Since nobody drinks or parties anymore, where are we meeting potential lovers in person? They said run clubs were athletic Hinge. But for who? Only a specific strain of finance and tech bros and blonde girls with ponytails. And you have to be in your 30s, when everyone suddenly decides
This article is obviously not clickbait. I have been in Amsterdam for a month now and I still refuse to get a bike. One week in and people around me were dramatically gasping and widening their eyes when I told them that I don’t have a bicycle.
Coqueta’s new series where we highlight sexy people who are also wildly talented. We’re starting with none other than one of the hottest pianists on the scene: Yuja Wang. When you think of a piano player, you imagine someone nerdy, unsocial, locked away practicing all day. Yuja Wang is quite
What makes a young Swiss Bachelor
Every land has its fair share of most eligible bachelors, yet no one actually talks about it so plainly. At least that’s what it feels like. Some men seem to attract more attention, have dated several women of (adjacent) friend groups, and somehow their reputation remains untainted. They’re good guys,
Hola Coquetas, Sometimes I feel like a stockbroker. Vinted, EBay, Poshmark, Mecari, Depop and The RealReal are my stock exchange. I buy shares of vintage designer for cheap and sell (well sometimes sell) when the shares value spikes.In this market you mostly just spend money. But instead of having a
What do you think about at a Malibu concert?
Everything was quiet. Literally, it was a quiet zone in the whole building. Last Saturday (February 7), Malibu and Joanne Robertson were performing at the Dampfzentrale in Bern.
Travelling to Italy in January is perhaps not the wisest. It rains pretty much every day and it’s not that much warmer than some of its northern neighbours. This article doesn’t wish to stand as the official Coquetas Rome and Naples guide so take it with a grain of salt, as there is definitely more food than thought.
Have you ever tried the Indian street food pani puri, the puffed, crunchy sphere filled with a delightful sauce and vegetables that bursts in your mouth? Now imagine a reduced French onion soup being poured hot into an airy Gruyère puff. You don’t have to imagine it much longer, because
It seems the hottest new restaurant trend in LA is seating you on the street on plastic stools with no tables. I was told The Win-Dow burgers were better than In-N-Out, lol as if. Don’t get me wrong, the price was great and the fries are better, less cardboard. But
Living in London, you start to meet many characters. Some more fleshed out than others. My first year, fresh off the boat from California, I met this artist we will call Lana. Like many others, Lana had a hard time finding a flat. She could not find a place whose interior
Coqueteo n°1: Louis Benjamin Barrett
In our first Coqueteo, which means something along the lines of banter, flirtatious and glamorous conversation, we sat down with British product designer and artist, Louis Benjamin Barrett. Irregular shapes punctuate his work, akin to a Casuarina Cunninghamiana tree you might come across in Mexico or rocks from the Sahara
My Egyptian Queen and Korean King
There is only so much you can do in London in a day. Transport could be on strike, your bus might terminate 8 stops before your planned stop, or you simply don’t bike on the left side of the road – all of these conditions make moving around a bit
Today I went to the hottest new cafe in LA, and best of all, it’s Venezuelan. It opened just seven weeks ago, and the line out the door clearly signals success. I knew I was in the right spot as soon as I saw a crowd of millennial hipsters with
I’m certain that coquetas love quail eggs. huevitos codorniz.Now imagine Korean marinated Mayak eggs with a twist. They are micro. Adorable. I’ll give you the rough recipe because I’m not much for measuring. Just like my hairdressing, I cook intuitively. I hard boiled the quail eggs just like any other
Today’s secret is heart-warming, in the spirit of our recent festivities. This holiday, in not-so-coqueta fashion, our house started to smell a bit funky. A rotten egg smell permeated through the halls. My grandmother, Mamina, was the first to notice the odor in her bedroom. My mother, of course, accused
The Heart Wants to be in Zürich
Usually, you would think that once in a blue moon, interesting things happen in Switzerland. Well, we beg to differ, as more and more exciting projects are happening in the country, so let’s talk about one of them. Thanks to Zürich-based label Ghost Romance, the Swiss scene is starting to
Your Parents always have the best drama, Hometown curse
There’s truly nothing like hometown gossip. It’s one of many reasons to be excited to go home for the holidays. My favourite story to pull out of my back pocket in moments of conversational need, is a kind of James Bond villain story about my neighbor. I must also preface
Nadia Lee Cohen told me a secret
. Nadia Lee Cohen just launched her fabulous new book Holly Ohio at Dover Street Market in London. For those who live under rocks, Nadia Lee Cohen is an extremely successful British artist known for her fashion photography and filmmaking. She often appears in her own pictures, dressed up as
I’ve always heard about Ricardo, and I even think it had a different name before that. It is orange and the font of the capital R is a little distasteful to the eye.A boy that I really liked once told me one of his best-kept secrets. He confessed to me
In honor of purchasing my first pair of Christian Louboutin stilettos in electric blue suede with a fringe ankle strap (second hand of course) for the launch of Coquetas.online , we must discuss my sole connection. I cannot quite describe the fascination I have with shoes. It is almost a
With the many festivities around the corner, what better way than to add another one? This week of November 24 marks the one week since the Coquetas.Online launch. For the occasion, we bring you our very first Email Report.
