Inspirational Movie :Liquid Sky


I will never forget the first time I watched Liquid Sky . The colors and costumes were just to my taste and the plot was so strange, I had to watch it twice just to take it all in. The soundtrack is killer. The super saturated colors and new wave angles are a constant inspiration at Kokorokoko. We usually have several pieces that would make the cut for the fashion show near the end of the film.
Pale pink and metallic sculptural heels or a hot pink mesh jumpsuit. Both available in our online shop.

Amazing pair of asymmetrical black and white glasses from the 1980s. 
Bold colors in these vintage Bruno Magli heels. 
Ungaro always got it right in the 80s. This perfectly purple oversize wool blazer or pink and black asymmetrical dress could be worn by Margaret in the night club. Check our shop for more hot 80s finds and check out Liquid Sky for a dose of alien inspiration.

...And let's not forget the 90s Rave era shop Liquid Sky in New York. Check out this time capsule:

Style Inspiration : Miami Vice

Since I've been laid up all week with a sprained ankle I've had a lot of time to watch the entire first season of Miami Vice which is a visual feast. Pastel linen, nautical details, soft pleated pants and white suits. Crockett and Tubbs reminded me what a real man can look like when the weather is hot and the women are hotter. Accessories for this look include a simple gold chain and a pet crocodile! 

                                         
                  Black, white and grey double zippered sport shirt. Totally radical and ready for summer.
This neon wonderland can also be bought ONLINE. Soft breathable rayon is perfect for the Miami heat!
Crockett is always taking off his blazer to reveal a sleeveless shirt and tanned muscles. This tri-color mens tank may well have come straight from the set! 
 
Ladies Claude Montana linen shorts with nautical stripes. They can be found in our ONLINE SHOP
                   Vintage Valentino peach linen skirt can also be found in our ONLINE SHOP
 
                Vintage Chloe dress in pure white with bat wing sleeves and sexy wrap around style.
