Tilda Swinton has been tapped to front the campaign for Chanel‘s super fancy Métiers d’Art collection, and as usual, we’ve got a sneak peek right here.

Karl Lagerfeld put on quite the show this past December in Edinburgh, Scotland, showing a collection of cozy and luxe wares rendered in tartan, argyle, and tweed. So it’s only fitting that a Scottish woman front the accompanying campaign, and of course, Karl picked Swinton:

“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 elegance.”

The ads will break in the June issues of magazines, but you can sneak a preview of the actress hamming it up for the designer below:
