About the Company

Jaya Apparel Group LLC owns and operates the Women's contemporary brands Cinq à Sept and LIKELY

cinq à sept sank·ah·set sæŋk’e’set n : The time between late afternoon and early evening when streets are awash in the warm glow of the vanishing sun and anything is possible

Sharing its name with the French term for the liminal moment linking late afternoon and early evening, Cinq à Sept brings the intriguing tension between day and night to a new advanced contemporary collection. Inspired by the hours between 5 and 7 p.m., when city streets are awash in the warm glow of the vanishing sun and office desks are abandoned for cocktails and as-yet unknown possibilities, Cinq à Sept embodies a deliberate balance between sophistication and ease, youthful daring and confident allure. The collection’s modern feminine aesthetic embraces unexpected details and striking silhouettes, resulting in clothing that draw their romance and sexiness from the woman wearing them.

LIKELY’s innate sense of rebellious fun shines through in each dress, skirt and top in the collection, creating a fresh approach to modern femininity through smile-inducing pops of color, beautiful fabrications and contemporary tailoring. With a focus on accessibility, LIKELY can be worn unapologetically from a casual Saturday brunch to a nightcap with friends, making every day an occasion.
