SENI MODA
Where Art Meets Fashion, and Creativity Comes to Life
Seni Moda combines two beautiful worlds. "Seni" is the Indonesian word for art, creativity, and self-expression, while "Moda" is the Italian word for fashion and style. Together, Seni Moda represents The Art of Fashion, a place where creativity, design, and personal expression come together.
Founded by fashion designer and educator Anastasia Cairns, Seni Moda is inspired by the belief that fashion is more than clothing; it is a powerful form of creativity, storytelling, and self-discovery. Drawing on Anastasia's Indonesian heritage and Italian fashion education, Seni Moda offers a unique learning experience that blends artistic exploration with practical design skills.
Through fashion illustration, design projects, and hands-on workshops, students explore colour, textiles, design, and visual storytelling while developing creativity, confidence, and self-expression.
Whether discovering fashion for the first time or pursuing a future creative pathway, Seni Moda provides an inspiring space where ideas are transformed into original fashion concepts.
