Tilda Swinton

^i have to agree with you there heatheranne....tilda just doesn't strike me as this current incarnate of a chanel face. she's so much cooler and has worn cooler stuff in recent months. to tell you the truth i could see her more as a dior girl than chanel simply because she fits raf simons' aesthetic more.

She was at the Acne show in Paris and I saw her and her boyfriend. What a stunning woman, I was amazed!

Tilda is so much cooler than Chanel's clothes at the moment, I'm sure it will turn out fine, but I'm not excited about the pairing.

I'd agree completely if this was for another collection, but i think she's just PERFECT for the pre-fall with all the scottish (costumey) gowns. to me she looks amazing already in that on-set photo. i can't wait to see the full result

i love what she's wearing too. just so classic and put together but always unpretentiously nonchalant.

 

[Not Plain Jane]

She's amazingly beautiful and stylish - wow!

I'm the only one who thinks she doesn't suit Chanel?
I don't see anything in common between her style and the actual Chanel.

only the chanel that coco envisioned but not the current karl aesthetic.

Oh, how I've longed to see Tilda in a gown again.

 

[Not Plain Jane]

She just exudes peace and confidence. And so the way she wears clothes, any clothes really, is regal. What a presence this woman has!

 

[physicalgraffiti]

YES YES YES! Goddess

 

[educo]

Can this woman get any more PERFECT!!! Jesus Christ!!

Uh...good for her, I guess.

As if starring in David Bowie music videos wasn't already the coolest, Tilda Swinton has currently taken up residency sleeping at MoMA. It's part of an unannounced, surprise performance piece called "The Maybe" that will be taking place on random days all month. A MoMA source told us, "Museum staff doesn't know she's coming until the day of, but she's here today. She'll be there the whole day. All that's in the box is cushions and a water jug."

"Tilda Swinton will be doing unannounced, random performance art pieces sleeping in a glass box in the museum," the source added. "Today is the first performance. Each performance lasts the whole day the museum is open." Swinton and her box are located near the ticket collectors today, but the box may be in different locations at other performances.
"The Maybe" was first performed in London in 1995 at the Serpentine Gallery; Swinton conceived the performance piece, and asked artist Cornelia Parker to collaborate on the installation. Swinton later re-performed the piece in the Museo Barracco in Rome. Here's what the museum has to say about the piece:

An integral part of The Maybe's incarnation at MoMA in 2013 is that there is no published schedule for its appearance, no artist's statement released, no no museum statement beyond this brief context, no public profile or image issued. Those who find it chance upon it for themselves, live and in real—shared—time: now we see it, now we don't.​

For more awesome Swinton action, check out the speech about Bowie that she gave at the opening of the huge Victoria and Albert Museum "David Bowie Is" exhibit this week.
