INSPIRATION: LISA BONET
Lisa Bonet!!!!! On the Cosby show Lisa Bonet played the middle sister Denise in the family. Her effortless style incorporated over-sized silhouettes and bohemian accessories as well as traditional African fabrics. Denise was the archetype New York Hippie Chic.
At Kokorokoko she has always been one of our main inspirations--she represents the downtown style of 1980s New York. During the show she mentions going to Soho with her friends or visiting the Village for a poetry reading.
Later in the 90s she starred in A Different World where her personal style continued to evolve. Check out some sick outfits we put together below inspired by Lisa Bonet AKA Denise Huxtable!

GITANO
Long before Gitano was a K-Mart brand, they were one of the hottest denim and casual wear brands of the 80s and early 90s. Catering to the designer jeans craze of that time, Gitano had a wide range of ultra tailored denim in a variety of washes-- as well as contemporary sportswear for men, women and children.
Shania Twain was famously featured in a Gitano Jeans ad in 1994 when it sponsored her "Perfect Fit" tour. That same year, Gitano was sold to Fruit of the Loom after years of financial distress. Gitano is best remembered as an affordable, classic and durable brand.
We love Gitano because it is made with quality materials and has a structured look. Outfit yourself in head-to-toe Gitano for a look that is perfectly 1991, or wear as separates for a low-key americana vibe. Check out some of the choice Gitano pieces we have at the shop right now below!

LIZ CLAIBORNE
Liz Claiborne was a fashion icon and clothing designer from the 70s through the 90s best known for her moderately priced women's sportswear separates. She was the first woman to be honored in the Fortune 500 list, having sold over a billion under her Liz Claiborne clothing line. She was also the first to suggest that department stores give her collections their own department so people could shop it as a whole.
Liz Claiborne is remembered by her iconic large oval glasses and short hair-- sophisticated and powerful. Her collections mirrored the feminist power politics of the 1980s with large shoulder pads, menswear and bold colors and prints.
Check out some cool Liz Claiborne pieces we have at the shop below! This is a brand we are always stocking, so keep an eye out on our Instagram!!

FLY GIRLS FASHION
The Fly Girls were the dance crew for one of the most iconic 90s comedy sketch shows, In Living Color, for 5 seasons. Choreographed by famous dancing queen Rosie Perez, the Fly Girls were not only known for amazing dance skills but sick fashion! They definitely had a way of catching your attention! Over the course of the series, many members came and went, most notably Jennifer Lopez, Carrie Ann Inaba and Lisa Marie Todd!
With Halloween coming up fast, this could be a great opportunity to get your 90s fashion on and break out some funky dance moves with your friends. The Fly Girls always somehow matched, so we put together 5 looks below. Key things to keep in mind: gold jewelry, fishnets and patent leather shoes are a must! Velvet and flowy tops with fitted bottoms would be perfect too! Wear something that makes you stand out!
