Tilda Swinton’s is very much a woman who does not play it safe. This applies to her daring film choices and her fashion sense.
We are more likely to see Tilda wearing designers with an edge or a touch of eccentricity like Christian Dior, Lanvin and YSL.
For her BlackBook September 2008 editorial, Tilda wears a lot of Rodarte, a look that fits her so well, but one that she has not worn yet on the red carpet. But to be fair, it may be hard for even Tilda to make the Rodarte designs translate well on the red carpet.
Her are some extracts from her interview:
On making her own clothes: “I wore a dress the other day that I made when I was 15 or 16… It was hand done, because I had never learned how to operate an electric sewing machine. Maybe that’s the reason I like wearing hand-made clothes, because I really appreciate the work that goes into them.”
On her favourite designers, Viktor & Rolf: “They made a really personal and slightly untidy and vagrant attitude in me really beautiful in the clothes they created–and that’s really a dream.”
On Rodarte: “Their clothes have attitude. And the physical quality of their clothes is delicious… You can feel that hands made their clothes.”
On winning an Academy Award: “The Motion Academy of doo da – what was it called? The prize is probably the most famous in the world. For months, at least, people can tell you who won the Oscars, but nobody really knows who wins the Pulitzer Prize or the Nobel Peace Prize. It’s shameful, but true. A lot of people really want one – really, really want one. And I’m embarrassed because I never did, and I feel a little ashamed that I was given one when I didn’t really want one.”
On who gave her the nickname ‘Swilda’: “The only person I ever met who called me Swilda, who gave me that name, is Matt Dillon… I don’t know. Maybe he was drunk.”
