Not surprisingly, she soon after became the lead Viktor & Rolf's Fall 2003 collection, titled 'One Woman Show'. Viktor & Rolf are known for highly conceptual fashion collections which balance intellect with beauty. Leading the show like a magnificent piped piper, a dozen or so models followed after, their makeup and coiffure mimicking the natural paleness and red head hair, which the actress is famous for. Luxury and design repetition forged a collection of excessive
proportions. The garments, based on black and white design menswear classics, seemed to mutate, divide and blossom like
flowers.
In recent time past, Tilda used her acting finesse in collaboration with the director of Paris’s Museum of Fashion, Olivier Saillard, 'The Impossible Wardrobe'. In the duration of a performance at the Palais de Tokyo in Paris, Tilda wore a simple muslin dress, protective gloves and beige pumps. Walking up and down a ground-level runway, she bought historical fashion garments to life by ‘performing’ them. A Schiaparelli evening cape, ceremonial tailcoat (once owned by Napoleon) and a Fortuny ‘Delphos’ dress were carried, clutched and draped across her form as she acted each out before a live audience.
Tilda is a true muse of our time, and it’s her reverence for the power of fashion that inspires a greater appreciation of her work and her ability to move between genres of performance at large.
Tilda is definitely a muse of mine.
