Icelandic songstress Bjork has long been known for her eccentric, wild, unusual fashion sense. Quite possibly the most bizarrely fashionable female icon in the music industry right now, it can be a tricky task to dress like her, but here are a few tips to achieving the Bjork-esque style!

Instructions

Difficulty: Moderately Challenging

Things You’ll Need:

  • Sense of daring
  • Attitude
  • Wacky wardrobe

Dressing Like Bjork!

Step1
Wear a lot of orange and other bright colors! Bjork is not one to step away from bright colors. You'll never see Bjork in a drab or monotone outfit. Wearing all black is definitely not her forte. She is often spotted in the color orange, quite possibly the hardest color in the rainbow to pull off.
Step2
Don't wear purple! Bjork has been quoted as saying that she's "highly allergic" to the color purple. She has never been spotted (at least in public) sporting purple. So make sure to avoid this color if you want to dress like the Bjorky one.
Step3
Remember that "anything goes"! Bjork showed up at the Academy Awards in 2000 wearing a swan draped around her neck. This is definitely not something you'd see Halle Berry, Charlize Theron, or Reese Witherspoon wearing at a public event. Don't be afraid to take risks. Though wearing a dress with swan parts on it might seem daunting, Bjork had everyone talking about that gown for days, weeks, and months after the fact.
Step4
Wear feathers and ruffles! Bjork must have an affinity for birds, because she's often seen trying to dress like one (including the aforementioned swan look). Many of her outfits are based around feathers, almost as if she's trying to emulate or morph into a colorful, exotic bird. Bjork is also often spotted wearing ruffly, frilly outfits.
Step5
Simulate Far Eastern styles! Bjork is often rocking the "geisha" style look. In fact, there have been many pictures of her actually dressed like a geisha. Bjork seems to have a soft spot for the Eastern look, as she is often wearing kimonos, China dress collars, and other outfits of that ilk.

Tips & Warnings

  • Bjork's outfits are often very wacky - so if you're going for her look, be prepared to get a lot of stares from strangers on the street!
