I Am Love

If  you are a “Classic” personality, Tilda Swinton epitomizes the eternally modern “classic” in this clip, right down to her proper Hermes Birkin.  This is great inspiration for any classic wardrobe. If the Birkin is beyond your budget, Longchamp is certainly a fantastic substitute. The description below of Tilda’s wardrobe evolution is phenomenal.  Kudos Nowness.com. Great styling.

Where the villa signifies prestige, wealth and, in its sprawling gardens, Emma’s essential loneliness, the costumes of I Am Love tell their own story. Says costume designer Antonella Cannarozzi, “In an environment dominated by luxury, Emma had to be the supreme synthesis of luxury itself, yet purified by the trappings of power. She had to be an iconic image, solemn, like in Russian art.” The team tapped Raf Simons at Jil Sander for Swinton’s wardrobe, a succession of ultra-modern looks that mirrors Emma’s mental state as her character develops. “At the beginning,” says director Luca Guadagnino, “she is walking the streets of Milan, almost like a chameleon, dressed in the color palette of the buildings. Then she enters into this beautiful love affair and passion ignites her-and she expresses this outburst of joy and energy with very bright colors.” The male characters, meanwhile, wear sharp suits by Fendi, embodying what associate producer Silvia Venturini Fendi calls the “family style.”
