CURATED BY: AISSATA KOUROUMA

NYC-based creative and longtime friend of the brand, Aissata Kourouma, shares her approach to personal style, New York City dressing and the wardrobe essentials she wears on repeat while styling our latest collection.

 

What's your most-worn Nakedvice piece?
Definitely the Tilda Tote.

Where do you go in New York City when you're feeling uninspired?
I love venturing to the Upper East Side when I'm feeling uninspired. There is no shortage of chic ladies in their best outfits. They inspire me because these are people I consider true New Yorkers (most are born and bred), and with that also comes true personal style.

What are your top five wardrobe essentials?
A great fitting pair of denim, a chic mule to dress up or down (my go to are my Manolo Blahnik Maysale), a great black blazer, a great white t-shirt and minimal gold jewellery.

What's your favourite hidden gem in New York City?
Currently on a museum kick and I have been meaning to visit Mmuseumm in Tribeca this summer. It's supposed to be a tiny museum housed in a former freight elevator showcasing everyday artifacts.

What's one fashion trend you're loving right now?
Loving the thong sandal trend right now. Summer can be brutal and those feet need to breathe!

Which piece from the NV IN NYC collection are you most excited to style?
The Daisy Black Midi Skirt. 

Describe New York City in three words.
Iconic, resilient, main character.
