FANCIES is where we talk to Reykjavík's most fashion-forward figures about style
Birna Björk
Hölludóttir
Birna Björk Hölludóttir (23) works at Arctic Adventures.
Birna is wearing:
▶ Special edition Nike Airs for Foot Locker
▶ Worker pants from 66°North
▶ Necklace from Hildur Hafstein
▶ Off-White belt
▶ Off-White bag
▶ Black shirt
Describe your style in 5 words: “That’s
really hard. Street for sure, but really
whatever I feel comfortable in. I like to
mix street with high end, like Gucci
and Louis. But my style can also be
dark and pink. Black is for sure my
favourite colour.”
Favourite stores in Reykjavík:
“Second hand stores sometimes,
but I don’t shop in Iceland much. I
save up and shop when I travel or
buy things online. First now Farfetch
is my favourite online store.”
Favourite piece: “These pants from the 66°
North workman's section. I bought them
and I have been wearing them practically
everyday since then.”
Lusting after: “Off-White is getting me really
inspired right now. Jordans from Off-White
x Nike—the white ones are at the top of my
list. I am really into shoes right now, like all
kinds of brands. For example, Sketchers
have been catching my eyes lately.”
Least favourite trend: “Okay. I understand
you might have someone on Instagram that
is your favourite and you see them wearing
something and you are like, “Oh my God! I
want that.” But I like to be different. I don’t
want to be like others. I think Icelanders
are like this. They look at Instagram and if
someone has a lot of followers, they are like,
well this person wore this so I am going to
buy it. Icelanders are known for copying,
maybe because we are small. Copying is my
least favourite trend.”
