It’s summer! And that means on Fridays, everyone should be sneaking out of work a little bit early to go on a weekend jaunt or grab a drink on a sunny rooftop. The fashion industry, which works very hard, also knows a thing or two about how to cut loose. In our weekly Summer Friday column, we catch up with industry insiders to find out what they do, where they go, and what they bring with them when they escape the daily grind. Last week we went on vacation with supermodel/actress Tao Okamoto. This week we go on vacation with Esquire’s comely senior fashion editor, Wendell Brown.

Given the record-breaking success of this year's Alexander McQueen retrospective at the Met, museums would be smart to put more fashion in their halls. And if today's piece in WWD on museums "getting fashionable" is any indication, they are. Harold Koda, curator in charge of The Costume Institute at The Metropolitan Museum of Art, told the trade, “Clearly the critical as well as popular success of the McQueen show suggests that fashion design has a more secure place in the precincts of an art museum.” While any museum would be hard-pressed to recreate the magic that was "Savage Beauty," more fashion exhibits are popping up all over the world and several big ones are already on track to debut next year.

Tom Ford will dress Daniel Craig once again as James Bond, the Telegraph is reporting. Ford dressed Craig as Bond in 2008's Quantum of Solace. He'll dress Craig as Bond for the newest installment, Skyfall, due out in November 2012. Tom Ford is basically the James Bond of fashion (what does that even mean?) so of course he should design James Bond's razor sharp suits for the movies. Daniel Craig will wear bespoke suits, shirts, knitwear and sunglasses, with everything handmade in Italy. "I couldn't be happier to be dressing Daniel Craig again," Ford said. "James Bond epitomizes the Tom Ford man in his elegance, style and love of luxury. I am thrilled to move forward with this iconic character."
