Noir Kāla x Psylo: A Meeting of Nomadic Worlds

Posted by Jacinthe Roy Rioux on September 23, 2025

A Story That Began Long Before the Collaboration

Our latest campaign, shot in Thailand last winter, whispers of memories, nostalgia, and nomadic paths.

Incorporating Psylo’s creations into our visual language surfaced a thread already present in my personal story, weaving it seamlessly with that of Noir Kāla.

Long before Noir Kāla existed, Psylo traveled with me — a nomadic, slow, sustainable fashion, carried by that subtle energy that makes every journey resonate.

Seven years later, we reconnect with this spirit.

Together, we embody nomadic freedom, the wind that pushes, and the enduring desire to remain sovereign and untamed.

Psylo: Fashion as Manifesto

Based in Bali for many years, Psylo embodies slow, sustainable fashion, moving against the fleeting trends of the mainstream.

Their style, often called “Ethno-Punk,” blends ethnic influences, urban silhouettes, and artisanal details.

Each piece is crafted to last, produced in their Bali atelier, where creation, production, and finishing coexist under one roof.

Psylo speaks to travelers, nomads, festival-goers, and anyone seeking unique pieces — not to follow trends, but to express a way of life.

A Natural Alignment

At Noir Kāla, we craft symbolic jewellery designed to endure and accompany life’s journeys.

Psylo shares this vision: grounded fashion with meaning, far from the impersonal, rapid cycles of fast fashion.

Pairing their garments with our jewellery for this campaign felt instinctive.

We selected pieces that speak of city and journey, grounding and momentum, rawness and refinement.

Koh Phangan: The Setting and the Meeting

The photoshoot took place on Koh Phangan, Thailand — a timeless island where slowness, celebration, and the extraordinary merge with vibrant energy.

The day before the shoot, we had the privilege to meet one of Psylo’s founders.

These conversations are invaluable: between independent brands, there is a shared understanding of the effort, risks, and dreams carried in your hands.

This was not just a professional meeting — it was a human one.

More Than a Collaboration

This project goes beyond placing two names on a campaign.

It continues a pre-existing connection.

It brings together two complementary creative visions, connects our communities, and celebrates what independent fashion does best: authenticity, freedom, and the ability to unite around shared values.
