Our students can deepen their research and expertise in three areas, fashion, textile and costume design, to meet the highest professional challenges as expert and confident designers.
The programme focuses on the development of the designer identity, and helps students sharpen and advance their existing traditional craft and digital technical and theoretical skills. Students can develop their individual styles through research, experimentation and interoperability across broader professional disciplines.
Enabled by scholarships, they can build European professional communities with their peers and meet internationally renowned guest lecturers at our school. The implementation of diploma projects is supported by the faculty, TechPark’s experts, as well as our external professional partners.

What does it mean to be a responsible fashion designer, and what role does education play in this regard? What influences are most apparent in the work of the latest generation of designers? Each year, the Fashion and Textile Design programme at the Moholy-Nagy University of Art and Design (MOME) hosts a Fashion Show, showcasing the work of its graduating students and alumni which not only hold aesthetic value but also convey powerful social and cultural messages. This time, the entire visual concept of the show was designed by students, while the alumni community is represented by the latest collection of the THEFOUR brand, which has recently opened their own store.
At the Best of MOME ‘23, this year’s top MA diploma projects from the Moholy-Nagy University of Art and Design made their debut on 14 October at the Kastner Kommunity. The event highlighted the questions and issues that occupy the minds of the youngest generation of designers and the various design responses to them.
Events
In line with the best practices of international fashion schools and in sync with international fashion weeks, the MOME FASHION SHOW will once again take place this year, under the professional direction of Kele Ildikó and Viola Balázs. The MOME Fashion Show aims to provide a platform for the university's fashion, textile, and costume design students, introducing the next generation of designers to a broader audience.
Facilities
In addition to performing assignments from the Garment Accessory Design Specialisation of the Textile Design Programme, leather craft, as well as shoe and hat-making technologies are also taught. It is a modelling workshop with state-of-the-art equipment that also interacts with other workshops (Modelling, Metal, 3D Printer, Laser Cutting). In addition to raw materials made of natural leather, this workshop also deals with textiles, films, and other alternative materials.
Students of the Textil Department can make garments of design task in the Fashion workshop.
In the Fashion workshop students can learn different skills, pattern development (flat pattern making, draping and CAD/CAM), tailoring, sewing, ironing, fusing technology.
The Knitting Workshop at TechPark allows students to learn the fundamentals of machine knitting on 7 double needle-bed manual flat-knitting machines, 9 single needle-bed manual flat-knitting machines (Silver Reed LK150) and 8 electronically-controlled double needle-bed flat-knitting machines (Silver Reed SK 840) of different types and levels of subtlety. Three band-knitting machines and a string knitting machine are also available.
Certain threads can be made suitable for knitting with the 2x4 head cross winding machine in the workshop. The sheets produced on the flat knitting machines can be made into cardigans and other knitted garments with the help of a hem stitch sewing machine and a chain stich sewing machine.
