At the Academy Awards in 2001, as she soared past the paparazzi in a swan-shaped dress by the indie designer Marjan Pejoski, Björk literally laid a fashion egg on the red carpet. Her outfit was widely panned in the media, but Björk had the last laugh, becoming one of the most enduring fashion icons of our time. In W’s November 2017 issue, the Icelandic superstar lives up to her reputation, in a daring, fantastical fashion story by the photographer Tim Walker. See all of the images, which were taken in Iceland, here. Plus, read Björk’s interview with herself.
