DJ Coco Robert Talks Music And Style And Names Summer ’17’s Anthem

Coco Roberts Snobette Feature 2017 2 1

August 30, 2017. Leave a Comment

New York-based DJ Coco Robert is gaining notice for her skill for creating a popping party vibe, skillfully mixing the most jumping hits while also mixing in her personal ’90s era rap and r&b faves.

A Connecticut native and a NYU alum with a degree in business and entertainment, Robert has parlayed her talent into global cities, including Berlin, Tokyo and Bali to name a few.

Robert was styled here by Bianca Arielle Bailey wearing Kim Shui, an apt choice given the New York label’s flair for capturing the cool vibe of the City’s party and club scene. Photography by Derek Anthony Welte.

Check out our exchange with Robert below.

Snobette: What would you say is the summer anthem of 2017?
Robert: “‘Unforgettable’ by French Montana.”

Snobette: Do you take requests?
Robert: “I generally don’t take requests. It kind of feels like being told what to do by a backseat driver who doesn’t have a license. At the same time, I am always working with the crowd to create the experience.”

Snobette: What is your personal anthem/fave song of all time?
Robert: “I find a way to work TLC’s ‘No Scrubs’ into nearly every set.”

Snobette: What’s been your favorite album this year?
Robert: “Kendrick Lamar’s new album, Damn.”

Snobette: If you had the chance to collaborate with any performer who would it be?
Robert: “If it could be any performer, I would’ve loved to have worked with some of the bigger names from the ’90s: TLC, Big Pun, A Tribe Called Quest, Biggie, to name a few. I’m really into the beats, the melodies and the energy of the music from that decade. I also like the idea of shows that are a bit more about living in the moment, pre-smart phone era.”

Snobette: As for style, Snobette is all about the duality women can express through style. Are you more into sneakers or heels?
Robert:”I go back and forth between sneakers and heels, but being comfortable enough to focus on my set is a priority. When I find a really comfortable heel, I’ll get it in multiple colors and styles and exhaust the look.”

Snobette: In terms of fashion designers, had you worn Kim Shui before the shoot? 
Robert: “The jumpsuit was the first piece I’ve worn by Kim Shui. I’m definitely into the combination of the playful silhouette and classic, elegant red lace. It doesn’t hurt that it was originally worn by Solange.”

Snobette: Do you have a go to look or piece you find yourself drawn to?
Robert: “My closet has a lot of black. Maybe it’s just because I live in New York. In any case, it’s neutral and makes it easy to put something together and get out the door.”

Snobette: What can we expect from from Coco Robert in 2018?
Robert: “A wise friend once told me to speak on only what has already been done… stay tuned.”

For fall winter 2025 KNWLS opted to forego a runwa For fall winter 2025 KNWLS opted to forego a runway show and present their collection in a styled lookbook.

Taking inspiration from a feminine Y2K aesthetic, the collection embodies designers Charlotte Knowles and Alexandre Arsenault’s ability to balance sexy and cool. 

In an interview with Vogue, the pair shared that they are currently working on a new design director role in Europe and have several other projects in the pipeline, including another denim project, a collaboration with a jewelry brand, and a menswear capsule for an e-commerce site.

Commenting on the lookbook styling, they shared, "Obviously in the lookbooks it's styled in a quite extreme way, but if you break it down into individual pieces, we've been thinking about merchandising and the customer more than ever before," said Arsenault. "We've seen the team in the studio wearing the pieces differently too, and we've taken that into account. It's a nice challenge to say: 'Okay, we want to make a sweatshirt, but it still has this silhouette or wash or rib detail that makes it feel really Knwls."
