Reykjavík Grapevine - 11.01.2008, Side 28
Pay Attention! Júníform is a boutique clothing store on Hver- fisgata where owner and fashion designer Birta Björnsdóttir offers her highly personal one-off cre- ations. Six years ago, Birta came to the conclusion that she needed a studio of her own to develop her creativity and her love for design. The studio on Hverfisgata has slowly evolved into a shop that is today one of the most popular designer stores in town. For the first four years, Birta produced all items herself. She has since moved on to focus exclusively on the design aspect. Although Birta makes use of new special fabrics in her design, she also likes to use vintage dresses, making use of old fabric, or redesigning a classic garment. Many of her customers utilise her website to select dresses and then come in for a personal fit- ting. The fittings take place at the store or via mail if you don’t live near Reykjavík. The clothing is al- ways Birta’s own design but she adjusts clothes to the customer’s liking when required.
