October 5th, 1962 was a big day for spy aficionados all over the world, for on that day a hero was born as the first-ever Bond movie, “Dr. No” premiered in theaters. People all over the world were enchanted by Sean Connery’s portrayal of James Bond. Mignon A. Gould, the founder of TheChicSpy.com, has said that Bond was and is the chicest character in the world of spy films, with his “international escapades, cool gadgets, and sophisticated style.”
The site that Gould created merges style, entertainment, and pop culture to create a unique mix of the chicest news on the web and the day dedicated to fictional spies was created specifically to celebrate the style of these legends in film and television.
She believes that such icons have forever influenced and continue to influence the very perception of class and elegance, from classic trench coats to oversized sunglasses. “The characters may be fictional,” says Gould, “but their style is real.” There is definitely no arguing with that.
