Describe your style in 5 words: It’s yin and
yang. One day, I’ll be comfy looking, like a
pink schoolgirl Lolita-style, then the next I
am in black with chains, skulls and fishnets.
My style is yin and yang and also childish. I
have Peter Pan syndrome. I don’t think I will
ever grow up.
Favourite stores in Reykjavík:
: I don’t really shop here. I shop online
or when I go abroad, but I like Fata-
markaðurinn near Hlemmur.
Favourite piece: Probably this jacket or this
catsuit I got from Nasty Gal. It has chains
instead of straps and zippers. I really love
chains and other grungy looking stuff, like
nets and lots of rings.
Lusting after: On every site I shop at, I
always have a full cart to look at, and right
now I want more from Fashion Nova. I also
always want more teddy bags. But to be
honest, I already have my dream closet, so
right now I am just changing my clothes
rather than buying new ones. I like to up-
grade stuff, like I did with this top.
Least favourite trend: I am sorry to say, but
I really don’t like the Spúútnik look right
now. I’ve been shopping there since 2008
and they always had cool stuff but now—
maybe it’s because I don’t dress super
trendy—I can’t find anything. They put
something in and people always buy it but
I don’t like the look. It also used to be really
cheap and now it’s very expensive. But I’m
happy that people can have weirder style
today. When I was younger, you could barely
be yourself. If you wore something strange
everyone would be like, “What the fuck?”
But now strange is normal. I like that.
