Tilda Swinton

Swinton’s appearances in Haider Ackermann show how a few decisive lines can make an outfit memorable. Compare the dark, long-sleeved trouser suit at his 2017 Berluti debut with the lime-green Cannes skirt suit that year. Colour changes dramatically, but sculptural tailoring remains central. Her account of valuing Ackermann’s clothes for movement is worth keeping in mind: these are garments for a body in motion, not simply a striking still photograph. Choose this reference for shape and restraint.
