Doa’s Runway Return Steals the Show in Copenhagen

LA fam, get ready to stan a new fashion queen with serious West Coast cool! Ísadóra Bjarkardóttir Barney, better known as Doa, just made a killer comeback to the runway, opening the Cecilie Bahnsen 10-year anniversary show at Copenhagen Fashion Week last Friday. Rocking a dreamy white tulle dress decked out with bows and floral vibes, the 22-year-old brought pure SoCal summer energy to the Nordic scene.

Doa paired the ethereal look with white knee socks and trendy trainers, while her sleek brunette bob and shimmering silver makeup added that extra Hollywood glow. The Danish brand, known for its romantic and artsy designs, named the show 'Hana-bi' - Japanese for fireworks - kicking off with crisp white looks before transitioning to dazzling silver. Talk about a red-carpet-worthy moment!

Cecilie Bahnsen herself dished on the inspo, saying starting with white feels like a 'blank canvas' for every collection. And with Doa leading the charge, that canvas turned into straight-up art. This rising star is proving she’s got the chops to shine brighter than a Malibu sunset.

From Miu Miu to Major Moves: Doa’s Fashion Journey

Doa isn’t just a one-show wonder - she’s been turning heads since her debut with Miu Miu for their autumn/winter 2022 campaign, strutting alongside big names like Sydney Sweeney, Emily Ratajkowski, and Demi Singleton. She doubled down with a fierce walk for Miu Miu’s spring/summer 2023 show at Paris Fashion Week in October 2022, showing the world she’s got that effortless Cali swagger mixed with high-fashion finesse.

Whether she’s repping Iceland’s cool-kid energy or channeling LA’s laid-back glam, Doa’s got a style that’s all her own. And with a mom like Björk, it’s no surprise creativity runs in her veins. This is one SoCal-connected starlet we’re keeping our eyes on!

Who’s Doa? The Lowdown on Björk’s Talented Daughter

Let’s break it down for those not yet in the know. Ísadóra Bjarkardóttir Barney, aka Doa, was born in London to Icelandic music legend Björk and American visual artist Matthew Barney. After her parents split in 2013, things got messy with a custody battle that even inspired Björk’s haunting track 'Black Lake' from her album Vulnicura.

Doa split her time growing up between Reykjavík, Iceland, and Brooklyn, New York, soaking up culture on both sides of the Atlantic. She later headed to Southern California to study at Pitzer College in Claremont - just a quick drive from LA’s buzzing entertainment scene - though it’s unclear if she graduated. (Side note: Pitzer’s known for its artsy, free-spirited vibe, perfect for a creative like Doa!)

'I’m just so proud to see Ísadóra carve her own path - she’s got her mother’s spirit and a style that’s all her own,' a close family friend shared.

A Star Backed by a Legend

With a mom like Björk cheering her on, Doa’s got all the support she needs to chase her dreams in acting and beyond. Björk, known for her boundary-pushing music and avant-garde style, seems to be passing the torch of fearless creativity to her daughter. It’s like watching a Hollywood sequel, but with more heart and less CGI.

Whether she’s strutting down a runway in Paris or chilling in SoCal, Doa’s story is just getting started. Keep your eyes peeled, LA - this is one rising star who’s about to light up the industry like a Venice Beach bonfire!
