Björk Connects Two Eras of Mugler
Björk and Mugler make a compelling match, particularly when you consider their shared fascination with nature, technology and transformation. But this collaboration goes far beyond simply wearing a fresh-off-the-runway look.
On the same day Miguel Castro Freitas presented his Mugler Spring 2027 Naturalia X collection, Björk wore a custom look for a DJ performance in Poland.
Her look combined the collection’s purple butterfly-print second-skin top with a black leather corseted high-waisted skirt, but it was the headpiece that connected Castro Freitas’ Mugler with one of the house’s most celebrated chapters. Björk wore a fringed feather creation from Thierry Mugler’s legendary Les Insectes Spring 1997 Haute Couture collection.
That archive addition feels particularly apt considering Naturalia X explores the relationship between nature and technology, the artificial and the primal. Castro Freitas has also described Björk as a longtime inspiration.
Her involvement extended to the runway presentation itself. ‘Öll Birtan’ featured on the soundtrack, while excerpts from the Venus as a Boy and Possibly Maybe music videos appeared in Casper Sejersen’s visuals throughout the venue.
For me, seeing Castro Freitas’ new Mugler paired with a piece from Thierry Mugler’s 1997 insect-inspired Couture collection is the real thrill here. Björk was never going to settle for simply wearing the runway look as presented.
