We train versatile designers who, in addition to mastering specific competencies, will also gain an understanding of the social, economic and cultural factors influencing the industry. Our students can choose from a range of specialisations such as clothing design, accessory design, woven fabric design, knit fabric design and print fabric design.
Our training programme encourages a responsible mindset by combining creative processes, research, craftsmanship, and technology. We believe that cooperation and knowledge transfer between different fields lead to original ideas, innovative solutions and positive changes.
We offer a unique combination of visual, art history, theoretical and practical studies, with most of the work taking place in the workshops of TechPark, student studios, and a corporate setting.

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.
This year’s Fashion Show, debuting the latest generation of fashion and textile designers of the Moholy-Nagy University of Art and Design (MOME) concluded with resounding success, drawing a full house twice in a row. In keeping with its traditions of and in sync with international fashion week calendars, MOME organised its unusual fashion event and exhibition in the first week of November, once again attracting a great deal of interest. The creations of the young designers this year were inspired by the circularity of life and materials, with a focus on recycled and biodegradable materials.
The works created by the latest generation of product design students of Moholy-Nagy University of Art and Design (MOME), presented at the S/ALON BUDAPEST home trend fair on 22 to 24 September at the Budapest Arena all share a focus on the passion for the traditions of handcrafting, sustainability, innovation, and emotional connection. Uniquely in Hungary, the fair showcases the latest home decor trends, furniture, lighting solutions, flooring and wall coverings, home textiles, and accessories in extraordinary interiors, and is centered around the relationship of design and nature.
Events
As a complementary event to the MOME Fashion Show, already regarded as a tradition, this exhibition features student projects not specifically intended for the catwalk. They reinterpret personal and collective identity through the lens of fashion, textile, and costume design, while addressing profound social and cultural issues.
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.
MOME’s Open Day is back on 2 February, this time in the virtual sphere...
