Whistles Muse: Bjork. When she burst onto the UK pop scene with her cover of ‘It’s Oh So Quiet’ in 1995, the Icelandic singer favoured cropped fluffy jumpers, satin mini-dresses and shrunken tee’s, her own sugary take on casual 90s dressing.
As her career progressed, so did her exploration into conceptual dressing and her wardrobe became a mash-up of colour, texture and cultural references. The ‘Swan Dress’, designed by Marjan Pejoski, is perhaps Bjork’s most memorable look to date. In 2001, the singer famously mimicked laying an egg on the red carpet before entering the Academy Awards and performing ‘Ive Seen it All’, a duet she co-produced with Radiohead’s Thom Yorke. For an ultra wearable take on Bjork’s idiosyncratic style, couple dramatic texture with a palette of bright white and powdery pastels.

From goth heroine and teen prodigy to the ultimate 90s Gen X poster girl, Ryder continues to intrigue audiences with her talent and gamin looks. With her latest movie The Iceman in cinemas nationwide, we take a look at her style.
