The Rejtő Faculty of Óbuda University is pleased to announce that from 28 June 2024 it will organise an exhibition in the Doberdó Road lobby of the KORONDI 2:0 – Modern Interpretation of Hungarian Folk Art project, featuring the work of students from the Institute of Product Design of the Sándor Rejtő Faculty of Light Industry and Environmental Engineering.
The project, which was led by Dr. Edit Csanák DLA Clothing Design Artist, Director of the TTI, was realized in the framework of a collaboration between Hungarian and foreign students of the Rejtő Faculty of Óbuda University, under the mentorship of the faculty members of the institute. The aim was to create a modern interpretation of Hungarian folk art motifs and techniques through the language of contemporary fashion.
Commenting on the exhibition, Dr. habil László Koltai, Dean of the Faculty said, “We are delighted that the stunning garments created by the students of the Product Design Institute of the Sándor Rejtő Faculty of Light Industry and Environmental Engineering will be exhibited in the Doberdó Road lobby. The KORONDI 2:0 project is an excellent example of the modern interpretation of Hungarian folk art motifs and techniques through the language of contemporary fashion. We are proud of our students who have used their talent and creativity to create unique and innovative pieces. This exhibition not only showcases the talent of our students, but also celebrates the rich heritage of Hungarian folk art. We hope that visitors to the exhibition will be inspired by the costumes and discover the beauty and value of Hungarian folk art.”
The exhibition presents a wide range of garments made during the project, from traditional motifs to more daring and innovative pieces.
The exhibited pieces were previously on display at the May fashion show, where students presented the garments themselves, bringing to life the heritage of Hungarian folk art in the context of modern fashion.
The exhibition is open to students and staff of the university as well as the general public. Admission is free of charge.
