Having been a long-serving member and part founder of UNDFTD, James Bond knows more than his fair share of sneakers and sportswear. Despite being only a few seasons deep, the James Bond for David Beckham adidas Originals by Originals collection has firmly entrenched itself in style and design language amongst the likes of Jeremy Scott and Kazuki Kuraishi. Upon a recent launch at Selfridges, we caught up with James Bond regarding his involvement and the goal of the capsule.

IN THE BAG: Along with all the renovations, beauty installations and designer shops added in the past years, there’s another new look at Bloomingdale’s — limited edition designer shopping bags. They’re created by Tory Burch, Elie Tahari, Marc Jacobs, Zac Posen and Michael Kors to commemorate the 59th Street flagship’s multiyear overhaul and will start being distributed early next month on days when each designer gets spotlighted in the store. It’s all part of Bloomingdale’s current campaign, Check It Out, geared to flag Bloomingdale’s new shops and updated B-way, and get another lift to the business through designer appearances and shopping events.

Lets start from the beginning, about two weeks ago a friend of mine called me [damn near out of breath] saying she had just seen a tweet that Marc Jacobs was doing a book signing in Savannah, GA. We immediately started making plans, fortunately enough my mom lives in Savannah and im always goin home for the weekends. Fast Forward a week later This time I happen to see the tweet saying the signing would be on Oct. 14 which worked out great [it was the beginning of our fall break from school], the only dilemma was a dentist appointment the same day At 1:00 which ended up getting rescheduled.
