An alternative dinner suit

Someday, we’ll delve into why Bond villains, with their gumption in pursuit of grand ambitions and autonomy resulting from self-employment, have always been more aspirational to us than James Bond, the tail-chasing government employee.

But for now, we’ll leave you with these portraits of the inimitable Bernhard Roetzel, lensed by Tommi Aittala. Bernhard’s impeccable style is showcased in a custom Heron’s Ghyll Meridian Suit made from Maison Hellard French linen, evoking the glamour of Golden Age Cinema's most iconic figures.
