**GQ: You can tell there's a big difference between Bond and Q just by the way they're dressed. **

Jany Temime: In that first moment they are together, I had very little time to establish a character. It's not like meeting someone and having a drink. When Q arrives in the museum, I wanted Bond to think he's just a nerd or a student—that's why I used that duffle coat. But first, I put glasses on Ben Wishaw. What he had on was very expensive, like the Margiela jacket under his duffle coat. They were modish, nerdy, expensive clothes that nobody else would recognize—except for another computer wizard like Q.

GQ: What other ideas did Daniel Craig have?

**Jany Temime: He was saying things like, "I want a tab trouser, **slim fit, and a light jacket with little padding." I wanted certain details, like one streak on the back of the jacket. The first time we see Bond in the film, Daniel said, "I really want to look shoddy." So out of fifty leather jackets, I chose one from Levi's Vintage—an old-fashioned style that you'd forget easily. He also wanted a very fine scarf around his neck at the end, so I chose one from Tom Ford, a very expensive scarf made from the finest cashmere.

We spent a lot of time on the last sequence. He wanted to look as though he had found the scarf in the Bond family's home. Another one of Daniel's ideas: When he's playing the chauffeur in the airport, he was the one who said, "I want to have a blue peacoat. I know Billy Reid makes very nice ones." So I ordered ten pieces, and I must say, they put this little piece of leather on the back and it is beautiful. And paired with the chauffeur hat he's wearing, it gives Daniel a sort of boxy look. The unusual shape makes him completely different, you know?

**GQ: Definitely. But why did Daniel want a scarf? **

**Jany Temime: **One of the reasons was, of course, the human side of the character. He wanted to show that Bond needed some sort of protection. It was a psychological thing, something that was supposed to be from his family. And when you look at him without that dark scarf, it's a little too happy. I needed the blue for all the dark to bring out the coldness and the sharpness of his eyes.

GQ: Let's talk a bit about Javier Bardem's character, Silva. He has a more flamboyant style than Bond. It looked like he was wearing a Prada print shirt...

Jany Temime: Ah, very good, it was Prada! The rest was made for him. I was addicted to the Prada shirt, because it had just the right level of lightness and expensiveness. I'm not going to call it "bad taste"—the graphic of that shirt is beautiful—but it's not Bond; a gentleman wouldn't wear that. Silva is slightly nouveau riche, and I wanted to show that he did his best to impress Bond. I did the entire costume around that shirt. The connection with his complexion was just brilliant.

**GQ: Right, and it defined his character without being too loud. **

Jany Temime: Yeah, that's very difficult, because he has blond hair. Javier's a great actor, but he knows that when you give an actor that caliber a blond wig, a forced chin, an artificial smile, and contact lenses, you have a lot already. I had to gradually bring in elements that he was used to. First, the shirt, then the darker colors, then the white jacket. Silva was one of the most difficult characters to establish for me.
