An artistic project focusing on the concept of resort wear through clothing, accessories and food.

Helena and Jasmine Ammitzboell are sisters who grew up in Sydney, Australia with paternal family on the other side of the globe, in Copenhagen, Denmark. 

Throughout design school in Sydney, Helena frequently traveled to Southeast Asia, where she developed an interest in knitwear, particularly in cotton yarn on flat machines. Meanwhile, Jasmine spent most breaks at her sewing machine, honing her craft in cutting and garment construction.
Back in Europe, enamoured by the transformative nature of travel and the nostalgia of journeys to visit family across continents, they began designing fashion pieces that embodied this state of mind.
After creating small capsules of summer dresses—with Helena photographing them on vacations in Italy and Greece—the sisters developed ASTA RESORT into a ready to wear offering, adamant to explore how resortwear as a category could be pushed to inspire a fully formed wardrobe that encapsulates youth and freedom.

The Paillette yarn

The shimmering paillette yarn quickly became the brand's signature, weaving a veil of lustre into life’s most special moments.
The sisters create four collections annually in intimate collaboration with artisans in Portugal, Italy, India, and the United States.

The Hand-beaded-wear

Collaborating with artisans in India to extend the ASTA sparkle into a hand-beaded line was a natural evolution in materiality for the sisters.
Today, limited-edition eveningwear forms a seasonless expression of the brand’s world.
