♥ i am love.

last week, i watched the film, i am love (2009).

if you have the time and have netflix at your fingertips, i suggest that

you stop everything you're doing, make some popcorn and get ready

to sit back and watch a visually stunning, heart-achingly gorgeous film

about an italian family possessed of wealth and touched by intrigue.

tilda swinton's performance is superb. in particular, her fluid italian

conversation mixed with a russian accent. second only to her acting is her

wardrobe in the film, which includes luxury brands like jil sander and fendi.

costume designer antonella cannarozzi worked exclusively with raf simons of

jil sander to create costumes which spoke volumes without the reserved,

inhibited character played by swinton, having to utter a word.

(watch the trailer.)

i have often read about tilda swinton's connection with the fashion world

but have never really understood the fascination until now.

here is a video she made for the spring/summer 2010

campaign for pringle of scotland.

and here are some of her 2010 pringle of scotland ads. notice how her

androgynous & unique beauty lends itself to the campaigns of both

the men and women's-wear collections? love, love, love!
