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
Edda Hulda Ólafardóttir (25), a law
student at the University of Iceland
and second-hand fashion lover ob-
sessed with jackets and coats.
Wearing:
• Faux fur coat: Extraloppan
• Co-ord set: Red Cross
• Shoes: Kalda shoes
• Earrings: Spúútnik
• Ring: Gyllti Kötturinn

Describe your style in five
words:
My style can be many
things and it changes all
the time, but if I had to
summarise it in five
words I would say
it’s colourful, extra,
funky, chic and fun.
But as I said, my style
is many things and it
varies from time to
time and also accord-
ing to my feelings.
Favourite stores in Reykjavík:
The majority of my clothes
are bought second-hand, so
definitely all the thrift shops
around town, like the Red Cross,
Spúútnik, Extraloppan and Lóla
Florens to name a few. I also
love Hildur Yeoman’s clothes,
she’s an Icelandic designer and
has a boutique in Laugavegur.
Favourite piece:
I have to admit I’m obsessed with
jackets. My favourite one is prob-
ably a violet faux fur coat that I
thrifted from Extraloppan. I have a
crazy amount of jackets and coats
and I was always joking that when I
buy my 100th jacket, I will have to
throw a party. So when that hap-
pened, I celebrated the achieve-
ment with my friends. I had lined
my coats in the living room, and all
my friends picked one to wear for
the night. It was such a fun night.
Something I would never wear:
That’s a hard question to answer,
because I might not wear one thing
by itself, but when it’s paired with
something else it might look good.
Also, my style is constantly chang-
ing, so something that I wouldn’t
find wearable right now might be-
come the thing I’m obsessed with
next week. But if I had to mention
one thing I’m pretty sure I will never
put on, it would be Crocks.
Lusting after:
Faux fur hat for the winter! I really
need it, but I haven’t found one yet.
