GNAT has created some special pieces just for Kokorokoko made of glittery vinyl, weirdo plastics and stainless steel hardware.

At Kokorokoko, our main focus is getting you in the freshest gear from the 80s and 90s! At the same time, we are all about bringing people together, having art and fashion events that give some of Chicago's emerging talent together to enjoy each other's awesomeness. We usually host art openings in the shop every month (we have had over at least 20 of these since we opened in 2009!) but lately we have been mixing it up with other types of events and showcases. Last month we hosted an event featuring work by Amy Cryer from ChicagoStreetStyle.com .
