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.
