Portrait of one of our loyal customers

We continue to give you an insight into how some of our customers found out for us, what they love about the vintage style and what they pass the time with through the closure. Read here about lovely Daida.

Name: Daida

Age: will be 41 tomorrow :-) (Congratulations from us ed.)

Employment: Regional Director in a global advisory company

Hi Daida, what are you running around doing these days?

I work with advising companies on what pertains to their mobile employees.

I am responsible for the quality of our services, so I usually travel a lot, am in contact with many people both in Europe and in the US and these days that work has moved into my dining room. There I sit in front of my laptop and type and talk even more :-)

In addition, I teach, I am a mentor to a young student and I have started taking online tuition myself.

In addition, I am super happy to go for long walks, drink coffee outside, the little one can these days. In short, I try to reduce deprivation for my life on the go and fill the time with everything I otherwise do not find time for.

Where do you get your inspiration for your particular style?

I have always been a huge fan of old Hollywood glam, which in my eyes never goes out of fashion. I love when recreating looks from the 40s and 50s in movies and series and I wish we all went dressed like back then :-)

How did you come to know about Mondo Kaos?

In my daily life, business look is the thing and I have always tried to spice up that look with colors, especially silk blouses with pussy bow were in high demand in my wardrobe. I kind of wanted to add more retro to my clothes, so I started searching the web.

When I found Mondo Kaos I knew it was something special, so I rushed down to the store. There I met Kirstine and there she was, the living Marilyn. Since then I met Stine and all the other Mondo ladies who live their retro look every day and I haven't looked back since.

Here's Daida's style

What is it about? Mondo Kaos What makes you shop with us?

Mondo ladies are all good at capturing my aesthetics and therefore I have full confidence that I will be told if something is "me", or if it is something "completely different", or if I am completely crazy about an outfit , but doubt if I carry it ... then Kirstine and Stine are just worth gold in that situation.

So the combination of that celebration of the female silhouette and the female form through the many beautiful, elegant and downright sexy outfits, the amazing guidance that takes my aesthetic into account, all of which results in me loving the confidence boost it gives me after a trip past Mondo Kaos.

If you were to give women three great styling tips, what would they be?

1. LBD, your go-to outfit that you always combine with statement shoes such as gold, silver, visible accessories and red lipstick

2. Do not be afraid of colors, but learn how to put the colors together effectively

3. Balance your look, keep some of your clothes loose and the rest tight, depending on your body type
