Michael Lo Sordo's iconic dress worn by actress Ana de Armas in 007 No Time to Die

Michael Lo Sordo created actress Ana de Armas’ iconic dress which features in the film No Tie To Die, the first Australian designer to create a dress for a James Bond film.

It was two years in the making since Michael Lo Sordo was first approached by costume designer Suttirat Larlarb to create a dress for the film shot in London. The film and actresses name were kept top select (in true 007 form) – with only the measurements given.

Michael was required to make 10 x identical dresses to shoot an action scene where the dresses were likely to be destroyed in the re-takes. The dress also featured in a black-tie scene.

Aptly named the ‘Bond 007 Paloma Maxi dress’ it has become Michael’s #1 selling dress globally with online orders coming in since the film posters appeared.
