Kaya is designed for those who savor life’s little luxuries without compromise. Crafted in New York City from eco-friendly and deadstock materials, each piece blends effortless style with conscious living. Elegant and timeless, our creations turn everyday moments into something extraordinary.
Yasmine’s creative vision is deeply rooted in the materials she chooses. Rather than drawing inspiration from a single place, she discovers it in the fabrics and trims she encounters - from silk mills in Italy to artisanal ateliers across Europe and faraway destinations like Bali. Each find carries the essence of its origin, allowing her to create pieces that are both culturally rich and deeply personal. Through Kaya, Yasmine seamlessly blends these influences with a steadfast commitment to eco-conscious, sustainable design, ensuring every creation is as thoughtful as it is beautiful.
At the helm of this creative journey is Yasmine Oezelli, the visionary founder and designer of KAYA. Her passion for fashion ignited in Berlin, and she soon sets her sights on the bustling streets of New York City to pursue her dreams. Along the way, she honed her craft, lending her artistic touch to iconic photoshoots for esteemed brands and publications such as Ralph Lauren, John Varvatos, and Town & Country. Her work has graced the frames of luminaries like Rihanna, Willie Nelson, and Sarah Jessica Parker, weaving threads of glamour and sophistication into the fabric of celebrity culture.
