Guðmundur Jörundsson (born 1987 in Reykjavík, Iceland) is an Icelandic fashion designer. Guðmundur graduated from the Iceland Academy of the Arts in 2011.[1] Prior to graduation in 2010, he was commissioned to design a new master collection for fashion shop GK Reykjavík.[2] Also prior to graduation, he had co-founded alongside Kormákur Geirharðsson and Skjöldur Sigurjónsson[3] the Icelandic Kormákur & Skjöldur brand and is the Creative Director and Head Designer of this Icelandic fashion brand[4][5] renowned for its masculine designs built on classic tailoring. His designs were possibly best described by a design blog, quoting Steve Jobs words; ""Here's to the crazy ones, the misfits, the rebels, the troublemakers, the round pegs in the square holes...the ones who see things differently..." Crazy perhaps, but we see fashion genius.""[6]
