec Trevelyan
Golden Eye (1995)
Played by Sean Bean, Alec Trevelyan was the British agent 006 who turned traitor. Mr Eddie made the charcoal suit he wears in several scenes.
#3 Alex Dimitrios
Casino Royale (2006)
Played by Simon Abkarian, Chris made the silk linen three piece suit Dimitrios wears at the Ocean Club in the Bahamas where Bond relieves him of first his car (the DB5) and then his girlfriend.
#4 Le Chiffre
Casino Royale (2006)
Played by Mads Mikkelsen, Chris made the velvet dinner jacket Le Chiffre wears at the poker game at Casino Royale in Montengro as well as the dark suit (actually brown) he wears to meet the Ugandan freedom fighters in one of the opening scenes.
