Von Ugo

In 2025, Kaya founded a business venture called Von Ugo. Through Von Ugo, two free exhibitions will be hosted seasonally each year. The purpose of these exhibitions is to explore the relationship between fashion, costume, photography, and cinema, while platforming local costume designers, photographers, and filmmakers in Los Angeles.  In addition to hosting exhibitions, Von Ugo will release a collectible photo book called Von Ugo Art Book. Von Ugo Art Book will blend the worlds of fashion, photography, costume, and cinema.  It will feature work such as photography, film stills, essays, and interviews with filmmakers, photographers, stylists, and costume designers. The book will serve as a collectable representation of Von Ugo’s initiative to highlight the synergy between fashion, costume and the visual storytelling in photography and cinema while platforming the work of artists within these fields of practice. 

Von Ugo is currently being developed by Kaya.
