KÔYÉ: Attire for Inspiring Women

KÔYÉ’s range of timeless, sustainable garments enables women to attire themselves with elegance, assurance, and intent – without sacrificing style.

In an industry where trends frequently eclipse substance, KÔYÉ represents a refreshing alternative. Alicia Issaka established her Parisian clothing business KÔYÉ in 2019 with a clear objective: to produce items that reinvented contemporary femininity in fashion. Five years later, KÔYÉ remains committed to this principle, advancing their goal of providing refined pieces that emphasize narrative and identity alongside style. The brand's attitude was initially influenced by Issaka's experiences in Paris. Her multicultural upbringing, coupled with the city's enduring sophistication and its connection to the fashion industry, influenced the future concept of KÔYÉ. KÔYÉ is redefining contemporary fashion by emphasizing handmade workmanship, sustainability, and narrative-driven design.

“For me, a garment transcends mere clothing,” Issaka states. “It is a mode of self-expression — a means to disclose oneself to the world with both fortitude and elegance.”

Reconceptualizing Modern Femininity

The models are adorned in garments from the La Muse line, specifically the Samarcande Summer, Herat top, and Nara skirt.

The brand’s designs encapsulate the essence of the contemporary lady across all stages of life, irrespective of individual, location, or era. KÔYÉ’s pieces are designed using adaptable fabrics like velvet and lace, ensuring they remain timeless and effortlessly transition from day to night.

The Samarcande velvet dress, a cornerstone design, epitomizes elegance. The unique high neck imparts a sophisticated allure to the dress, while the flared hem accentuates the feminine profile. A series of gold buttons adorns the front, imparting a striking accent to the elegant design. The Hérat shirt by KÔYÉ exemplifies the brand's adaptability. The item prominently includes a detachable high collar — an elegant accent that can be worn for a more formal appearance or removed to expose a seductive V-neckline.

The current collection, La Muse, reconceptualizes both the Samarcande and Hérat styles. The latest entry in KÔYÉ’s collection honors the women who have influenced Issaka’s life. The cherished KÔYÉ designs are reimagined in novel color schemes and patterns, enabling each wearer to enhance their daily attire.

A Vision for Sustainability

KÔYÉ's dedication to quality transcends mere aesthetics. The brand encompasses not just the celebration of women but also the promotion of conscientious living. Their attire is constructed from sustainable textiles procured locally from Spain. Subsequently, items are methodically produced in tiny artisanal factories located in Barcelona. Fabrics are selected not only for their quality but also for their capacity to enhance various skin tones and body types.

The firm additionally manufactures limited collections to reduce waste, aiming to develop apparel that surpasses a singular fashion season. The brand's deliberate approach disrupts popular fashion rules while upholding quality and comfort requirements.

Issaka states, “We are contesting the conventional fashion narrative.” “Our objective is to design apparel that empowers, narrates a story, and enables women to feel genuinely themselves.” KÔYÉ embodies fashion with a profound meaning that empowers women and honors the surrounding environment.

The Prospects of KÔYÉ

As the business expands, Issaka remains steadfast in its foundational principle - crafting timeless apparel that embodies the contemporary woman. In the forthcoming years, she anticipates broadening KÔYÉ’s influence while remaining faithful to the principles that distinguish it - honesty, sustainability, and timeless design.

“Fashion transcends mere attire,” asserts Issaka. “It pertains to your comfort within your own body.” At KÔYÉ, we aspire for every woman to experience confidence, recognition, and invincibility. KÔYÉ’s journey exemplifies the transforming potential of purpose-driven fashion, highlighting that exceptional design encompasses both the narratives it conveys and the aesthetic it presents.
