Little Style Icons

Coco Hamamatsu

Imagine being so stylish that you get invited to shows like Chanel in Ginza…but as a 6-year-old? Here it is: Coco a.k.a. @coco_pinkprincess, who doesn’t happen to be the spawn of any famous celebrities who made her way into @Vice and @Voguemagazine!

When the original Vogue article went live back in December she had 12,000 Instagram followers, and a bad ass Insta feed. As of today, she has over 30,000 Instagram followers and an even more badass feed, as well as sense of style. Yesterday, a tweet about Coco went viral and once again we are all reminded that a 6 year old is way cooler than the rest of us.

The badass slash kawaii slash 6-year-old Coco isn’t so hung up on looking stereotypically adorable. Instead, she takes a more rebellious approach to her wardrobe, preferring pint-size looks with a more Vetements-like flair. Her ensembles range from punk—think, a puffer jacket thrown over a white button-up, worn with black track pants, teeny Vans, and a red beret—to more kawaii; Coco can easily rock Pepto-pink track pants and a matching Comme des Garçons Girl messenger bag, for example. She’s totally in on that cheeky normcore vibe too: In fact, this cool little lady makes an “Ikea”-emblazoned messenger bag and Nike dad hat seem next level. Japan-based Coco Princess. She's the kid who looks like she's walked out of a Vetements campaign and into Rihanna's inner circle. She's the pint-size hipster who has been documented by the likes of Vice and invited to Chanel events in Ginza. She wears geek glasses like she was born in them, and she has barely started primary school yet.

Coco is from Harajuku, Tokyo, Japan. She’s super cool, and her streety style is, well, dope. Coco isn’t “cute” in the traditional sense, she’s totally chic, badass, and rebellious, as rebellious as a 6 year old can be anyway. Basically, she’s the coolest teenager ever except in a 6 year olds body. Her looks are an intense, and totally fashion forward mixture of punk, street, and urban wear.

According to her parents, who happen to be into fashion as well and own their own vintage boutique called Funktique in Tokyo, Coco’s love for fashion developed extremely early, around the age of 3.
