How can fashion be both sustainable, respectful of traditions, and deeply personal? This is the question explored in the What Will We Wear in the Future? exhibition which opened in April at the National Carpet Museum in Baku as part of the Central European Cultural Platform (PCCE) collaboration. The exhibition features works by design and art university students from four Central European countries (Austria, Slovakia, the Czech Republic, and Hungary), including ten students from the MOME Fashion and Textile Design MA programme.
Seven first-place prizes, five third-place finishes, and two special recognitions – the 37th OTDK, the most prestigious Hungarian science and art competition for university students, was held in Eger from 23 to 25 April, with MOME students achieving unprecedented success. Our students won a total of fourteen awards in the Arts and Humanities Section, which saw the participation of 400 students.
How can traditional folk art, its associated ancient craft techniques, and materials be reimagined through the lens of contemporary design? This is the central question explored by the Future Traditions programme, which celebrates its tenth anniversary this year and has become a defining component of the Fashion and Textile Design MA programme at Moholy-Nagy University of Art and Design (MOME). In 2024, the programme took place as part of the Hungarian-Turkish Cultural Season, with MOME students collaborating for a semester with Istanbul's Marmara University. The results of this collaboration will be showcased in an exhibition at the Hungarian Cultural Centre in Istanbul.
