Tilda Swinton For W Magazine: August 2011 Issue 2011-07-11 13:22:38

Tilda Swinton has never been afraid of showing off her androgynous unique sense of style and her editorial for W magazine is no exception. The actress graced the front cover of its August issue decked out in a masculine-inspired Salvatore Ferragamo silk velvet tuxedo jacket, Acne trousers, Patricia Underwood for Chris Benz hat, and Sermoneta gloves complete with a matte face and daring red lips. Signature Tilda style, who appropriately cited her father as her fashion inspiration: “From childhood, I remember more about his black patent, gold livery, scarlet-striped legs, and medal ribbons than I do of my mother’s evening dresses," said Swinton. "I would rather be handsome, as he is, for an hour than pretty for a week.” Check out more of Tilda in the slideshow, then read the rest of her interview at WMagazine.com.
