Nykaa Fashion has added to its ever-expanding bouquet an accessory label of bags and footwear. IYKYK is a cool, fresh and young brand that’s stylishly simple. Adwaita Nayar, CEO, Nykaa Fashion, introduces t2 to this new brand and shares her vision for Nykaa Fashion.
What does IYKYK mean?
As the acronym goes “If You Know You Know”, IYKYK is a brand that is distinct and edgy yet accessible for the fashion-conscious consumer of today. With unique designs and versatility at the core of the customer experience, IYKYK stands for the consumer who is in the know of what their special style secrets are. IYKYK also has its own unique monogram, carefully designed to combine the letters of I.Y.K.Y.K in a circular form, designed to look both sophisticated and fun at the same time. The monogram embodies the brand’s core philosophy. It incorporates the solid form of the logo but at the same time it is open to interpretation, perfectly mirroring the acronym “If You Know You Know”!
Tell us about the collection…
IYKYK celebrates free-spiritedness and stylish nonchalance through each design and the bags and shoes will appeal to anybody wanting to make a fashion-forward statement through their accessories. The distinct designs and neutral shades make these accessories both edgy and timeless. The offering spans from flats, stilettos to bags, which are all completely made from PU leather and available in a range of earthy and neutral palette. It’s a collection that inspires style and confidence without trying too hard.
Who is an IYKYK girl?
Sophisticated, aspirational and chic, the IYKYK girl possesses a streak of spontaneity, nonchalance and is ‘in with the trends’. She knows what’s trending, but she doesn’t necessarily follow or like every trend. She is the “with-it” girl who values being privy to trends and styles that stand out.
