brand concept
“We are now, we are free, we are everything we want to be.” AYLI is an accessory brand that designs statement pieces for both men and women.
Each piece communicates a personal message through the work of artists with different fields of expertise who all make statements. These include designers, illustrators, gold/blacksmiths, photographers, animators, sculptors and taxidermists. The name AYLI is an abbreviation of Shakespeare’s play “As you like it”. The play features one of Shakespeare’s most famous and oft-quoted speeches, “All the world’s a stage” which is part of the brands vision.

Angle
Tone of voice
- free of all fear -
Fortune favours the bold. AYLI commicates a clear and strong message with a bold tone of voice which intends to strengthen its reader.
Tone of voice
Artist: Gaida Yatzer
Unrestrained, avant-garde and fashion addicted creatives, who have no fear for the opinion of others. They believe that the only thing that can hold a person back in exploring, are his or her own boundaries. The world is a stage, and their life a perfomance. This conviction is expressed in rather subtle ways during daytime, and very strongly during the night, at parties and gatherings.
Their approach to fashion is very open-minded, free from gender. The individual should transcend role-models and free the homo-ludens* inside him. Due of this conviction they are the first to adopt the genderless approach towards fashion from Japanese , and Japanese inspired designers. *a playfull individual
Target Audience
Contemporary art is seen as a reflection of society and valued for its abstract approach to intricate matters. Art does not have to be easy to digest for the viewer, as long as a part of the intended feeling or emotion comes across. The connection between art, fashion, and trends in society is a fact for them and they consciously and unconsciously send out statements through their dress.

Golden ratio: 1,618The logo is designed according to the
golden ratio, an important ratio in art in general which is burned into our brain
as natural perfection.
LabelingPrice tags are 5 x 3 cm and have the tagline ‘ carry your message’ on it, the most important message AYLI wants to get across. Also, the names of the artists involved, and the name of the piece are mentioned. They are made of 1mm black cardboard.
Every piece comes in a black box that gives the feeling of buying a treasure. The size of the box
differs per item and is carried in four regular sizes. 15 x 15 x 10 cm , 15 x 25 x 10 cm,
20x 30 x 15 cm and 25 x 35 x 15 cm.
The meaning of the name AYLI is revealed to the client the moment he buys a piece and opens the
black, solid box through the use of a seal which says: ‘as you like it’. The logo on the box covers 11% of
the upper surface. The paper used inside is dark blue tissue paper marbled with gold and silver. The tissue paper can vary along with the artist that designed the
piece.
