Reykjavík Grapevine - jul. 2021, Side 27
FANCIES is where we talk to Reykjavík's most fashion-forward figures about style Lifestyle 27The Reykjavík Grapevine Issue 07— 2021 Ska!i "ór!ardóttir (44) is an artist. Wearing: • Sweater from Aftur • Legwarmers from Pole Sport • Shoes from Kjólar & Konfekt • Unknown tights • Eyeshadows from NYX Describe your style in 5 words: Punk. Extravagant. Different. Per- sonal. DIY. Favourite stores in Reykjavík: I guess I have to say Aftur first be- cause I’m wearing something from them! I also really loved getting stuff at Kvart!ra "49 (RIP), but unfortunately they closed. Right now, though, I really love shopping at Pole Sport, where I do aerial gymnastics, pole and hoop. They have all these leg warmers and I really love those because there’s such a confidence that comes from wearing leg warmers. You just feel like a sexy dancer! Other- wise, I like checking out Rokk & Rómantík, Kjólar & Konfekt, Kóla- porti# and the Red Cross. Favourite piece: Definitely my Ash- ley Williams dress. It’s made of pink leopard print velvet and just looks so good on me. I also love tights and catsuits for my stage looks. I have so many that I’ve bought in a variety of sex shops. You have to have con- fidence to wear them, which I like. This sweater is also super nostalgic for me because it has a metal vibe to it, full of skull and fantasy imagery. I love it because I used to be a metal- head—or, well, I’m still a metalhead! But this sweater goes well with red and I always love to wear some red eyeshadow and lipstick. Red is one of my favourite colours. Something I would never wear: I don’t like wearing brown clothes. It’s just not really me, even though I do have some brownish stuff. I’ve also never been comfortable wearing suits. It’s probably something to do with being a trans woman—suits are so con- nected with the male gender that it always feels wrong to me to wear them. I even once had a designer that wanted to make a tailor-made suit for me to model and I declined. But, you know, I think I would look pretty good in a suit now! I think I definitely need to find one now and wear it just because I said here I never would. Lusting after: I really love to be surprised when I’m shopping. I usually have vague ideas of what I want, but it’s always nice when you find something new and unexpected and say ‘“Wow! I look really good in this.” Ska!i "ór!ardóttir Words: Hannah Jane Cohen Photo: Art Bicnick Fjallkonan is a new lively restaurant & pub in the heart of Reykjavík offering a selection of Icelandic and international dishes from local ingredients.
