Chanel reveals new Scottish-themed ad campaign starring Tilda Swinton
Fashion house Chanel has unveiled its latest ad campaign starring Oscar winning actress Tilda Swinton.
Swinton was announced as the face of the brand’s 2012-13 Métiers d'Art Paris-Edinburgh collection in February and follows in the footsteps of Lily Cooper (formerly Allen), Blake Lively and Brad Pitt as brand ambassador.
Appointed due to her Anglo-Scots background, the collection is inspired by Mary Queen of Scots with the campaign boasting a traditional Scottish look, ranging from tartan and Highland overcoats.
Speaking of Swinton’s involvement, Chanel’s lead designer Karl Lagerfeld, commented: “Tilda perfectly embodies the Paris-Edimbourg collection. She is of course Scottish, but more than that she is a modern woman, a timeless icon of elegance.”
