First impression:  wow, we are in for quite a range of variety today. That was one of my first thoughts as I arrived at the intimate Apollo Gallery for the opening day of Budapest Central European Fashion Week. And that thought proved entirely correct. From the Czech Republic to Ukraine, from Slovenia to Slovakia, day one alone felt like a cross-border dialogue — all without leaving the gallery halls — a gentle reminder of how essential regional platforms are in expanding the

Yesterday marked the close of Haute Couture Week Spring/Summer 2026. With the final shows wrapped, this felt like the right moment to pause and look back at the collections that resonated most, the standout debuts, and the shared threads that quietly wove their way across the week.

O ver the last few years, something interesting has happened. Cities outside the traditional circuit have begun to enter the global conversation — Copenhagen, with its sust

I said it earlier this year, and I’m afraid I’ll have to say it again. The economic and political instability in the world has fully brought back conservatism. But what does that really mean — and where do we see it reflected? I swear I’m not pushing it too far. For once, I wish I was. I had been hesitant to write this piece, not because I object to modesty or tradition, but because I didn’t want to reduce something so complex to a political label. I have no issue with people

After some hard work, sweat, tears, and a fair amount of discernment, I’ve pulled together the standout moments from the Big Apple’s fashion week — from runway extravaganzas setting the tone for Spring/Summer 2026 to the street style trends already shaping how we’ll dress this fall. This roundup distills the season’s defining shows, prevailing moods, and the looks that stole the spotlight on and off the catwalk. Fashion’s first official stop came and went in the blink of an e
