Academy Award-winning actress Tilda Swinton<\/a> has taken to our screens in collaboration with French luxury Maison Chanel to dissect her great love of the written word. For the series Rendez-vous litt\u00e9raires rue Cambon<\/em> (Literary Rendezvous at Rue Cambon<\/em> in English), Swinton stars in an episode of \u201cIn the Library With\u2026\u201d<\/a> chatting about the deep roots of her literary adoration for the 26 minute short film, noting where it all began, and how she would define her relationship with reading today.<\/p>\n

Citing her favorite authors, poets, and stories she\u2019s most likely to reread, Swinton<\/a> answers a plethora of questions for the fashion house from \u201cHow did reading come into your life?\u201d to whether her parents encouraged the activity. \u201cReading became quite a drug when I was 10\u2026\u201d recalling it was the pleasure of finding solace in being alone yet gaining companionship through the characters who came to life.<\/p>\n

Dubbing both Virginia Woolf\u2019s\u00a0Orlando<\/em> and Charles Dickens\u2019\u00a0Great Expectations <\/em>as the stories she\u2019s bound to read time and time again, Swinton expresses that they tend to feel different, or that she may perceive the tale differently during each new era of her life. Having first read each of these tomes during her most formative years, the stories bring her comfort, no matter how different they may feel throughout time. Describing Great Expectations <\/em>as a romantic love letter to one’s own humanity, therefore one’s own fallibility, Swinton finds that taking the time to absorb the literary classic doubles as an act to forgive one’s self for a great many things.<\/p>\n

Joining the likes of Chanel ambassadors Margaret Qualley, Charlotte Casiraghi, Anna Mouglalis to participate in the campaign, Swinton divulges her past history as a poet. Describing her shelved passion as a turtle she hopes will eventually come out of its shell, Swinton continues to write essays and plans to soon compiled all of her published works and curate a collection of pieces.<\/p>\n

Describing the act of reading as sharpening your wits, buffing up your brain, and clearing your lens, Swinton’s fond appreciation is palpable. Through her poetic description of reading and her illustrated history in\u00a0profound filmmaking, it’s clear that Swinton’s poignant deference for the art of story telling runs deep.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":31863,"featured_media":46793,"template":"","format":"standard","categories":[38,17,16],"yoast_head":"\nTilda Swinton Puts on Her Literary Cap for Chanel<\/title>\n<meta name=\"robots\" content=\"index, follow, max-snippet:-1, max-image-preview:large, max-video-preview:-1\" \/>\n<link rel=\"canonical\" href=\"https:\/\/graziamagazine.com\/us\/articles\/tilda-swinton-puts-on-her-literary-cap-for-chanel\/\" \/>\n<meta property=\"og:locale\" content=\"en_US\" \/>\n<meta property=\"og:type\" content=\"article\" \/>\n<meta property=\"og:title\" content=\"Tilda Swinton Puts on Her Literary Cap for Chanel\" \/>\n<meta property=\"og:description\" content=\"Academy Award-winning actress Tilda Swinton has taken to our screens in collaboration with French luxury Maison Chanel to dissect her great love of the written word.
