Interview Alexander Koko
What was your favourite toy that you still remember from your childhood? Why?
I was a really lucky child because my dad used to buy Barbie dolls for me. I know that it is too cliche but it is the truth.
What is your dressing style about?
Usually, I start with white sneakers and wide pants and then I add jackets or oversized shirts, in a more playful way. And most of the times a designer touch elevates my look.
What is the coolest piece in your wardrobe?
My fashion story started with a Versace shirt that I bought with the money I earned from my first collaboration as a blogger. It may be not the coolest one, but it is my favourite. And believe me, my friends also do agree with this, since they borrow it all the time!
If there is any style icon you follow, who is it and why?
Well, I love to get outfit ideas from Kendall Jenner. You can learn from her how to be effortless and cool in white t-shirts and jeans.
What is your favourite decorative object in your house?
When I was a little boy I had a book about the 200 most famous armchairs in the world. Two years ago, I found online an armchair pretty similar to the one on page 99. The price was really good, so I bought it and now it is my favourite decorative object in my house.
Which neighbourhood in Athens is your favourite one? Why?
Irodou Attikou street in the real heart of Athens is my favourite one and a dream place for my future apartment.
What is your favourite place in Athens? Why?
I can’t name just one specific place in Athens that I love the most, but to walking to Plaka for an ice-cream or tasting Greek cuisine during summer are my suggestion for those who want to catch the Athenian vibes.
What was the coolest country, city or place to have the best fun ever? What did you do?
I think it is Milan and mainly because of the fashion weeks. Running from one show to another, changing outfits and meeting with friends is always fun. Oh, and how can I forget those quick stops for pizza and free drinks at parties!
How do you spent your home stay these days?
Although the situation is really difficult for all of us, I am trying my best. Of course I spend a lot of time sleeping and cooking. In addition to this, I find new ways to exercise at home and I improve my Netflix skills. And finally, of course my summer exams are the prerogative in my daily routine.
