DESIGNER BIO
Anaseini Palu is an Australian Fashion Designer of Tongan Heritage born in Sydney, Australia and raised in a small country town Orange in the Central Tablelands of New South Wales. Intrigued by phenomenal designers such as Christian Dior, Yves Saint Laurent and Coco Chanel inspired Anaseini at a young age by the master pieces with the various shapes and silhouettes created. As her passion for fashion grew over the years interning for designers Leah Da Gloria and Steven Khalil it then eventually pushed her to pursue her dream and complete
her Bachelor’s Degree in Fashion Design at Whitehouse Institute of Design, Australia. Her design philosophy has been influenced by the art and history of different cultures and has inspired her to create a fresh style aesthetic combining historical aspects of high-end fashion and modern street wear.
Palu’s designs make a statement of elegance and strength with detailed pieces exploring historical fashion archetypes of warrior/ruler and incorporating geometric shapes throughout her designs.
