British actress Tilda Swinton covers the Spring/Summer 2009 issue of AnOther Magazine and stars in an exquisite editorial that celebrates the future of British couture.
Shot by photographer Craig McDean, Tilda’s unusual looks and introverted demeanor as a celebrity was the perfect match for such an editorial with dresses by Louise Goldin, Mark Fast, Craig Lawrence, Peter Pilotto, and Mary Katrantzou designed and made exclusively for this editorial.
In addition to the regular cover featuring Tilda Swinton in a black Mark Fast dress, a very special limited-run version with Tilda wearing a pink ribbon dress will be available exclusively at Selfridges Oxford Street during London Fashion Week.
