A.NTY STORY

A.NTY STORY is an Australian slow-fashion label founded by Indonesian-born designer and artist Anastasia Suyanti Cairns, whose work transforms hand-illustrated artwork into expressive, art-to-wear collections. A graduate of Istituto Marangoni in Milan with a Master of Design from Australia, Cairns brings over two decades of experience across fashion and visual arts, creating garments rooted in storytelling, identity, and cultural connection. 

Each collection begins as an original illustration, translated into thoughtfully crafted silhouettes that celebrate individuality and empowered femininity. Produced in small batches using sustainable, OEKO-TEX® certified fabrics and ethical production methods, the brand merges conscious design with bold visual language. Signature pieces feature vibrant prints, fluid tailoring, and collectible statement dresses designed to move effortlessly between occasion and everyday wear. 

Inspired by influential women, heritage narratives, and contemporary culture, A.NTY STORY has been featured in British Vogue, Tatler UK, and Vanity Fair UK, earning recognition for its distinctive fusion of fashion and wearable art. The label speaks to women seeking pieces with meaning, craftsmanship, and emotional resonance  where clothing becomes both self-expression and storytelling.

" Fashion is more than clothing to me, it is storytelling, self-expression, and empowerment. I love creating pieces that allow women to feel confident, seen, and connected to something meaningful."

Anastasia Suyanti Cairns, A.NTY STORY
MINI INTERVIEW

What’s your favorite thing about being a fashion designer?
My favourite thing about being a fashion designer is being able to transform emotions, stories, and cultural heritage into something wearable. Fashion is more than clothing to me, it is storytelling, self-expression, and empowerment. I love creating pieces that allow women to feel confident, seen, and connected to something meaningful.

What’s your design philosophy?
My design philosophy is rooted in storytelling, intentionality, and slow fashion. Every piece at a.nty story is thoughtfully designed to hold meaning, celebrate femininity, and honour individuality. I believe fashion should transcend trends and instead become timeless, wearable art that carries emotional connection and purpose.

Who are your design influences?
My influences come from art, cultural heritage, strong women, travel, and storytelling. I am deeply inspired by feminine resilience, historical symbolism, and nature. I also admire designers who balance creativity with craftsmanship and authenticity, creating collections with a strong point of view and emotional depth.

What’s your process for designing a new collection?
Every collection begins with a story. I immerse myself in research, emotions, symbolism, and visual references before translating the narrative into hand illustrations, prints, and silhouettes. I carefully consider fabric, colour, and movement to ensure every piece feels cohesive and aligned with the story being told. Each collection is intentionally designed to feel timeless and emotionally connected.

What’s the most challenging aspect of being a fashion designer?
One of the most challenging aspects is balancing creativity with business while staying true to your vision. In an industry driven by speed and trends, maintaining authenticity, sustainability, and thoughtful production takes patience and resilience. But I believe meaningful design is always worth the journey.
