Lifestyle Mirror

Name: Ada Kokosar

Occupation: Stylist and Fashion Consultant

Where Are You From? I’m half-Italian, half-Slovenian and I was born in Italy.

Style Icons: There are so many. Actresses like Natassja Kinski in Cat People and Maria’s Lovers, Romy Schneider in L’Enfer and La Piscine, Monica Vitti in L’Avventura and Ursula Andress in La Decima Vittima. Peggy Guggenheim is so extravagant and cultivated; Francesca Woodman for her sense of beauty, Madonna, Coco Chanel, and Yves Saint Laurent.

Personal Style in Four Words: Free, versatile, timeless, elegant

Most Recent Thing You’ve Bought: From Céline, the pointy pump in white and a folded clutch in nude. From Yves Saint Laurent, the Ingenue pump with a mirrored brass toe in nude.

Favorite Online Shops: Asos makes shopping easy, Opening Ceremony for its cute selection, Dover Street Market is always very inspiring, and Saks Fifth Avenue for its accessories.

Songs You Can’t Stop Listening To: Temporarily, “Somebody That I Used to Know” by Gotye. I love his voice. And then Chopin’s “Nocturne” by Lang Lang. I feel so light listening to it.

Inspirations: My grandmother, what’s happening in the world, the countries in which I’ve lived in or to which I’ve travelled, the people I’ve met.

Fall Wish-List: The camel boots from Givenchy are calling my name; a turquoise or white jumbo coat from Céline, the printed violet or green suit from Prada; a full leather black outfit from Jean Paul Gaultier or Hermès, a jumbo hat by Marc Jacobs. —Interview by Nandita Khanna (@dresslikenan)
