There are many labels that I love, for example ELM, gowithjan and STEiNUNN.What inspires you? Uniforms and Icelandic nature.Who is your style icon? They are many; Marilyn Monroe is one of them.Who is your favourite designer? Vivienne Westwood, Sonja Rykiel, Marc Jacobs, Viktor & Rolf and Agent Provocateur, and many more.What piece that you designed yourself are you most happy about? My headbands.What's this thing you have with hair? I believe that the hair of the woman is her own crown, and I have always loved hats and headpieces.Best cities for fashion? For me it is Paris and London right now.How do Icelanders dress? Just like they want to dress.If not a designer, what would you do? Farmer's wife. Future plans? For now it is Paris.What's your favourite thing about life in Reykjavík? Waking up very early on a Saturday or Sunday morning and walking around Reykjavík with coffee in my hand. -hbv Feature Articles News in English Shopping and fashion Mest lesið Endalaus þrautaganga Haraldar eftir svörum Innlent Benedikt Sveinsson er látinn Innlent Tuttugu konur saka Mohamed Al Fayed um kynferðisofbeldi Erlent Höfuðstöðvar nýrrar ríkisstofnunar verða á Hvolsvelli Innlent 20 létust og 450 slösuðust þegar talstöðvarnar sprungu Erlent „Afleitt“ að sjá Yazan gerðan að leiksoppi í deilum ráðherra Innlent Sjálfsagt að skoða að semja við önnur ríki um að hýsa erlenda fanga Innlent Vitorðsmaður viðurkennir að hafa gert það sama og Pelicot Erlent Átta ára tók fjölskyldubílinn, ók í Target og fékk sér frappó Erlent Blöskrar markaðssetning á réttum: „Þetta eru eins og jólin fyrir okkur“ Innlent
