Pay Attention!
The vibrant designer shop The Naked Ape,
located in a spacious second floor at Bankas-
træti, is undoubtedly the liveliest shopping
destination you’ll find in the city. Only a few
days ago, the shop experienced a complete
transformation, the floor was painted in
bright colours and the space stuffed with
brand new designer wear for the summer,
all for us shoppers to enjoy.
Naked Ape’s amazing variety of crazy
colourful street-clothing has made the shop
a hit among its arty clientele – people who
want to dress in cool yet comfortable cloth-
ing that complements well their outgo-
ing mentality. Since opening in 2005, the
shop has been most famous for the hooded
sweatshirts, T-shirts and leggings designed
by the owners and hand-printed with differ-
ent patterns, graphics and figures. The girls
especially love the long hoodies, perfect to
wear with thick leggings and a pair of boots,
and now there’s plenty to choose from.
In addition to their own fashion line they
offer a selection of Icelandic music, books
on art and design, accessories such as freaky
sunglasses, shoes, handbags and numerous
other curious things. Even adorable Hektoj
baby clothes from Copenhagen designer
brand Devandervar. As if all this shouldn’t
be enough, there’s even more to come. The
Smeilinener clothing line from Berlin will hit
the store any day now, as will all sorts of
crazy accessories form the New York based
jewellery company Arms and Armory. Today,
this large creative space is literally screaming
for joy!
