Regulatory Constraints and Relief's in Iceland As a member of the 28-nation European Economic Area (all EU states and three of the four EFTA states), Iceland implements the same basic liberal business philosophy as the European Union. Except in a few limited areas, all EU commercial legislation and directives take effect in Iceland. Consequently, Iceland makes an ideal springboard for tariff-free access to the major EU market area, as well as a fully competitive location for EU companies to operate.

Remember the Iceland Fashion Week scandal of last year?
Try to forget it. It was awful. Instead, spend your memory and set your sights on the forthcoming Reykjavík Fashion Festival, a cool new initiative by a group of local fashion designers and industry players. Conceived of as a platform to raise unity within and awareness of the Icelandic fashion industry, it will showcase the works of 22 of Iceland’s most exciting labels and designers. Reykjavík Fashion Festival has been in the making ever since that first horrified blog post about the Fashion Week fiasco made its way to the Internet. “The Reykjavík Fashion Festival was co-founded by clothing labels Nikita, Birna, E-label and Mundi, with the stated purpose of showcasing the Icelandic fashion industry in a positive and accurate manner,” Ingibjörg begins.
We believe that there is great potential for the Icelandic fashion industry, and a great need for an event like the RFF. What does the programme look like? It is, it is. Not yet. Iceland fashion. Susie Bubble remains my favourite fashion blogger, for the simple fact that she actually writes.
True fashion journalism, in my opinion, is an endangered art. Sure, many more fashion lovers are taking to the web with opinions, pictures and observations, but there are few that hold true to copy-driven posts. Although I am still a real magazine devotee, and find nothing more relaxing and indulgent than spending a few hours poring over a Vogue whilst lying on my bed, feet up, it is merely the truth that more and more writers are turning to blogs as their medium. I really believe in maintaining a journalistic standard, though, and to me, Susie achieves this daily. Couple this with her innate impishness and hedonistic style, and you get an uber-productive, creative and inspiring writer who writes like old, but lives and thinks like new.
Her recent trip to Iceland is a great example of her hands-on immersion in the worlds and minds of designers. Inspiring stuff, huh? Like this: Like Loading... Blögberg-Heimskringla. Iceland News.
