"She's not a fashion person. She's an actress and clothes look great on her," explained Karl Lagerfeld of his longtime friend, muse, and collaborator Tilda Swinton . "I've known her for twenty years, and what's surprising is that her personality hasn't been affected: She's always looked modern avant-garde. She's as modern today as she was twenty years ago."
Lagerfeld was speaking about Swinton from the entrance of MoMA's rose-lined tribute to the actress, an event that brought in the likes of David Bowie , Sofia Coppola , Jessica Biel , Wes Anderson, and Iman . It was a Chanel-sponsored party—with no shortage of KL creations (Karlie Kloss , in jet-black Alexander Wang, was one exception) and no skimping on praise for the honoree, who happened to be celebrating her 53rd birthday in a cream-and-pearl-white pantsuit straight from the label's new collection.
"It's my birthday, and they're throwing me a party!" exclaimed Swinton upon arrival, moments later. What could be better? The fete, complete with a performance by electro-pop sensation Lorde that gave way to an elegant dinner, culminated with a rose-pink cake for the strawberry-blond siren.
"She stands alone because of who she is," related Ralph Fiennes . "In the end, actors are who they are; what's inside them defines them. And I think we're all here tonight because we recognize that she has a unique quality—not only as a woman but as an actress, as an artist. She has something special."
