ISADORA Bjarkardottir Barney took to the runway at Copenhagen Fashion Week on Thursday afternoon – but can you guess her famous parents?
The 22-year-old nepo baby is clearly following in her mother’s footsteps as a fashion icon, building a career as a model and appearing at a show to celebrate Danish label Cecilie Bahnsen’s 10th anniversary.

In a dress that’s far from Oh So Quiet, Isadora kept stone-faced as she strolled down the runway in a white flowing dress adorned with ribbons, frills, and a floral-patterned mesh front.
Completing the look in white trainers, the star became a central model in the show.
Her famous parents? Iconic 90s pop star Bjork and artist Matthew Barney.
Bjork herself is known for some stand out looks, becoming just as famed for her sense of style as she was for her music.
The Icelandic performer has 15 Grammy nominations and is one of the country’s most world-renowned stars.
She also notably wore one of the most iconic fashion looks in Hollywood history back in 2001, when she arrived at the Oscars in a swan dress composed of a tutu-style white tulle skirt, with the swan’s neck going up and over her shoulders, covering her chest.
Matthew Barney is a contemporary artist and avant-garde filmmaker, whose highly-praised work includes five-piece film series The Cremaster Cycle.
Bjork and Barney were in a relationship from 2002 before splitting in 2013.
But despite the artistic background Isadora was born into, the up-and-coming model has hit back at claims that nepotism has played a role in her career.
Speaking to the Sydney Morning Herald in July, Isadora said: “I have the benefit of their direct support as experienced veterans in their fields, which I am so, so lucky to have,’ she said.
“They’re the first people I come to, if I have an idea for a script or a project. They have so much guidance to offer.
“But then there is the other kind of benefit that disguises itself as a benefit but doesn’t really serve you, which is nepotism.
“Financially, sure, it can get you super far, but in terms of one’s own personal journey – uncovering how I see the world, how I relate to it and how I’d like to share that with people as an artist – it doesn’t help you very much.”
