Natasa Hódosi

"The idea was to make clothes that can’t seem to make up their mind." In her MA collection, Hódosi aims to narrate her design process through the clothes themselves—ideas overriding one another, last-minute changes of mind, or a somewhat overindulgence in newness that leads back to where it began but never quite settles. Garments start and end in a simplified format, with all the ‘could-have-beens’ laid among them. In the project, clothes are primarily designed in a two-dimensional space, which they never fully leave. Treated almost as visual compositions, this becomes both a way of working and a visual language that is carried through the collection. Garment patterns are used for their two-dimensional qualities, suggesting ideas without further committing to them. The work moves between digital and manual processes and techniques, with a strong emphasis on materiality, where ideas are carried, shifted, and reworked through the handling of textiles and surfaces.
