Hungarian Design @ Paris Fashion Week SS09

[tiger02]

Hi all,

I've been active on styleforum, not so much here. Want to let all the folks here know about an event that we're putting together this weekend. Umm, free booze...

Hungary's first fashion showroom is displaying today's best young Magyar designers during Paris fashion week. This historically grand country, poised between Balkan exuberance and Teutonic reserve, is a hotbed of emerging art and design. These designers are under one roof for the first time so now is the time to lead this trend! Come see them all at 197, rue Faubourg Saint-Antoine 75011 on Friday 3 October from 14:00 to 20:00--and sample Hungarian wine and palinka from 18:00! Also available for viewing on Saturday 4 October from 10:00 to 20:00, along with the rest of the wine and palinka...Please RSVP to [email protected] or +33 (0)6 89 06 89 16.

Returning to Paris is Hungary's design sensation, Nanushka. Since being named "young designer of the year" in Hungary in 2006, Nanushka has gone on to dress Charlize Theron, Blake Lively, and Selma Blair...the media have been paying attention also, with features in top international press (inStyle, Elle, WWD...). Designer Sandra Sandor's designs focus on long-lasting silhouettes, comfort, and functionality combined with a playful attitude and an eye on future trends.

OurStyle Showroom is proud to present Pazicski for the first time in Paris. Miklos Pazicski puts emphasis on the cutting edge but still creating the most feminine silhouettes. His style is characterized by combining nostalgia and traditional cuts with modern trends--updated vintage looks with a hint of insouciant glamour!

Also returning to Paris is USE Unused, whose designs go back to models and philosophies inveted by the designers of the classical '40s, '50s, and '60s coupled with modern trends. Their dresses are always of the best fabrics and have incredible handwork, as seen recently in Surface magazine.

For accessories, OurStyle will be showing Anh Tuan, who has been named "Young Designer of the Year" in Hungary for 2007 and 2008. The designer, Luu Anh Tuan, is Vietnamese-born but has lived in Hungary for nearly 20 years and has studied design in both Budapest and London; he takes inspiration from many trips around Europe and Southeast Asia. His bags are available in select shops now...

Also in Paris for the first time, Je Suis Belle are presenting their fifth collection and create a casual, playful, fantasy world for their customers. More Berlin than Paris, more London than Milan, Je Suis Belle bring a unique and feminine take on casual street style!

We're looking forward to seeing everyone later this week!

Kind regards-
