X-GIRL!

In 1993, Sonic Youth lead singer/bassist Kim Gordon started a clothing line with stylist Daisy von Furth called X-Girl-- a name that references a then street wear company for boys called X-Large. The company started in LA and was known for fitted graphic tees, A-line dresses and mini skirts. The style feels very Godard-era actress meets skater, which was a drastically different style for the time. Other key elements for this brand: large sunglasses and barrettes- pretty minimal accessories. Take a look at some X-girl inspired outfits below and in our ONLINE SHOP

Featured Items: Denim Block Patchwork

We have a couple of great denim shirts in right now at Kokorokoko that feature the kind of denim black patch work that was popular in the late 80s and early 90s. The revival of this style has been used recently by some of our favorite current designers like Chloe and Makin Jan Ma. We also have a complete Used Jeans ensemble that features this technique with a matching shirt and trousers in black, white and blue denim. Woah!
