__TOC__
Early life
Kolfinna Kristófersdóttir is originally from Vestmannaeyjar, Iceland.[http://www.mbl.is/monitorblod/M2011-02-03.pdf "Stúlkurnar í Ford-keppninni (in Icelandic, p.10) / The Girls in the Ford contest"] 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.[http://icelandreview.com/icelandreview/daily_news/New_Icelandic_Model_Rules_the_Runway_0_387804.news.aspx “New Icelandic Model Rules the Runway”] 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.[http://www.chaos-mag.com/icelandic-beauty-kolfinna-kristofersdottir “Icelandic Beauty Kolfinna Kristófersdóttir”] She next walked London and Milan, winning the London Walk-Off poll at Style.com with 42% of the vote[http://www.style.com/stylefile/2012/02/for-new-models-theres-room-at-the-top/ “For New Models, There's Room At The Top”] and being featured as a Top 10 Newcomer by Models.com.[http://models.com/oftheminute/?p=41222 “Top 10 Newcomers FW12: Kolfinna”] 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.[http://www.visir.is/kolfinna-missti-af-tiskuvikunni-i-paris/article/2012703109969 “Kolfinna missti af tískuvikunni í París (in Icelandic) / Kolfinna misses fashion week at Paris”]
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.{{Cite web |url=http://www.vogue.it/vogue-starscelebsmodels/new-faces/2012/02/kolfinna |title=“Vogue Italy 02/12 Interview” |access-date=2012-10-21 |archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20120626181133/http://www.vogue.it/vogue-starscelebsmodels/new-faces/2012/02/kolfinna |archive-date=2012-06-26 |url-status=dead }} Her favorite music includes electronic acts like Burial and Aphex Twin.[http://www.anothermag.com/current/view/1833/Model_Debut_Kolfinna_K “Model Debut: Kolfinna K”]
