As soon as the good weather kicks in, we start to feel that we are ready for a wardrobe touch up, and we are also more susceptible to fashion inspirations, too. Budapest also sensed this somehow, as the next few days offer some very fine fashion programs. However, the second week of March does not only favor fashionistas: an exhibition opening, workshop events, a smART!XTRA talk and a comics discussion also made their way into our current selection. Let’s see the details!
wonderLAB Birthday
Music, champagne and designer pieces – wonderLAB allures us to their 8th birthday with these, and we cannot and would not resist the invitation. WonderLAB is a community and store consisting of more than thirty young Hungarian designers, with the purpose of making Hungarian designers known by the most people possible. On this special day, they even prepare an extra surprise: several former member designers, including Soie Essentielle, ZSOFI HIDASI, NISE Design and many others will return to present their products with the current team.
When: March 10, 2020, 16:00-22:00

Trendmuse FashionClub – Fashion talks
Textile designers and fashion history fans, this one goes out to you! Trendmuse Agency creative agency and trend office announces a series of talks: the largest fashion houses and international fashion exhibitions will be in focus at the evenings organized at Clique Design Studio. On Tuesday evening, you can learn about the revolutionary work of Yves Saint Laurent, and then Szilvia Horváth will talk about the exhibition organized in Palais Galliera in 2019 titled Back Side / Fashion from Behind. The peculiarity of the exhibition is that it put the back of the clothes showcased (may it be from the 18th century or a contemporary piece) in focus. The talks will be continued on Thursday, when participants can learn about the life and inspiration of Christian Dior as well as the iconic dresses of the brand, but the history of French haute couture and the brand’s modern image will not be left out either.
When: March 10, 2020, 17:00 – March 12, 20:30
Where: Clique Design Studio
