SHAKEN NOT STIRRED

With 007 Skyfall on our screens at the moment it was only fitting that Harvey Nicholls top bartenders
Have come up with a cocktail menu in tribute to the eponymous Bond girl. 
 
 
 


Pussy Galore
Possibly the best known of the Bond Girls, Pussy Galore is the ultimate action girl. Stoli Hot Vodka, pressed grapefruit juice, agave nectar and Aperol. Tasty but with a kick!




Honey Rider
Arguably the first real Bond Girl, Honey Rider is the star with one of the most iconic scenes in cinematic history. Manuka honey is mixed with Martell Cognac, Punt e Mes vermouth and pressed lemon.
 



Tiffany Case
Supposedly born in a high end jewellery store, this Bond Girl is right up our street! Strawberries, Absolut Vodka and Chambord are topped with champagne and sparkle. .

 



Tatianna Romanava
This Russian beauty is one of our favourites. Absolut Vodka, elderflower liqueur and pressed lemon juice. Simple but stylish
  



Giacinta ‘Jinx’ Johnson
Who can forget that bright orange bikini! Absolut Mandarin, fresh carrot juice, pressed lemon and honey.

 



Solitaire
A truly mystical bond girl and part time tarot card reader. Beefeater 24 Gin, lemon juice, egg white, earl grey syrup and fresh apple.  


THE DRESS THAT TOOK SIX MONTHS TO MAKE

It took Approximately six months, according to Skyfall's costume designer, Janey Temime to make the iconic gown worn by 007's latest squeeze in Bond's 23rd outing. The wardrobe specialist was responsible for the black backless gown worn by Bérénice Marlohe in the latest 007 thriller - among many other pieces. 

"The dress features 60,000 crystals all applied by hand - it took six months to create. I was at breaking point," Temime said last night, prior to a special screening of the film. The gown features a sheer body covered with tattoo-effect transfers, a corseted bodice and floor-length satin skirt with sheer side panels- all covered in glittering Swarovski crystals - and has a starring role in the film posters. Marlohe's character, Severine, wears the dress during a casino scene, in which she meets James Bond for the first time. 

"We had to make six different versions of the body, so thatBérénice could change twice a day during filming," said Temime. "Each time she changed we had to sew the body onto the main part of the dress while she was wearing it - it was so delicate. It's a couture dress, really."   


Of course with any Bond girl, a certain amount of sex appeal is to be expected - and for Temime, that meant making Severine appear as "naked" as possible.

"The first time you see the dress is from the back," she said. "So you see this beautiful tattoo-effect across the sheer fabric -which we dyed to match her skin tone, to suggest that she was naked. This is my Bond girl and she had to look fantastic. It was a work of love."
