Issue 06— 2021
Regn Sólmundur Evu (24) is an art
student and comedian.
Wearing:
• Thrifted shirt, jacket & stockings
• Lindex skirt
• Handmade harness & earrings
• Nike shoes
• Kiko lipstick

Describe your style in 5 words:
Chaotic. Fun. Moody. Wild. 80s. It’s all
over the place!
Favourite stores in Reykjavík:
I love the Red Cross, Fatamarka!urinn
and Wasteland. I used to go there all
the time but now I just have too many
clothes! But I still check in every now
and again to see if I can find some
gems.
Favourite piece:
Actually, this top that I have
on is my favourite piece
ever. I found it 5-6 years
ago at Fatamarka!urinn
and I thought it was so
ugly that I bought it. It
has grown on me so
much. It’s so 80s—it
looks like a car-
pet—so I’m like an
arcade. I also have
some pieces by a
company cal led
Trash Queen that
make beaut i fu l
clothes that are all
handsewn and from
a queer person, so
that’s pretty cool.
Something I would
never wear:
I’d give everything a
chance, but maybe
not low-rise skinny
jeans.
Lusting after:
First off, I’d like Iceland to stop
deporting people. But clothes-
wise, I’m on the lookout for
some good cowboy boots.
Also a good corset, but I haven’t
found corsets in my size yet. Just
being a plus size non-binary person
is tough sometimes because it feels
like there’s so many rules about what
to wear and what not to wear so I’m
just on the lookout for things that
go outside the box that I am put in.
Non-binary people are supposed to
be androgynous and fat people are
supposed to wear loose clothing so
I don’t do any of that!
Regn’s official non-binary style tips:
Gender and gender expression is
not the same thing, so basically—
you can do whatever the fuck you
want with clothes! Clothes are just
drag and gender expression is just
drag, so you’re basically just doing
everyday drag when you get dressed
each morning. Having fun is the most
important thing. Don’t be afraid of
colour and don’t be afraid of going
outside the box of what people ex-
pect of you.
