The Designer of the Month in October is ARTISTA

Studio Artista was founded in 1993 by 6 designers Katalin Imre, Júlia Iván, Ábel Köves, Nóra Rácz, Edina Schön and Katalin Stampf. The designers graduated at the Hungarian Design College (the predecessor of Moholy-Nagy University of Art and Design) and also studied fashion at prestigious universities in Milan or Brighton.

After a while they extended the clothes line with peculiar textile and leather Artista bags and accessories, which are decorated with special prints and the illustrations of contemporary local and international artists (Austrian, Georgian and Ukrainian). Beyond providing special event clothes and wedding dresses they also take individual orders at their Budapest showroom.

Environmental consciousness is a priority for the brand therefore they only create small scale collections. The philosophy of Artista enhances classic, traditional cuts and their use in the contemporary urban style. Layering, the combination of different textures and materials, oriental- as well as casual cuts is characteristic for their new autumn-winter collections which debuts at the October WAMP.

For this special occasion WAMP will host the students of Moholy – Nagy University of Art and Design Budapest (MOME) whose work will debut at WAMP and visitors can also buy their unique small scale products.
