__TOC__

Early life

Kolfinna Kristófersdóttir is originally from Vestmannaeyjar, Iceland.[1] She was working in a clothing shop when she was scouted by the local modeling agency Eskimo. In 2011 she won second place at the Ford Models contest for Iceland.[2] Internationally she is represented by Next.

Career

Kolfinna was first noticed internationally at age 19 when she walked exclusively for Marc Jacobs in New York during Fall/Winter 2012.[3] She next walked London and Milan, winning the London Walk-Off poll at Style.com with 42% of the vote[4] and being featured as a Top 10 Newcomer by Models.com.[5] Shows included Acne, Christopher Kane, Fendi, Marni, Prada, Topshop, and Versace. Kolfinna had to sit Paris out because of a foot sprain, which she blamed on the extremely high heels she wore in London, aggravated subsequently by the intensity of her schedule in Milan.[6]

Kolfinna has been on the cover of Russh (June–July 2012), Vision China (June 2012) and i-D (Fall 2012).

Personal life

Kolfinna currently lives in Reykjavík. She usually wears black, white, red and gray. She would like to be a chef and own her own restaurant some day.[7] Her favorite music includes electronic acts like Burial and Aphex Twin.[8]
