What is Seni Moda
Located in Boolaroo (Newcastle, NSW).
Grand Opening in July 2026.
Seni Moda is a creative fashion design studio where art, fashion, and imagination come together to inspire the next generation of designers.
The name Seni Moda combines two languages that reflect its philosophy: "Seni", the Indonesian word for art, and "Moda", the Italian word for fashion. Together, they represent the belief that fashion is more than clothing, it is a powerful form of creativity, storytelling, and self-expression.
Through fashion illustration, design projects, and hands-on workshops, students are encouraged to explore their imagination, develop practical design skills, and discover that every great designer begins with a pencil, paper, and an idea.

At Seni Moda, our programs are thoughtfully designed to inspire creativity at every stage of the journey.
