An Ode to Sunshine and Sundresses with Kalyca

This editorial is an Ode to sunshine and sunflowers,

to sunshades and sundresses,

to sunbirds and sunbaths, 

to suntans and sunburns,

to sunsets and sunrises.

A celebration of brown skin under the sun.

Kalyca, the Ivorian-French brand, helps us reminisce on the simple joys of a warm, sunny day.

Kalyca is a ready-to-wear brand that draws its inspiration from West Africa. Each piece in this collection, called Ayo, is colorful, chic, and modern -- Vacation Resort-like clothes that can be worn on the beach, on a summer stroll, or in the evening. The brand's fabrics are mainly dyed and woven by hand to measure and according to an environmentally friendly manufacturing method. Each piece is unique. They are each made with high quality fabrics that are very comfortable to wear. The main materials used are organic cotton, cotton grown and woven from Burkina Faso and Ivory Coast; the silk is from Lyon and 100% French lace.

Kalyca was born from the designer's passion for fashion, which was influenced by her mother. After ten years in the banking sector, Lynda Cazilhac decided to change lanes to turn her passion into her career. Kalyca combines African textile know-how with French excellence in the field of clothing. This complementarity allows the designer to make the most of each culture to produce high quality clothing.
