Tilda Swinton Goes Bowie For Craig Mcdean Shoot

And I looked and frowned and the beauty was me…

British actress, Tilda Swinton, has often been compared visually to David Bowie and though there have been some convincing arguments to suggest that it is a look that she cultivates on occasion, many of the examples have been superficial.

However, a recent session with British fashion photographer, Craig McDean, looks to me like a definite attempt to recreate the feel of several different Bowie shoots. Even Tilda’s poses are very Bowie-esque in most of the shots.

I don’t think it would be too outrageous to suggest that Tilda is a Bowie fan, she’s the right age to have been swept away by Ziggy (two months younger than me) and you can just tell with some people…particularly if you have accurate Bowiedar.

Anyway, you can make up your own mind by viewing the whole session over at Beat Space Freshness.
