▶ Vintage Dolce & Gabbana vest

Hertex

▶ Marks & Spencer jacket
▶ Jewlery made by me
Describe your style in 5 words:
That’s really hard because I like experi-
menting so much, but I think it’s a strange
mixture of grunge, street, posh, Y2K, and
vintage. My style is very dark but also kind
of Bratz, and extra.
Favourite stores in Reykjavík:
I mostly shop online but if I shop in
Iceland it’s mostly second hand. I like
Hertex and Fatamarkaðurinn
Favourite piece: Probably my white
faux fur jacket that I inherited from my
step-grandma. I rarely even wear it out
because it’s so precious to me. The jacket
is big and fluffy and pristine white.
Least favourite trend:
I would probably say trends are my least
favourite trends. In Iceland, some people
just seem to look on Instagram and wear
what others are wearing, but I think fashion
is way more fun when you use it to express
yourself. Nothing stays special if everyone is
doing the same thing, so I think if someone
is doing something extraordinary or special,
it’s ok to be inspired by it but you shouldn’t
copy it straight.
Lusting after:
Something from the new 2019 Spring/Sum-
mer Dior collection. They have these beauti-
ful bags with cool buckles.
And of course the Balenciaga Triple S
sneakers. I wouldn’t spurge on them, but if
they were gifted to me I definitely wouldn’t
refuse. I don’t know if I could wear them out
though, it’s like my fur jacket.
