I am honored...

What distinguished feature connects these five persons and give me the missing names..

Hurry up! Casino Royale is waiting!

X

Y

In 1886, X invited a wealthy banker and his wife for dinner at his estate. Because the banker was not sure about the dressing etiquettes, he directly sought X's advice. X sent him to a noted tailor and had him design a special dress for him, and the banker attended the dinner in that dress. On his return to home, he chose to wear the same dress to a local club Y to show off. The dress grew very popular there and has remained so ever since, and now is more popularly known by the name of the club. Give me X and Y and of course the attire we are talking about.

The Da Vinci Code said it all!

X

X invented something that bears his name. It is one of the most famous conundrums in the history of the subject. It is often found in nature, some instances being shown in the 2nd pic. What am I talking about?



P.S. Nobody has given the correct explanation of the 2nd picture collage!

Really, it's pure magic...

X

Y

Z

The term A was originally coined by X to refer to a rising art form known as the New Objectivity. Soon its application transcended just painting, and it became more closely associated with another form of art thanks to Y, who is deemed as the original exponent of this art. Z is one of the most famous exponents of this art. What am I talking about?

Each time you have one of them, you will remember him!

What common feature is shared by this gentlemen?

Be different!

X

X was a prominent Texas lawyer, politician, land baron and one of the signers of the Texas Declaration of Independence. He was also interested in cattle rearing and was an avid rancher. But for some reason, he never used to brand his cattle, contrary to the common practice. When asked about this, he told that he didn't want to hurt the animals. His competitors however insinuated that he did this because it enabled him to claim any unbranded cattle as his own! Other sources state that he didn't do it because he was too less interested in cattle rearing to spend his time in branding them. His surname has entered the English lexicon since then as someone that refuses to abide by the dictates of or resists adherence to a group. Identify X and the word.

This is just fabulous!

This painting Y by X had spawned a famous art movement Z.  X used vividly contrasting colours as early as 1899 and came to realize the potential of colour freed from its traditional descriptive role when he painted with Signac in the bright light of Saint Tropez in the summer of 1904 and with Derain at Collioure in the summer of 1905. When this painting was first exhibited, it earned the wrath of many art-critics, with one going on to say  "A pot of paint has been flung in the face of the public." A certain critic exclaimed after seeing the painting-"Donatello among the wild beasts!" This comment may have been partly induced by another painting (by a different artist) which was being exhibited near Y:

However this comment lent the art form its name, and now this art has become a cult phenomenon. Identify X,Y and Z.