The Sound of the Muji CPD4 CD Player
Growing up with a hi-fi passionate dad made me sensitive enough to the quality of audio. Perhaps not enough to get me into the mastering and mixing of music, but something else that I got from him is my overly critical personality.
Few have the stamina to survive a hot party full of half naked girls, dolls and gays but If you can get your hands on a ticket for the Stamina Barbican take over it should be quite a treat. The Coquetas have been going to Mina Galan’s Stamina since its
If you were wondering where the Coquetas were going to be on December 5th? On the dance floor, of course… In London at Ormside Projects, seeing Dinamarca—a hot Chilean DJ/producer who plays a blend of reggaeton rhythm with ambient trance.
Coquetas are very aware of their surrounding. When they spot pretty things they can’t help to notice. We noticed an occurrence, a sexy pattern of hot men ridding bicycles. Not motorcycles- that’s just too obvious. We are talking about hot boys on bikes… even Lime bikes.
I have seen how coveted Agnes B is for vintage resellers but never really knew much more about the brand.
East London Appetite List 2025
You know those restaurants that are only open three days a week at the most inconvenient hours, with no signage or online presence, those are only found in East London… so here’s our East London Appetite list 2025.
These drink prices are getting out of hand
What happened to the personal flask? Maybe it has to do with the lack of proper suits and blazers but I guess you could still fit one into the front pouch of a hoodie.
What goes around comes around, and as kitten heels turn back into stilettos, the bandage dress is back and has been. Designer Hervé Léger is best known for popularizing the bandage dress in the 90s and 2000s, but Azzedine Alaïa was the true originator of the look back in the 80s.
Story Deli is an intimate restaurant on Cambridge Heath run by a cute couple Ann and Lee with impeccable taste. The ambiance is bohemian with vintage linens and candlelit light. Clearly a labor of passion, and often you will have the whole restaurant to yourself.
Welcome to our first instalment of ESRR (Extremely Secret and Rare Recipe) where we share our latest finds. The first on our list comes straight from 2004. When I was in Antwerp a few months ago doing research around Martin Margiela, I came across an ad – or maybe collaboration?
Sweat Like Syrup: Fenugreek’s Sweet Side Effect
Back in high school, I had a boyfriend who was convinced I perspired sweet nectar while he and the rest of the world sweated musty odor. The truth? My secret was a magical little pill called fenugreek, a herbal supplement most commonly used during breastfeeding.
Pilgrimage to the Secret Vagina Cave
Five summers ago my family and I took a fabulous trip to Provence, France, full of wine, relaxation, and the scent of fresh lavender. My mother, in her endless search for meaning and knowledge, had become hyper fixated on Mary Magdalene and the legends surrounding her. Naturally this meant we
I know this looks weird, but the job market is bad right now, and I’m willing to try anything for a bit of luck, even if that means groping a grave. Thank God bronze is antibacterial.
A new discovery I recently made at an antique store is uranium glass, also known as Vaseline glass. It has that green yellow glow reminiscent of the glow in the dark star stickers we all had on our ceilings as kids. It looks radioactive because it basically is.
For the mere 14 months I have lived in the US – or until my 2nd birthday – Milanos were apparently a staple in the household (or from what my mom would tell me). I would only ever hear whispers about how good they are and how much she loved them.
