Issue 11— 2021
FANCIES is where we talk to Reykjavík's most fashion-forward figures about style
Lifestyle
Fancies is a Grapevine series where
we highlight an individual with su-
preme style. Our latest subject is
Kolbrún Anna Vignisdóttir (30), a
makeup artist and funky fashion
lover living in Reykjavík.
Wearing:
• Coat: Second hand from Depop
• Skirt: Hringekjan
• Blouse: The Red Cross
• Boots: The Red Cross
• Bag: Yeoman

Describe your style in 5 words:
I really love everything from the 70s
and I like to dress up and be extra!
Fun and unique patterns, texture
and colour are things I look for when
picking an outfit. I would sum up my
style as: 70s, colourful, groovy, chic
and fun!
Favourite stores in Reykjavík:
Second hand shopping is my favor-
ite! I buy most of my second hand
stuff from the Red Cross shops.
I also like to shop at Wasteland
and consignment shops like
Hringekjan. Yeoman, GK Reyk-
javík and Andrá are really good
designer shops I love to visit
too!
Favourite piece:
Without a doubt, coats in gen-
eral! I love coats and I kinda
collect them. Which means I
have way too many but they
are like art to me. I thrifted
my favourite coat from De-
pop and I absolutely love it.
Something I would
never wear:
I am really open to
the rapid changes in
trends. Even though I
have my favourite style
era, nothing is out of
bounds for me.
Lusting after:
Nothing at the mo-
ment. I’m a sponta-
neous shopper so
I hardly ever map
out what I want
next. I like brows-
ing vintage items
to see if there is
something I just
can’t resist!
