Welcome to the family
Together, Nina and Kaya Egli form Family Affairs. A mother and daughter, they draw on their combined experience in fashion and design.
Kaya Egli opened her first store selling her
own designs and vintage clothing at the age of 20. She went on to become
the in house designer for The Beatles iconic Apple shop in London.
Nina
Egli, already with her own line of jewelry Toujours Toi, made a natural
progression into ready to wear, and a transatlantic design partnership
evolved; with Nina based in New York and Kaya in Switzerland.
From New
York, Nina gathers and sends packages of visual inspiration: essence,
fabrics, colours, and shapes, across the seas to Kaya and the process
begins to take shape. Then delving into Kaya’s archives they pull
designs, which they adjust and refine to create the bone structure of
each piece.
