The swan in the room (with Techno Prayer)

The swan in the room (with Techno Prayer)

If you didn’t know who Björk was before this podcast, there was probably one thing you did know about her: her swan dress.

And while that dress does capture the audacity of Björk's style, it also obscures the sheer variety of her looks.

That’s something that Federico Protto brings to light through his Instagram. He runs a Björk fashion archive project called @techno_prayer on Instagram. He's also an accomplished designer who helped design a dress for Björk.

Here we'll talk about five looks from the Bjork fashion archives. Federico will explain what they look like, who designed them, and why they matter.

And don’t worry… we will address the swan in the room.


Here's a link to the looks we're discussing so you can follow along: https://www.savannahwright.net/bjork-fashion-archive
