Brand: REY
Designer: Rebekka Jónsdóttir
Zodiac: Pisces
The brand: “REY was founded in 2010, and our aim is to create unique clothes that are a timeless addition to any wardrobe.”
The AW 14 collection: “This year I looked to classic Hollywood stars such as Katharine Hepburn and Joan Crawford for silhouettes. I was influenced by how they dressed in their personal life, glamorous but a bit masculine. The color palette was also influenced by a classic, namely the fairy tale Snow White, in which the Queen said, ‘Oh how I wish I had a daughter with skin as white as snow, lips red as blood, and hair as black as ebony’.”
Catwalk styling: “The catwalk styling is a work in progress, so it’s difficult to divulge specifics. But I promise there’ll be some drama.”
People who have influenced you as a designer: “The minimalist crowd and my mother.”
Where do you find inspiration? “I find inspiration in the people around me.”
Favorite day trip from Reykjavík: “A drive to Þingvellir National Park.”
