“Tilda Swinton is the twenty-first century icon of androgyny. The mix of masculinity and femininity has followed her from childhood, as she remembers the court uniforms of her military officer father. ‘I remember more about his black patent, gold livery, scarlet-striped legs, and medal ribbons than I do of my mother’s evening dresses,’ she says. ‘I would rather be handsome, as he is, for an hour, than pretty for a week.’”
