Describe your style in 5 words:
I always say that I don’t really have one
style because I want to get into all
styles, but if I had to pick 5 words it
would be 70s, rock, glamour, weird,
and eye-catching. I never want to
be too clean or simple—I like bigger
things with patterns and sequins and
want to mix things together. Maybe I’ll
pair something 70s with something
that’s 80s or 90s. I always love when
someone sees something and says,
“Oh my god, that’s so you!” and it’s
just the ugliest, weirdest thing. I
love when people connect me with
something weird.
Favourite stores in Reykjavík:
Definitely Rokk og Rómantík for
rock-themed accessories like
chain belts and stuff. I sometimes
shop second-hand, but I don’t
buy a lot of clothes. Most of the
stuff I wear day-to-day I made
myself.
Favourite piece:
I went to Greece with my
friends once and bought
a floor-length mint green
shiny leather jacket with
white fur. It’s so ugly that
it’s beautiful. I love it.
Something you would
never wear:
I love patterns but I
don’t think I’d ever
wear zebra print. Is
that random?
Lusting after:
There’s no pieces that I’ve been eye-
ing but I’m going to make myself a red
pleather coat with fake fur soon.
