Style Icon: Björk's Homogenic

Looking like a geisha that might be seriously tough instead of being a docile submissive servant, björk covered her 4th studio album as a warrior. Her interpretation was that she would be a warrior that fights with love, not weapons. Designed by the late Alexander McQueen and photographed by Nick Knight the transformation seemed quite powerful and captivating. With nearly 10 kilos of hair upon her head, special contacts & an extreme manicure björk captured a true warrior pose. This iconic image is forever stylish and has spawned both gross imitation & flattery.

Are you familiar with björk?

Enjoy!

“It is important to look at death because it is a part of life. It is a sad thing, melancholic but romantic at the same time. It is the end of a cycle—everything has to end.”  

– Alexander McQueen, 2010


Must death be seen as a sadness? Can death be a pleasure? It is said that there is pleasure in a little death. I once read somewhere that love, sex & death were synonymous. It seems that perhaps the French agree. For you see there is a phrase “Le Petit Mort” and translated it refers to the Little Death. It is coined in reference to the achievement of spiritual, mental or physical release of an orgasm & the feeling of melancholy that transcends the experience. The “life force” that is expended through the chemical release of the body produces a loss, a pleasurable loss, albeit a loss.

So perhaps when you next take pleasure in death remember its but a little death and you should be enjoying it.

The pleasure is all mine.

Enjoy,
Kisses. m.
