Ford confirmed the news Monday during men's fashion week in Milan as he was preparing to open his new five-story, 11,478-square-foot menswear store in Milan's "Golden Triangle" luxury shopping district. "It's a terrific representation for us," Ford said. "A lot of people think if you wear conservative clothing your life is dull and uninteresting. But James Bond is this character who is sophisticated yet he sleeps with three girls at once and (has a car) with parachutes coming out of it. His life is very interesting, so I thought it was a good fit." It's not too much of a leap, since Bond actor Daniel Craig was one of the first celebrities Ford dressed in his namesake men's line launched last year, which has a traditional, English bespoke feel.
