Not one trend, but a field of research

On September 3, the 2026 MOME Fashion Show presented the graduate work of Moholy-Nagy University of Art and Design fashion and textile students across three sold-out shows. ELLE Hungary’s September 15 report describes projects spanning identity, gender roles, urban life and material research.

Boglárka Fodor examined the idealised tradwife aesthetic promoted by social media. Orsolya Gerencsér developed a biocomposite from brewer’s spent grain. Nikoletta Diána Horváth translated the logic of Csetnek lace into a bridal collection made with natural fibres, while Nóra Pasker constructed bags from a single sheet of leather.

Sustainability is no longer a separate chapter

The strongest shared statement was that sustainability is not a decorative label, but a principle embedded in choices of material, technology and form. Students also contributed to the visual identity, backstage operation, hair and makeup; young artists from the Hungarian Dance University delivered the closing performance.
