Bjork is back with new album Biophilia and the promo shots are cool. They are by Inez and Vinoodh and m/m Paris. But my question is who designed the clothes? She wore Alexander McQueen on Homogenic and Hussein Chalayan (who just recently changed his label to Chalayan) on Post (which I saw at his exhibition in Tokyo which made me squeal. It wasn't the paper jacket she wore on the cover but it was like I'm looking at fashion history here and I'm going to have an aneurysm). 

Can we have a Bjork moment? Yes we can.

I used to have this poster on my wall when I was a teenager. It was fucking huge. I was obsessed.

Sednaoui also did the cover of Kylie Minogue's 1997 album Impossible Princess. They used to date.

Lady Gaga's Born This Way Single Cover


This is the cover for Lady Gaga's new single Born This Way. I believe it was shot by Nick Knight. What struck me the most about this image is not her augmented face (this was done at Alexander McQueen's spring 2010 show). What's interesting to me is that she's not wearing any clothes. Of all the current pop stars Lady Gaga is a high fashion clothes horse so to see her wearing nothing is interesting to me because this is still a striking image. She isn't relying on Noritaka Tatehana hooves or spun sugar Armani dresses to jack up her persona.
