Word On The Street: Fashion Or Functionality?

In the cold of the summer, The Grapevine asked Hátíðni festival-goers if they prefer to stay stylish or warm

I really like dressing differently every single day. I love different styles and different colours, depending on my mood. Today, I felt like wearing pink. I packed a jacket to keep myself warm. But it’s usually hard to find a warm, thick coat that also looks stylish. You need to spend some time thinking about that. I don’t like jackets that look like duvets.

Functionality is number one, but it’s nice if fashion can go with it. When choosing my outfit today, I was thinking about what would be comfortable to play in and not too warm. It should just go with the summer vibe. Something I would never wear? Hmm, maybe a meat dress like Lady Gaga once wore.

I gotta say fashion. Yesterday, I was really cold at night, so I chose functionality, but to start with, it was fashion [Egill was wearing flame-patterned pants the night before]. Today, I decided to dress a bit more safely for my set, but yesterday I went all out. I usually don’t wear denim. I think it’s uncomfortable.
