works at Fab Lab Reykjavík.
Wearing:
• Boots from Rokk og Rómantík
• Black jeans
• Corset from Vampire Clothing
• Shirt from Morticia in Helsinki
• Collar from Devoir De Chatonne
• Bag from the goth market at the
Wave-Gotik-Treffen festival

Describe your style in 5 words:
A blend of different types of goth,
but mainly industrial goth, fetish
goth, and a little tribal goth. Other
than that, it’s very dark and dom.
Favourite stores in Reykjavík:
Rokk og Rómantík is nice. I also love
when Loft does the Swap ’Til You Drop
events. But I usually shop online or in
other countries. My favourite online
shops are Vampire Clothing for cor-
sets and Cyber Dog for more extreme
things. There’s a store in Helsinki
called Morticia, which has some very
cool stuff, but my favourite place for
shopping is the giant goth market at
Wave-Gotik-Treffen, the biggest goth
festival in the world. That’s where I
got this bag.
Favourite piece:
It’s probably this stomach belt/cor-
set that I got from Morticia. It’s al-
most a corset but it doesn’t have
boning. I really prefer buying blank
shirts or pants and then adding cor-
sets or other things to make the out-
fit special and this belt really makes
everything look cool.
Something I would never wear:
The worst thing I can imagine for
myself would be pink velvet pants. I
don’t like the touch of velvet so that
would make me so uncomfortable!
My daughter loves pink so I love buy-
ing pink things for her, but I don’t
like it on me. That said, I like when
people dress the way that makes
them happy, so when I see someone
enjoying their clothes—even if it’s
not my style—it makes me happy!
Lusting after:
I really want to finish this dress that
I’m half-done making. It’s a tight, pin-
stripe, modular dress with big see-
through puffy black sleeves that can
be removed. Over that, there’s going
to be a big hoop skirt, with the hoops
connected with 3D printed scales
that can also be removed. So if it’s
just the dress, it’ll be really classy, but
with the sleeves and the hoop skirt it
becomes very goth and extreme.
