Coco Schiffer makes a strong case for the classics. Known for her elevated, edited approach to style, the stylist and content creator has built a career around timeless pieces, thoughtful accessorizing, and a deep understanding of how beauty and fashion inform one another. We caught up with Coco to talk about her creative roots (spoiler: it all started with her grandmothers), her take on capsule dressing, and the Facile essential she’s been reaching for on repeat this summer.

What first drew you to the worlds of beauty, fashion, and creative direction? Was there a moment that defined your path?

My grandmothers were my foray into all things style. home decor, the best beauty tips and tricks, defining personal style….. all things they taught me (or i picked up on) from a very young age!  

How would you describe your personal style philosophy, and what influences how you express it?

My style is classic and timeless and accessorized. I believe with great basics you’ll always look polished and put together. Quality over quantity is my mantra, because investing in quality pieces will last you a lifetime. I add my own flare in how I accessorize a look, whether it’s my staple ring stack or my go-to shoes and sunnies.

In your work, how do beauty and fashion inform and elevate each other?

The two are inseparable- fashion sets the stage, and beauty completes the story. Every item I put on my body is enhanced and elevated by my beauty choices, from the way I style my hair to the makeup I wear. And all of that starts by taking care of my skin.

Where are you finding creative inspiration right now—be it places, people, or moments?

 I just got back from Paris Couture and it was such an incredible week and I’m so inspired by Paris as always. Couture is like getting an inside peek at what’s to come and I feel so honored to be a part of that experience. Being dressed for the various shows also gives me the opportunity to play around and challenge my style which is so important to how I evolve as a stylist. 

Facile is rooted in the idea of Minimal Effort, Maximum Benefits. How does that philosophy show up in your own daily routines or creative process?

 That philosophy shows up for me everyday as I work with clients to build out their capsule wardrobes. Putting together an outfit in the morning shouldn’t be hard if you have the right pieces. My go-to’s are a pair of trousers or jeans, a white tee or button down, and loafers or a kitten heel. It’s that simple, and you will always look great. 

What makes a product truly essential in your routine? What would you call your Facile essential?

 Essential products in my routine always make me feel confident. I’ve been finding myself reaching for the Lip Jelly lately. It's nourishing and leaves my lips feeling soft without the stickiness. 

Which Tinted Lip Jelly shade are you reaching for to pair with everyday summer looks?

Definitely the Rose Lip Jelly Tint. It’s the perfect shade to easily throw in my bag and use day to night. It looks good with everything!
