Bjrk is not bad dresser'

20th July 2011

(Cover) - EN Star Style - Michael van der Ham thinks it's "unfair" to call Bjrk a bad dresser.

The designer has created two gowns for the Icelandic singer's Biophilia multi-media project, which will see her touring different cities with her unique performances.

Michael was thrilled to have the opportunity to work with Bjrk, as he's always admired her individuality.

"I've been a fan of hers from when I was a kid" he gushed.

"Her work is seminal. Nobody in music does what she does. I think she dresses really interestingly; I love how she mostly wears independent designers. I think it's so unfair the way she sometimes is portrayed in the press in silly worst dressed pages just because she doesn't look like any other singer or actress."

Michael has explained how his collaboration with the eccentric songstress began. The creator feels he can capture the essence of her music perfectly.

"After I designed a dress for her to be worn during an Inez and Vinoodh shoot last year, she contacted me to see if she could borrow a new dress right after my show for a dinner she was hosting at London Fashion Week - it was so exciting," he told Vogue.

"Then, this year I invited her to my showroom in New York to have a look at my autumn/winter 2011 collection and now she has several pieces from the collection. I knew she was going on tour again, so I simply offered to do some special dresses that would fit the aesthetic of her new album." (C) Cover Media
