ABOUT

Hi! My name is Kristen. I am the heart, hands and soul behind Astroprincess.

Every single bikini is handmade by me in Wellington, New Zealand ♡

 

I made my first bikini in 2015 while studying Fashion Design at Massey University.

My obsession with creating swimwear came from feeling alienated in swimsuits. In the past, shopping for bikinis and putting my body on display at the beach was a daunting experience. I always felt that if I was wearing a bikini that was wild and unique, people would be focussed on that and not my body ♡

When an Astroprincess bikini is made, it is infused with confidence and love. These qualities are passed onto the wearer.

I am inspired by fashion as a form of escapism, fantasy & body modification.
