shameless
BA - COLLECTION
In my graduation work, called ”Shameless”, I am contemplating about our attitudes and relations towards the objectifying of people occurring in media and advertising. Based on the research, I designed a statement collection which plays with feminine as well as masculine pieces of clothing, ultimately forming a neutral and sexless entirety. It draws its visual influences from fetishism – a topic that also reflects the power structures we see appearing in objectification. Mainly designed for artists to use in music videos or on stage, “Shameless” is a collection that takes a neutral stance in gender, age and other demographic variables.

VERTIGO
MINI COLLECTION
Vertigo -minicollection was inspired by the mental health theme in ‘See Us - event’. Art has had a positive effect on my mental health and helped me release my emotions through writing and drawing. In this collection, I wanted to free myself from my own perfectionism and create something rough, unbalanced, asymmetrical, but so that it becomes a whole. This is where something fragile and maybe broken has become unique and empowered. (2022, See Us - Fashion & Art event)

WEAVING COLLECTION
Five-outfit clothing collection for young adults. Inspired by an old fairy tale’s candy house and dream-like aesthetics. Hand weaving technique is a very old, so I wanted to bring it more to the present day with a new kind of twist. I enjoyed the design phase and inventing experimental ways to weave. Eventually, I found a way to create delicious and fluffy textures by using a beautiful sheep wool. (School work, 2017, MOME Budapest)
