Sand Shark
Sand Shark is wearing:
* Tiny purple glitter top
* Fluffy jacket from Dolls Kill
* Skirt from TopShop
* Shoes from Dolls Kill
* The patch is from a con. It has
Marina and The Diamonds lyrics on it.
Describe your style in five words:
Colourful, glittery thot. That’s it.
Favourite stores in Reykjavík:
It depends on the time of year. For example, I
really enjoy that glitter-clothes become more
popular around Christmas. I have really been
liking the stuff at Zara and Júník right now
because it’s all so sparkly. But there’s not a
lot of stores here that sell the type of cloth-
ing that I really love. But I do love—when I go
dark—Rokk & Rómantík.
Favourite piece:
This pink furry jacket, and also my glitter
shoes. Glitter is my love. Just pour some glit-
ter on me and I’m good.
Something you would never wear:
That’s a hard one. The colour yellow I don’t
really like on me. I’ve seen other people pull it
off, though. You know that Icelandic fashion
mustard colour? No. Not gonna happen.
Lusting after:
Right now, what I’m focusing all my energy
into is getting my degree because I really
want to go to school in the U.K. to become a
costume technician. Making costumes and
making dresses is where my passion lies. But
I’m also lusting after biodegradable glitter to
be easily accessible here.
