Child's Value Hannah Montana Costume (Small 4-6)

Product Information

Yet two decades later, Björk’s sartorial flight of fancy no longer looks like a faux pas but a fashion masterpiece. Bjork wore Pejoski’s poofy pink organza pleated-lantern dress to Cannes and ended up winning the best actress prize. But the designer’s team did not know her plans for the swan dress. The social-media outburst — unexpected and weird, but also earnest, earthy and poetic — was quintessential Björk. After all, this is the artist best known to the general public for wearing a swan to the Oscars.

YESSS !! , eruption !!” she wrote as the volcano flared up just six miles from her home in Iceland. “We still got it !!! sense of relief when nature expresses herself !!” Amsterdam:“Julia Roberts won Best Actress that year . . . and I just remember thinking, ‘Wow, Björk is actually getting more from these photographers than Julia!’ ” Michael Caulfield, photographer, Associated Press (1992-2001):“I will never forget that moment when she walked up thered carpet. I wasn’t sure if it was a political statement or she was promoting a movie . . . After she passed by, I don’t think there was a single photographer who talked about anything else.” Björk later auctioned her Oscar dress for the charity Oxfam, but Pejoski still has a version, which in recent years has been exhibited at MoMA and the Metropolitan Museum of Art. In 2014, Valentino designers Pierpaolo Piccioli and Maria Grazia Chiuri paid tribute to the swan dress in their spring couture collection. Christophe Bop, embroidery designer, Marjan Pejoski (2001):“Marjan was very big in the London fashion scene at the time, and he was good friends with Björk. In 2001, [she] was working on her ‘Vespertine’ album, and the album was like a winter tale, very atmospheric. So when she saw the swan dress, she loved it because the swan is like a winter animal and it fit the spirit she was in perfectly.”Y tho? 13. The gal loved to layer. 14.Is an outfit without a belt really even an outfit? 15. No pattern is too aesthetically displeasing for our girl Hannah Montana to get around. 16. To be fair, clashing was HM’s ‘thing’. Cosgrave:“Designers had actually been vying to dress Björk that year [for the Oscars]. She was staying at the Chateau Marmont [in West Hollywood], and a lot of designers’ representatives . . . were sending clothes to her. One of the designer reps I interviewed for my book said that she encountered [an assistant] at the swimming pool wearing clothes that Björk had been sent.” While she was in Los Angeles, she posed for the cover of her upcoming album, “Vespertine,” in the same dress. She later told Interview magazine, “I don’t really know why I’m obsessed with swans,” but added that they were “very romantic, being monogamous . . . Right now, swans seem to sort of stand for a lot of things.” Normally, it would be hanging up, but it was in this plastic shopping bag like you would get at the supermarket.Iwas a little skeptical, because when you hold the dress up on its own, it’s just like a bunch of feathers. It was kind of hard to see exactly what this thing would look like, but I could see it was a head of a swan.

Scott Rodger, Bjork’s manager (1996-2010):“I can’t verify that . . . [but] like every nominee, you get approached by every possible designer for clothing and shoes — as well as jewelry designers. That was never Björk’s style. She would always be the one making the approaches to people she admired and respected.Steve Granitz, photographer, WireImage (2001-present):“People were just staring at her. I think they were kind of in awe. Everyone was frozen, almost like in slow motion.”
