NORMCORE WHAT?

Normcore: the new 'fashion word' everyone's been buzzing about lately. What is it? What do the outfits look like? Technically, it is about dressing simply and dressing however you like. It's putting your regular white tee and jeans on, a pair of regular shoes and throwing on a jacket (perhaps leather or jean) with a minimal accessory. Normcore combines 'normal' and 'hardcore' - a way of dressing in average looking clothes without your labels showing, being unpretentious, choosing unisex clothing options to create a relaxed, 'I don't really care but I still do care' look.

Still confused? Some models are too...

Watch the video below and check out some inspirations...

This is my idea of 'high fashion' and 'street style' combined...

CENTRAL EUROPEAN FASHION DAYS

This F/W season, fashion week(end) in Budapest is going to look a little differently as Toni & Guy Fashion Week Budapest is teaming up with Central European Fashion Days. The weekend event is including talented designers from the 'Visegrad Group' - Czech Republic, Poland, Slovakia and Hungary - to represent their collections. Not only will it be inclusive to the fashionista crowd, but also to the general public; giving an opportunity for a larger audience and the public to see the creativity we have in these countries. The event is being raised to a more professional standard on the international market, as IMG Fashion, including New York and Berlin Fashion Week are offering their support to the smooth running of the event. Which means that CEFD is added to the calendar of the largest international fashion weeks and will have a close following!

"Large-scale collaboration is another step in the direction for Budapest to become a cultural centre for the region." - Gergely Horvath, CEFD key partner, Hungarian National Tourist Office's Deputy Chief Executive.

This is exactly what I mentioned in my last observations about TGFW Budapest and am happy that Budapest has been chosen as the city for all of this to happen in. There are many designers who aren't as well known (from Eastern European countries) on an international scale, but the potential is there for them to become well known and to make Budapest a hot spot for style recognition and fashion weeks to grow with each season passing. I am looking forward to seeing the collections and designs for the S/S 15 season!

SO DELICIOUS

Budapest Design Week is just around the corner and an interesting exhibition of fashion and gastronomy is taking Hungarian clothing designers and confectioners to the next level in creativity. The "So Delicious Fashion" exhibition combines ten Hungarian fashion designers to represent their individual style in the style of a cake! How sweet!

Each designer will be representing their creations along with their stylistic cake at the Sofitel Budapest Chain Bridge Hotel. During Budapest Design Week, these creations are going to be available for viewing and the cakes can be purchased at the Paris Budapest Restaurant.

The varying Hungarian styles are so peacefully in line with their cake creations and are well represented in the category of Hungarian creativity and diversity. No matter your style, you'll find the perfectly fitting dessert!

Now, I'd like them all for my upcoming birthday please and thank you! :)

Take a peek below to see the cakes and 'matching' designs.

Can you guess which Hungarian designer is being represented below?
