In I Am Love, Italian filmmaker Luca Guadagnino’s 2009 drama about the breakdown of a wealthy Milanese family, Tilda Swinton wafts through beautiful rooms impeccably dressed in a minimalist wardrobe of mauve, tomato red and cobalt blue by Raf Simons for Jil Sander.
When I first saw the film, I was captured by her clothes, but I also marvelled at the house she inhabited, an austere monument to 1930s Italian rationalism that had as much character as any of the actors gathered within its walls.
