Oh, Tilda. You magical, spectacular, androgynous robot creature. What would the world be without the weird ones, the paradigm-shifters, the men and women who fell to earth, we ask you?  Swinton takes the definition of fierce, wrestles it to the ground, and says quietly in its ear, “Let’s do this my way.” The queen of androgyny awes me with her captivating editorial in W Magazine which was shot on a futuristic Icelandic landscape by photographer Tim Walker. He captures Tilda wearing many looks including Blumarine, Céline, Chloé, Zero + Maria Cornejo and Comme des Garçons. Tilda plays her usual albino alien androgynous awesome self and nails it!

I'm also leaning more and more towards an androgynous personal style these days. Simple, clean, a-stereotypical and minimal. Although the traditional idea of androgyny may arouse squeamishness or revulsion in some, and bring to mind medical and sexual pathology or freakishness; the contemporary image of the androgyne as a beautiful youth of indeterminate sex is one that fascinates me. Androgyny is based on gender ambiguity and an androgyne is a figure of uncertain gender in whom identifying sexual characteristics are stylized or combined (most popular in western art and literature are angels who have no sex/gender, you may remember Tilda Swinton playing a bespoke suit wearing Gabriel in the movie Constantine). What I'm most interested in is identity, and I find fascinating the question, "How do we identify ourselves, and how do we settle into other people's expectations for our identity?"
