A Fusion of French Elegance and Budapest Style

Séyli Boutique’s founder, Dorka Ilyés (pictured above on right), blends her experiences from studying in France with the refined style of Budapest women. "Ida Bistro was the perfect venue for this collection debut as it embodies the same elegant, effortless chic that Séyli's clothes represent.

With the holiday collection, I want to show how we can seamlessly incorporate elegance into our everyday lives. Fittings at my boutique are not just about trying on clothes; they are rituals where we work together to find the piece that truly makes the customer feel like themselves," Dorka explains with a smile.

Tailored Choices, Personalized Attention

Among the models at the event was Leila Gyenesei, an Olympic pentathlete, who emphasized Dorka’s attention to individual needs. "I’m 180 cm tall and never wear heels, so it’s hard to find clothes that truly fit me and feel comfortable. Yet Dorka always sees me in her designs, and I immediately felt at home in this champagne-colored piece."

Similarly, Krisztina László, editor-in-chief of Remind magazine, who swears by light colors, was equally enthusiastic. "This pantsuit is simply perfect! It’s sparkling but not flashy, and it’s wearable in any season. Dorka and I chose it together, and I know we always make the right choice as a team."

Letting Go of the Rules

Fashion is art—this is Dorka’s philosophy, and she encourages everyone to step out of their comfort zones. "Many people put themselves in a box: ‘This is the only thing that suits me!’ But clothes often come alive only when you try them on.

As the holidays approach, I encourage everyone to approach fashion more freely, let your creativity soar. A touch of sparkle or an exciting accessory can elevate even the simplest outfit. It’s worth experimenting because amazing results can come from it."

Knits Without Constraints

This winter’s standout trend—knits—also features in the collection. Patrícia Szabó, PR expert and founder of Neszeszer Blog, is a fan of stylish yet comfortable pieces: "I spend most of my life in knitwear. They’re practical yet chic, and they can be easily dressed up when I want something extra. Dorka always inspires me to try new things, and these pieces really convey that there’s no wrong choice, only the one you don’t try."

Christmas Magic Wrapped in Uniqueness

The holiday collection at Séyli Boutique is not just about clothes but self-expression. "The most important thing is for everyone to find the piece that makes them feel like themselves and reflects their personality," Dorka concludes.

The exclusive fashion show offered not only inspiration but also festive cheer. Once again, Séyli Boutique proved that Parisian elegance and Budapest creativity meet in perfect harmony during the holiday season.

"Séyli Boutique is a magical place where you can forget your everyday worries," says Andrea Molnár, a regular visitor. "Dorka always knows exactly what Budapest women want and how to highlight their individuality. This boutique offers an experience where Dorka’s personalized attention and natural touch come to life,” she continues.

“Before Christmas, it’s especially important to shine in an outfit that truly reflects us. For me, this burgundy, aubergine-toned pantsuit is perfect—it works for an office party or an elegant Christmas dinner," Andrea shares about her chosen look, which Dorka accentuated with unique brooches.
