After David Bowie, now it’s Karl Lagerfeld who has roped in English actress Tilda Swinton to star in Chanel’s latest ad campaign.

The 52-year-old Academy Award winner will appear in this Scottish-themed advertising campaign for the 2012-13 Metiers d’Art Paris-Edimbourg Collection of the brand when it will hit the billboards this May.

About Tilda, Karl said, “Tilda perfectly embodies the Paris-Edimbourg collection. She is of course Scottish, but more than that she is a modern woman, a timeless icon of age.”
