'i am so honoured to be wearing this margiela dress !!
i got super mushy at the fashion shoot when i slipped on the prosthetic hips , it seemed such a full circle since the mannequin margiela-pieces i was wearing in the early 90́ s.
so wonderful how galliano threw away both of his and margiela ́s luggage and tapped into both of their beginnings .
i could see silhouettes of 1920 rooftop jumping irma vep vampires merging with margiela ́s first bellmer inspired poupée moment with a dash of duchamp ...
but then brought truthfully into 2024 by being all AI zombie like . is perhaps even jimbo there !? i wish .... such a profound thing ! i am so honoured to have gotten to wear this garment . i wore margiela for my first debut cover ( tinyurl.com/bjork-margiela ) so it is sentimental to me .
i would like to thank the wonderful viðar logi for the photos
and a special shout out goes out to edda gudmundsdottir and james merry for being my fashion team for my cornucopia tour , the outfits are chosen by me , refined and perfected in their hands . i couldn ́t do it without them .

"Good Times, Bad Times" Led Zeppelin: the very first Zeppelin song heard all over the world
Any day is good and every day can teach us new things.
Have a nice day!🤗 🫶 ☀️ 🎧 🫶 ☕
"Good Times, Bad Times" was the first Led Zeppelin song that the whole world heard in 1969, because it was she who opened the debut record of the Zeppelins, which became something truly new in rock music of that time.
The first song performed by the Zeppelins in public, apparently, was "The Train Kept A-Rollin'", with which they opened their performances in 1968, but the setlist of the debut concert in Denmark has not been preserved.
The original title of "Good Times, Bad Times" was "A Man I Know", it was written by all four Led Zeppelin musicians, but Robert Plan's name was not indicated on the first copies of the debut album due to his contractual obligations with another company.
The main riff in the song was composed by bassist John Paul Jones, and he came up with it first on the Hammond electric organ, according to him, it was one of the most difficult for him not only to write, but also to perform. Jimmy Page recorded the guitar part on a Fender Telecaster guitar, which was given to him by his former colleague in The Yardbirds, Jeff Beck. The solo was played through a Leslie speaker with rotating horns to create an appropriately "swirling", psychedelic sound.
Robert Plant's vocal part was overdubbed twice to enhance the effect in "Good Times, Bad Times". Many, including Jimi Hendrix, noted John Bonham's powerful drumming, which was very different from the usual style of drummers of the 60s.
Good Times, Bad Times" was planned to be released as Led Zeppelin's first single, but in the UK it was decided to abandon them in favor of full-length albums. In other countries, the song was still released, in the USA it was released two months after the release of the debut, there it reached only the 80th place on the Billboard chart, in Canada its result was slightly better - the 64th line, but the song performed best in the Netherlands, breaking into the local TOP 20.
And in 1971, "Good Times, Bad Times" could sound almost funky.
On December 10, 2007, at the concert in memory of Ahmet Ertegun, Led Zeppelin began their performance with "Good Times, Bad Times", performing it in its entirety and in a more familiar style, later it was released at the Celebration Day concert.
And although it's hard to imagine right now that "Good Times, Bad Times" was the first Led Zeppelin song that was heard all over the world back in 1969, in fact it's already a fact of musical history.
