Bjork

It's about time someone took another crack at the iconic and all-important 'swan dress,' originally donned by Icelandic singer Bjork at the 2001 Academy Awards. We just weren't expecting it to be Valentino.

New blog Part Nouveau, or ‘partly new’, delves into fashion history to showcase the inspiration–be it art, photography or design–behind some of today’s biggest fashion moments. It’s fascinating and impossible not to get lost in, so we asked the site’s founder, Lilah Ramzi, to give us a little history lesson each week. This week's lesson: Could Annie Leibovtiz have inspired Bjork's famous swan dress?

The Met Ball is like the Oscars for the fashion industry: all the best people in all the best dresses. This year's theme, punk, presents an interesting conundrum: will people go all out, liberty spikes and Givenchy nose rings and all, or just throw some studs on a Chanel suit and call it pseudo-punk?

It's hard to believe, but the granddaddy of all red carpet events - THE ACADEMY AWARDS! - is only two days away. Can you tell we're excited? Really, we are. Obviously, our favorite part of the entire evening is the arrivals: Who's there, and more importantly, who they're wearing. Above all, we want to see who's bold enough to take the fashion risks - because those are the dresses we'll be talking about the next morning. And those who really make a mark could end up on a list like this one in twenty years time! Behold, our choices for the fifteen riskiest red carpet Oscar looks of all time. Some are great, some... not so much. But the best ones are an amazing combination of both. Read on as we take a look back at some of the most fashionably daring dames on Hollywood's biggest night.
