Levitating Fashion
Let us introduce to you yet another Hungarian talent on
the fashion scene! Anna Horváth has graduated at the
London College of Fashion last year and has just recently
returned to Budapest to build up her own brand, annCHI.
Anna grew up in Budapest in an auction house, where she
was surrounded by artists and art dealers from an early
age. This had a fundamental infl uence on her work as a
painter and fashion designer. Her graduation collection
was based on Hungarian painter Moholy-Nagy’s levitating
shapes and his life-long experimentations on transparency:
by using overlapping see-through fabrics such
as organza and chiffon, annCHI was able to mix colors.
For now, Anna designs clothes and jewelry, but shoes and
bags are soon to follow! Check out more pics with levitating
clothes on her webpage.

Actors on Firewalls
Have you been at the National Theater lately? If so, you might have noticed
some faces on the formerly dull and gray wall of the Rákóczi Bridge, faces that
might be familiar to you, but are surely familiar to Hungarians. On the occasion
of the 10th birthday of the inauguration of the National Theater (a piece
of highly controversial architecture by the way), the group of Suppré-Neopaint
have painted the faces of the ‘Actors of the Nation’. Gábor Agárdy, Ferenc
Bessenyei, Juci Komlós, Ferenc Kállai, Dezső Garas, Margit Lukács, Imre
Sinkovits, Ferenc Zenthe and Gellért Raksányi – they’re all smiling at the pedestrians
going by their daily business (only Iván Darvas is missing, his widow
has not approved of the project). The painting is part of Suppré-Neopaint’s
FirewallRehab project, which does not stop here: the winning piece of the
Re-button fashion design competition will be painted onto a fi rewall as well…

Retro Living
Here’s a secret tip for those on the hunt for that retro feel:
Möbelkunst, a huge collection of furniture from the 1950
to the 1980. It all started as a private collection that has
grown for years, until the point where the owners had to
start to sell in order not to get lost inside their self-built
labyrinth. Now the guys at Möbelkunst regularly buy and
sell original pieces from the era (contemporary copies are
not welcome here), mostly from Scandinavian designers,
but Hungarian designs can be found as well. Furniture,
lamps, accessories, posters, tiny trinkets – everything in
one place, whether it’s famous designers’ cultic pieces or
unknown yet stylish items. The place’s fl air is further enhanced
by the fact that it’s located in an old factory building
outside the 9th district.
Möbelkunst
1097 Budapest, Földvárí utca 4.
