Describe your style in 5 words:
“Whatever feels right in the
moment.” That’s six! Is that OK?
For me, everything depends. I
love wearing black because I
love observing people and I
don’t always feel like I need
to stand out. But if I feel I
want to wear purple, I’ll
wear purple. Sneakers,
tracksuits or dresses—
everything depends.
Favourite stores in
Reykjavík: That’s a good
question. I love vintage
stores because you can
find some pearls and
interesting things. Of
course Hildur Yeoman as
well and some concept
stores. There, you can
find some little treasures
or something special. I don’t
like fast fashion.
Favourite piece: Right now, it’s
these boots. They are new so I’m
still excited about them. I have
mainly all black clothes so I am
pretty excited about colour
right now. They are also super
comfy and I think as time goes
on, I give more and more value
to comfort in shoes, so a super
comfy boot is like gold to me.
Something you would never
wear: There’s nothing. I saw I
had to answer this question and
I was like—no, there’s nothing I
wouldn’t wear.
Lusting after: A grey tracksuit
that matches my hair.
