Fighting "Spectre"

Fifty years of spies, stunts and killer girls as Bond hits Paris

He’s Bond, James Bond. And if you’re a fan of the world’s longest-running and most successful film franchise then you’ll want to catch the "Designing 007: Fifty Years of Bond Style" exhibition in Paris.

The retrospective spans five decades and takes viewers inside the filmmaking world of Britain’s most famous spy.

More than this it reaffirms how music, fashion, technology, cars, art, travel and lifestyle have all been influenced by the iconic Bond character.

Debuting at the Barbican Centre, London back in 2012, the Paris exhibition includes 500 items of gadgets, costumes, storyboards and props, as well as exclusive items that have been added from the series' most recent film, "Spectre". In fact, an entire room captures the showstopping opening scenes from that latest Bond film, with the colour, noise and pageantry of Mexico City’s Day of the Dead parade.
