Best of Reykjavík 2020

Tanja Huld Levý
Guðmundsdóttir, Artist
Describe your style in 5 words:
Playful. Quirky. Comfortable.
Layered. Maximalist.
Favourite stores in Reykjavík:
I really like vintage stores like
Wasteland, Spúútnik, the Red
Cross, and Fatamarkaðurinn. I
just love browsing and trying to
look for some gems. For jewel-
lery, I really like Orrifinn. I am
really picky about jewellery be-
cause I don’t like it when it’s too
cute—Orrifinn is perfect for my
style.
Favourite piece: Difficult ques-
tion! My favourite designer is
Jeremy Scott so I would have to
say that my keyboard dress that
he made in collaboration with
Adidas is a favourite.
Sand Shark,
Fashion
Student &
Cosplayer
Describe your
style in 5 words:
Colourful, glittery
thot. That’s it.
Favourite stores in
Reykjavík: It depends
on the time of year.
For example, I really en-
joy that glitter-clothes be-
come 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 clothing that I
really love. But I do love—when
I go dark—Rokk & Rómantík.
Lusting after: Right now, what
I’m focusing all my energy on
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
in Reykjavík.
Jófríður Ákadóttir,
Musician
Describe your style in 5 words:
Star Wars. Japanese. 70s. Subtle.
Annie Hall.
Favourite stores in Reykjavík:
I like second-hand shops like
Hertex, Spúútnik, Wasteland,
and the Red Cross shops—all
of them. I try to buy only sec-
ond-hand. I also love Hildur
Yeoman. She always has amaz-
ing things.
Favourite piece: I own a
dress from Ellery that
I wore on my album
cover, but you can’t
see it because the
cover is just my face.
That’s one of my
favourites . I
also own a lot
of stuff from
Hildur Yeo-
man that I
love. I’m
a bit of a
minimal-
ist when
it comes to
fashion, so I don’t
wear a lot of pat-
terns. But when I
wear the Hildur
stuff, I’m in a
different mood.
When I wear a
pattern, I really
wear a pattern,
so I usually do
p a t t e r n - o n -
p a t t e r n - o n -
pattern.
