Our Story
Founded in Prague in 2019 by Yasmin Keshmiri Hejduk and Jana Kapounová, Port of Stars was conceived with the intention of creating timeless clothing through a conscious and considered approach to fashion.
Now approaching its eighth year, the studio continues to build on these founding principles, shaped by the distinct perspectives of its two founders and their shared dedication to exceptional fabrics, thoughtful design and craftsmanship. Their creative partnership is one of constant dialogue, bringing together different instincts and sensibilities with a common ambition to create pieces that feel individual, relevant and enduring.
From the beginning, Port of Stars has approached clothing with an attitude closer to fashion artistry than the conventions of seasonal trends. Produced in limited quantities, each piece carries something of the intimacy of bespoke dressing, designed to feel personal and become part of a wardrobe collected over time. Clothes to be worn, cherished and perhaps one day passed on, carrying with them the stories of the people who have lived in them.
Our Process
Fabric remains central to the studio's creative process. Working with carefully sourced textiles, exceptional remnants and materials from previous collections, Port of Stars explores the possibilities of what already exists. Through inventive cutting, unexpected combinations and the reinterpretation of familiar silhouettes, materials are given new purpose, creating a continuous thread between collections. This commitment to minimising waste is inseparable from the design itself, rather than an afterthought.
All pieces are made locally in Czechia and Slovakia, in close collaboration with skilled seamstresses, workshops and specialist artisans. These relationships, together with the precision and uncompromising standards established alongside the studio's late Chief Designer Radka Kubková, remain fundamental to the quality and integrity of its work.
“Port of Stars, inspired by two separate entities, the nautical terms for Port and starboard evoking adventure and a quest to invoke an ethereal vision of harbouring and protecting our consolations.”
