Björk, by Viðar Logi for Vogue Scandinavia, 2024
Styled by Edda Gudmundsdottir.
Björk tweeted:
'i am so honoured to be wearing this margiela dress !!
i got super mushy at the fashion shoot when i slipped on the prosthetic hips , it seemed such a full circle since the mannequin margiela-pieces i was wearing in the early 90́ s.
so wonderful how galliano threw away both of his and margiela ́s luggage and tapped into both of their beginnings .
i could see silhouettes of 1920 rooftop jumping irma vep vampires merging with margiela ́s first bellmer inspired poupée moment with a dash of duchamp ...
but then brought truthfully into 2024 by being all AI zombie like . is perhaps even jimbo there !? i wish .... such a profound thing ! i am so honoured to have gotten to wear this garment . i wore margiela for my first debut cover ( tinyurl.com/bjork-margiela ) so it is sentimental to me .
i would like to thank the wonderful viðar logi for the photos
and a special shout out goes out to edda gudmundsdottir and james merry for being my fashion team for my cornucopia tour , the outfits are chosen by me , refined and perfected in their hands . i couldn ́t do it without them .

JAMES MERRY | lamellae neckpiece // Bjork “fossora” album cover
“named after the gills on a mushroom, this piece was inspired by an idea Björk had to create a full silver neckpiece. so i designed something that would mimic the underside of a mushroom, transforming the whole neck into a series of metallic fungal gills…
handmade by me at my studio in iceland, from little pieces of wire individually hammered, shaped & drilled together
{ special thank u to jón einar who saw me struggling and bought me a proper silver drill so i could finish on time } ”

Ancestors loom large over the playlist this week, as Björk bands with James Merry, Andrew Thomas Huang, her son Sindri, and the Siggi String Quartet for a ritual trek across an Icelandic valley by way of tribute to the idiosyncrasies and transmutations of her mother. Wiki and Subjxct 5 pay homage to hip hop's mixtape era, while Wau Wau Collectif highlight the voices of children as they dedicate Mariage to the memory of Ousmane Ba, their deftly rippling flautist. Keeping the fires burning in the name of spiritual jazz, Wojtek Mazolewski attends to spiritual needs while surveying the breadth of his surrounds, Makaya McCraven imbues organic beats with lush orchestration, and Photay and Carlos Niño flow with the current. Tracks by Charles Lloyd, Aleksandra Słyż, Vanessa Amara, Lori Goldston, and Rainy Miller also feature in the latest roundup of new music.

deleting my dating apps because i want to meet someone the old fashioned way (i am brutally beating a man to death to maintain my extremely fragile status as captain of my pirate ship and you're my new lying ass fake cook with his silly little fake name witnessing the scene like you're both scared and horny)
