Who's behind Astor + Tyne?
Hi! I’m Nicola, the designer behind Astor + Tyne Australia. I love creating elevated casual wear - original, classic styles with a little bit of wow
For fabulous women like you!
Women who crave unique, distinctive style.
I’m passionate about designing styles that flatter and inspire you to feel fabulous all day, from business meetings to social meet ups, you deserve a wardrobe that complements your dynamic lifestyle—fashion that’s both versatile and sophisticated, allowing you to move effortlessly from work to play.
Astor and Tyne was born out of a desire to create original designs that celebrate the modern Australian woman—strong, stylish, and unapologetically fabulous. My collection is inspired by the unique blend of urban sophistication and laid-back charm that defines Australia. Every piece is thoughtfully designed to offer a perfect balance of comfort, elegance, and individuality.
I started Astor and Tyne because I wanted to fill a gap in the market for high-quality, Australian-designed women's fashion that caters to women like us. Women who have experienced life, who know what they want, and who are not afraid to express themselves through their style. My designs are timeless yet contemporary, classic yet original. I believe that fashion should not only make you look good but also feel good too.
I discovered the joy of creating for the first time when I was 12yrs old. Bored in the school holidays I raided my mum's chest of fabric. My best friend and I would spend hours poring over Saturday morning ‘Video Hits’ working on recreating the latest and greatest outfits of 1983…
I carried on studying fashion construction through high school and went on to complete a TAFE fashion design course.
After 40yrs of creating a huge variety of garments, so many of my skills now have been learned through experience.
16yr old me could have never imagined my designs would be seen on celebrity fans (some of who we watched on Saturday morning Video Hits!)
- Ali Daddo
- Toni Pearen
- Liz Ellis
- Australian of the year Taryn Brumfit
just to name a few!
And to also have an AMAZING model in Amity Dry, always making my designs look fab. A creative, talented, hardworking, warm TV-personality-turned-star-Real-Estate-Agent - the perfect ambassador for Astor + Tyne!
Let's continue to embrace our individuality, celebrate our journeys, and look fabulous every step of the way.
