+1: Dora Abodi
+1, because do not even think about finding an Abodi store in Budapest. 🙂
Look for her stores in New York, or Milano.
ABODI was featured by most renomed magazines: Vogue Italy, Vogue.com, Vogue UK, Vogue China, Vogue Netherlands etc.
Celebrities like Rita Ora, Gwen Stefani, Lady Gaga, Taylor Swift, Fergie, Carrie Underwood, Bella Thorne, Tyra Banks, and many other international stars chose her pieces.
The brand’s signature style can be defined as baroque futurism with a goth attitude, fusing past and future.
I hope I could give you a quick glimpse at the Hungarian contemporary fashion design.
Of course I could not list every single artist in Hungary, so use this list as an inspiration. Stroll the streets of Budapest with opened eyes as little galleries are popping up every week. I also recommend visiting some of the above mentioned stores.
You can be sure that these designs will not be worn by anybody else in your city. 😉
