Iceland’s Fashionable Princess

This story is going to sound weird from the get go.  And I am okay with that.  When you consider the central figure it seems fitting.

So,  the other day I was in Whole Foods and I was talking to the butcher about Iceland (I told you this was going to get weird…) and he made a comment about how they’ve had a hard time recovering from their  economic crisis,  especially considering their biggest export is Björk.  I laughed.  The butcher laughed.  Lukus laughed.  We all laughed.  (To be clear,  we were not laughing at Iceland’s economic difficulties,  but at the thought of Björk being a major export)

Later that evening,  while perusing my normal internet haunts,  I stumbled onto an article on Björk’s just released new album,  Biophilia.

That’s when I realized it was a sign.  It was a sign that I needed to share some of the most memorable fashion moments from the always-eccentric Björk.

Wait—are you telling me you are only familiar with the notorious swan dress??

But there is so much more to Björk that makes her a fashion icon!  After all,  it wasn’t for just anyone that Alexander McQueen designed a jeweled facial mask.  So yes,  I meant it when I called her a fashion icon.

You with me?

Okay,  then sit back and enjoy the sweet stylings of Iceland’s pop princess…

What do you think of  Björk’s wild wardrobe?
