With the couture shows well underway, I wanted to share with you an eloquent, intelligent and provocative woman who would be my muse if I was a couturier. She is an amazing actress, and her personal style is brave and beautiful.
Tilda in Lanvin
I LOVE that she wore this Galliano for Dior Couture dress to the Baftas.
I could go into a massive biography about Tilda Swinton, but I will simply let the images do the talking. You can tell though that she comes from a prestigious scottish ariocratic background, merging with the military. She is an amazingly interesting human being, the more and more I read about her...however I will let you in on one little secret of hers, which I'm sure could raise a few eyebrows. It turns out Tilda is a little more interesting than even I could have imagined. The 68 year old father of her twins and huband of 18 years, John Byrne is not her only lover...she has an open relationship with a 29 year old lover - German artist Sandro Kopp!

Tilda is far and away one of my favorite actresses - an enormous talent, have you seen Orlando?
the portrait is gorgeous-whenever my husband paints me I look like a german expressionist drag queen.
tilda swinton is adorable. her personal style is really brave and i understand you completly: she's definetly an amazing personality.
Tilda is an incredible looking woman, and I respect her so much more (not that I didn't respect her to begin with) now that I know that little tidbit about her love life. I adore people who bend and break the social norm.

Her personal life is her business. Too many damn busy-bodies out there.
