Björk has been unveiled as the cover star for the April-May issue of Vogue Scandinavia, marking her debut for the fashion bible.
The Icelandic music icon, 58, stunned in John Galliano’s hand-painted dress for Maison Margiela that made waves across the world for its nude illusion effect.
Björk’s show-stopping cover dress first appeared on the spring/summer ’24 Haute Couture runway in January this year.
She told the publication in the accompanying interview: ‘I am so honoured to have gotten to wear this garment.
Björk had worn Margiela pieces from her own wardrobe for the cover of her first solo album Debut in 1993.

‘When I put on the Margiela dress, and I slipped on the prosthetic hips, it seemed like a full circle moment.’
Björk also opens up about her unique creative universe and her Icelandic identity, saying: ‘I’m not a typical Icelander, really.’
Elsewhere in the full interview, the legendary musician reflected on more than 40 years in the public eye and her most iconic fashion moments.
She has been a voice for climate change for more than 30 years in her native land, because she ‘knows she can make a change’.
She told the Guardian in December last year: ‘Always in Iceland, where I know it can actually make a change – which later maybe could be an exemplary case [internationally].
‘We have the largest untouched natural area in Europe and a lot of us feel like guardians of this, you know, the way that you guys are guardians of whatever… ‘ she laughs. ‘Brexit, maybe?’
Björk shares her daughter with ex Matthew Barney, who she parted ways with in 2013, following 13 years together.
In recent years, since her split from Matthew, Björk has lived pretty much full-time near Reykjavik, where she was witnessed a huge surge in tourism.

The singer has alluded to him running off with another woman in her 2015 heartbreak album, Vulnicura.
After the couple’s split, Isadora spent the autumn semester in her mother’s native Reykjavik and attended high School in New York’s Brooklyn Heights in spring. She also had a personal tutor, who accompanied her in Europe and the US.
In an interview with Pitchfork, published in January 2015, Björk said her split with Matthew was ‘the most painful thing’ she had ever experienced.
She is also the mother of Sindri Eldon Þórsson, 33, from her brief marriage to musician Þór Eldon.
