"Gombold újra! Divat a magyar" ("Rebutton It- Hungarian is Fashionable") is a competition for Hungarian designers to rediscover and reconsider Hungarian folk motives using today's fashion ideas. The idea is gorgeous. The execution was not so gorgeous. I have some problems with the whole thing, including the fact that a free fashion event with strong media support is being held at the Museum of Fine Arts which is able to house 450 people. The problem was that they invited some 400 VIP guests. Go figure.
To my biggest disappointment, most of the collections were clichés with only a few fresh (and wearable) ideas. I leave the rest to Hungarian fashion critics- I am not one of them. That being said, I loved a few pieces from the ones that made it to the final round. One of my favorites was the accessory collection designed by two talented girls behind the brand The Béta Version. Their bags are stunning! Amazing design, inspired by the folk motives of traditional Hungarian hand-woven fabrics from different parts of the country, turned into pixels and punched into the leather and felt bags. Each bag is handmade of one single piece of leather, the sides of which can be stiched together, similarly to weaving. Fabulous, aren't they?
The collection won a special award- and now you can vote for them here for an audience prize.

Nekem is ez a táska volt a kedvencem az egészből. Úgy volt, hogy én is megyek, de kicsit beteg voltam, és nem is volt túl sok kedvem menni. Utólag örülök ennek! :)
