"I saw the
photos in the newspaper and a bit on TV on Monday morning," said the
London-based designer, who claims to have slept right through the main event.
"It was my birthday, so that was a present."
And while some
designers, especially the young ones, might make themselves available to the
worldwide press after such a coup, Pejoski, 33, took the day off instead.
"I'm
usually not very interested in the Oscars," he said. "It's a bit stale
and, to me, the people who are supposed to be the best dressed look very
old-fashioned."
The designer's
kooky Fall collection, his third since graduating from Central St. Martin's two
years ago, was inspired by carousels, ice skating costumes and, well, birds. It
included not only a prototype of his now-famous downy creation, molded and
stitched entirely by hand, but variations on the theme and a whole flock of
birdie sweaters.
Of course, this
isn't the first time Björk and Pejoski have teamed up to cause a stir. She also
wore one of his splashy confections in pink to Cannes last year.
"There
aren't too many people who know what they want in their lives," Pejoski
mused. "They need to have a million and one assistants to tell them and
show them and stitch them and make their personality. With Björk, what you see
is what you get. She is herself at every moment."
While he hardly
expects to dress anyone for next year's ceremony, Pejoski does seem intrigued by
the idea of shaking things up. "I didn't expect the swan dress to shock
people," he said with a hint of glee. "I know it's slightly different
than a dress that someone else might wear, but if it shocked people, then they
should be shocked.
Maybe it's the beginning of a new era."

AND THEN WE HAD
THE COMEDIANS
(AKA: "Wankers who get their thrills out of picking on other people who
unlike themselves aren't afraid to be individuals")

"The
People's Choice" hosted by comedian Kevin James got a huge laugh when James
came out dressed in a swan dress, and claimed he found he look first. "The
truth is that I had the outfit first. I just find it funny that I have to defend
myself for a trend I started," James said during the show, as a video clip
showed the swan-clad actor shopping, golfing and running down the beach at
sunset. What a funny guy NOT! |

Well
instead of parading around (looking absolutely terrible I must add) and saying
things like "well it could be called business-casual", Ellen DeGeneres
probably could have thought up a more romantic and creative pick up line for
hitting on björk. But we
all know from her own show "Ellen" that creativity is not one of her
strong points. By the way Ellen you really should stick to 3 piece suits with a
tie, it's definitely more you.
Björk likes men darling!!!! |
