Out of the box / In the box | GLASS.HOUSE pop-up | MOME Fashion and Textile Design | Diploma 2025

This exhibition presents selected works by graduating Fashion and Textile Design MA students from the Moholy-Nagy University of Art and Design. Displayed behind glass – exposed yet enclosed – the pieces stir desire while prompting reflection. 
    
They’re not just about aesthetics – they respond to personal and social concerns through the language of textiles and dress.   Themes of ritual, play, algorithms, the body, spatial experience, and cultural heritage run through the works, each one reflecting a personal design perspective on how we relate to ourselves, our histories, our future, and the world around us. 

As a prelude to the MOME Fashion Show 2025, the exhibition invites not only fashion lovers but anyone interested by the intersections of technology, embodiment, identity, and culture. 
 
At MOME, we believe the future of fashion is shaped by individual vision, thoughtful research, and responsible design, and that cross-disciplinary collaboration and mutual knowledge exchange are catalysts for innovation and positive change. Our programme blends creative practice, research, craftsmanship, and technology to foster a responsible approach to design. 
 
 
 

Exhibiting artists: 

Eszter Kain, Kinga Csorba, Dorottya Viktória Bató, Réka Luca Márton, Karolina Ferencz 

Dorottya Viktória Bató’s experimental collection examines, in a series of steps, how hyper-personalisation affects her as a designer and how her creative processes can remain authentic in the face of it. She set out to develop a design methodology that blurs the lines between personal and digital identities.  

Kinga Csorba’s masterwork takes the form of the Möbius strip as a starting point to explore the visual and spatial possibilities of infinite transformation.  Her garments are in a constant state of flux, looping back into themselves and reflecting on the cyclical nature of change.  

Karolina Ferencz’s collection follows a personal narrative, tracing the stages of identity crisis and culture shock through her contrasting experiences of Transylvania, Budapest and London. The garments reflect the phases of the deconstruction of stress, resistance, assimilation, and tradition, shaped by the different influences of the three cities.   

Emese Horváth’s neon installation invites exploration, shared experience, and spontaneous response. It encourages visitors to enjoy the momentary sensation of pausing, while examining the relationship between space and human presence. Light is treated not as something static but as a constantly shifting phenomenon that changes depending on the number and movement of people in the space, making room for collective play.  

Eszter Kain’s knitted collection responds to stereotypes around female roles, illustrating rites of passage in a woman’s life journey – from birth to death – through white figures drawn from Hungarian folk traditions.  

Réka Luca Márton’s five-piece collection visualises female strength and confidence by reinterpreting classic elements of men’s tailoring, with sculptural silhouettes, pronounced shoulders, and distorted suit patterns striking a balance between femininity and power dressing.
