THE VERSACE EFFECT


Versace and the supermodels that wore these extravagant designs were the pinnacle of fashion in the 80s and 90s. Silk all over print blouses, leather, gold-- these are all regal staples of haute couture during this time. These designs took risk and were over-the-top and elegant-- combing prints and colors, bright with bold. More is more!


 




This look was adopted by the daring, including Fran Drescher in her iconic show The Nanny. Best known for fashion with a sense of humor, Fran always came out on set with an outfit that made you wonder what she was even thinking! But, looking back, Fran looks pretty on point with the trends today.


Stop by our store to check out the designs above or go to our Etsy where they will all be posted for sale!

Check out this awesome video from Neneh Cherry's 1988 amazing debut album "Raw Like Sushi". Here at Kokorokoko we are gagging at how current this video feels. A lot of  scuba inspired looks have been popping up on spring 2014 runways. I'm especially stoked on these scuba dresses:
