About
Throughout my time at NTU as a Fashion student, I found my true passion, which was menswear. For my graduate collection, I focused on expressing my Hungarian heritage with unique fabrications through laser engraving and knitwear, combining relaxed silhouettes with bold patterns, allowing me to create eye-catching yet still very wearable looks which I have always strived for.
Drawing from my Hungarian heritage and the cherished hand-embroidered tablecloths of my great-grandmother, I embarked on a creative journey culminating in the birth of KORPA, my menswear brand. Fuelled by a passion for preserving tradition through contemporary expression, my final year project became a testament to innovative design. KORPA breathes new life into ancestral motifs through intricate laser engraving techniques and the artistry of knitwear, weaving together the threads of tradition and innovation. Each garment tells a story of cultural reverence and artistic evolution, honouring the past while embracing the future. KORPA stands as a tribute to my roots, a celebration of craftsmanship, and a testament to the enduring beauty of heritage in the ever-changing tapestry of fashion.
