First of all, did you recognise this photo as one of the mighty
Tilda Swinton? Many before you haven't. With full tranny make-up, when usually she goes minimalist, she is a bronzed goddess of flamboyant beauty. In that incredibly androgynous way of hers. I know it is not to everyone's taste, but I love it. And I love it even more as she uses it to celebrate the fourth annual issue of
Candy, a magazine aimed at 'transvestism, transexuality, cross dressing and androgyny, in all its manifestations'. Good for her.
James Franco and Chloe Sevigny have featured in the mag previously, so it has the ability to attract big stars, but none as appropriate as Tilda.
The story was shot by Xevi Muntane for Candy. It was styled by Jerry Stafford and the dresses were by London designer Antony Price.
