TRANSCARPATHIAN SLOW FASHION

About

The exhibition ’Transcarpathian Slow Fashion’ presents the unique world of the Hungarian fashion brand BY ME, founded by Hungarian fashion designer Tünde Hrivnák. Inspired by Hungarian folk traditions and craftsmanship, the brand transforms heritage into contemporary luxury fashion while promoting sustainability, cultural identity, and artisanal excellence. The central focus of the exhibition is the Collection with Transcarpathian Motifs, a contemporary fashion collection inspired by the Hungarian cultural heritage of Transcarpathia (the westernmost part of Ukraine, where Hungarian communities have lived for centuries). The collection reinterprets three significant craft traditions of the region: Bereg handwoven textiles, Nagydobrony cross-stitch embroidery, and the Bereg cross-stitch motif heritage. The garments combine traditional craftsmanship with modern design, creating wearable works of art. Alongside the main collection, the exhibition also presents a glimpse into other collections, highlighting unique lace traditions and craftsmanship. Together, these collections demonstrate how traditional Hungarian craftsmanship can be preserved, revitalised, and reimagined for the 21st century. Transcarpathian Slow Fashion celebrates cultural heritage, conscious and sustainable design, artworks, and the importance of handmade craftsmanship.
