Camille Montes arrives in Quantum of Solace in a ginger jersey bandeau and a pleated, high-waisted skirt in bronze silk twill. The Jasper Conran bronze silk skirt is a small piece of costume, but a considered one: warm, easy and cut to move.
In the film
Camille, played by Olga Kurylenko, wears the skirt in her first scenes in Quantum of Solace (2008), paired with the ginger jersey bandeau. Both come from Jasper Conran’s Summer 2008 collection. A complete Jasper Conran outfit worn by Kurylenko in the film was later sold at Christie’s for £7,500, in the 2012 online auction 50 Years of James Bond. Her wardrobe is part of the picture of the world around Daniel Craig’s Bond.
The details of the Jasper Conran bronze silk skirt
Silk twill. Twill is a diagonal weave, and in silk it gives a fine, dense cloth with a soft sheen rather than a hard gloss. In bronze, it should take warm light well.
Pleated. The pleats give the skirt movement and let a short hem swing rather than cling. It is a more relaxed shape than a pencil skirt, and better for walking.
High waist. Cut high, the skirt balances its short length. Paired with a bandeau, it leaves the waist as the single point of definition.
Bronze, not gold. The colour sits between brown and copper. Against the ginger of the bandeau it forms a tonal pairing: two warm shades close enough to read as one idea.
Wearing it now
We should be plain about this one. It is a Summer 2008 piece, out of production, and any example is found second-hand; our button runs an eBay search for it. The better route is to look for the idea rather than the exact skirt: a pleated silk or silk-blend mini in bronze, copper or tobacco, cut high, in a fabric with some weight to it.
Style it in one warm colour family. A ginger or rust knit top, flat sandals or tan suede, and nothing shiny. We would keep the jewellery small. For evening, a plain dark cashmere jumper or a fitted black top turns the same skirt into something quieter.
Jasper Conran London still makes skirts. According to the maker, its current skirts come with pockets and matching detachable belts, which makes it a fair place to look for a similar spirit, if not the same piece. Our guide to clothing from the films is worth browsing alongside.

Questions
Who wears the Jasper Conran skirt in Quantum of Solace?
Camille Montes, played by Olga Kurylenko, wears it in her first scenes in the film. She pairs it with a ginger jersey bandeau top from the same Jasper Conran Summer 2008 collection.
Can you still buy the skirt new?
No. This exact skirt comes from a 2008 collection and is out of production. Jasper Conran skirts do appear second-hand, so it is worth searching, checking condition carefully. Failing that, look for a similar pleated bronze silk skirt.
What did the Camille outfit sell for at auction?
A complete Jasper Conran outfit worn by Olga Kurylenko in the film sold for £7,500 at Christie’s online auction 50 Years of James Bond, held from 28 September to 8 October 2012.
What colours work with a bronze silk skirt?
Stay in warm tones: ginger, rust, tobacco, cream and tan. For evening, we would choose black or deep navy, which lets the bronze look richer.
