We Are The Cools: Meet Kyla Rae!

Kyla Rae Polanco, social media team

What can’t you live without?
70’s soul music, vintage boots and Stella Artois.

What are your favorite go-to blogs?
Topshop’s Inside-Out, The Man Repeller, and I look to the Cool Hunter for all things abstract and modern.

What’s currently on repeat on your playlist?
Juveniles, due to our secret love affair; Metronomy, because they get me; Bill Withers, when I’m having a lovely day; Al Green, for soul; Nicos Gun, for the weekends! 

What’s your favorite thing about working at The Cools?
It’s the best feeling to get up in the morning and go to work! Every day is different, and it’s exciting to see what is next! Plus, I love the international team, it creates an eclectic vibe in the office.

Where do you look for inspiration?
I look out the window for inspiration, just wandering the streets, riding the subway, overhearing conversations, talking to the crazies - you never know who or what will inspire you.

Name your favorite item ever sold on our site?
I want the Gary Fisher bicycle!
