I created this collection of textiles during my internship at the Glasgow School of Art’s Centre for Advanced Textiles in 2009. The influence was obvious,
I was naturally inspired by Charles Rennie Mackintosh and his works. I wanted to interpret his design elements into a loose, contemporary urban environment and I printed them on jersey fabrics to create a cosy, comfortable collection of clothes.
AFTER I FINISHED MY INTERNSHIP AND THE FABRICS WERE READY, I mADE THEM INTO SIMPLE GARMENTS. THE SHAPE OF THE CLOTHING WAS DELIBERATELY LEFT STRAIGHT AND LOOSE TO EMPHASISE THE PATTERN AND TO MAKE THEM COMFORTABLE.
When the garments were ready, I asked my friend, Katalin Dovydénas to wear them as my model, and other friends, Réka Raffay and Gabi Vígh for their help to make professional photographs under my styling directions, and when the photos were ready, I created a brochure of them, using the graphic elements of my patterns.
