There is no
doubt Bjork is a creative individual and loves to express herself through the
forms of music, art and fashion. Bjork has such a strong personality and
artistic spirit and is really not afraid to show it off to the world. Her album
covers are really what caught my attention, it’s almost like she can adapt to
different looks in the blink of an eye and isn’t afraid to be noticed for her
individuality.

Bjork is a very
strong believer of feminism. She is always willing to stand up for women and
for their rights and urges everyone to do so. In an interview with Pitchfork.com,
she says “I thought, ‘you’re a coward if you don’t stand up. Not for you, but for
women. Say something.’” Here, she expresses her strong belief of women being
recognised and protected. The subject of feminism is becoming more recognised
as something to be worried about. Women want equal pay, equal rights and equal
opportunities, but the biggest thing they want is to feel normal. Women are
constantly sexualised and objectified to the point where they cannot even feel
safe. It should be a normal thing for a woman to do whatever she wishes and not
always feel attacked. In another interview with Pitchfork, Bjork explains her
views on feminism. She says “After being the
only girl in bands for 10 years, I learned – the hard way – that if I was going
to get my ideas through, I was going to have to pretend that they – men – had
the ideas.” This highlights the fact that some women feel that they need to ‘become
a man’ behind a screen in order to be taken seriously. Bjork’s fashion choices
have also been far from normal. Her infamous swan dress at the 2001 Academy
Awards will always be the highlight of her fashion choices, but she wore it
like it was the most normal thing to do.
