Beautiful girls and dresses in Hungary! Budapest Fashion Week started – PHOTOS

The Hungarian Fashion & Design Agency (HFDA) organised the Budapest Central European Fashion Week (BCEFW) before the International Fashion Weeks to display the works of Hungarian brands and designers to the international scene early on.

The Budapest Central European Fashion Week (BCEFW) is one of the largest fashion events in Central Europe that “ensures the introduction of Hungarian and Central European designers to the fashion industry, the press, and the general public”.

According to Roadster, the Hungarian Fashion & Design Agency (HFDA) organises events twice a year to showcase the designers’ Spring-Summer and Autumn-Winter collections.

The last event was organised in October 2021 and showcased the previous collection, while the current BCEFW is held between 31^st January and 6^th February.

Roadster writes that the HFDA has prepared an exclusive experience where over 30 designers from Hungary and its neighbouring region can introduce their collection to the market, retailers and the media, ahead of the larger international event.

The week will be dotted with public events and exhibitions all over Budapest.

The list of the events is easily accessible for English speakers HERE.

On the last three days of the BCEFW, the designers will hold catwalk shows in two different renowned locations to display their pieces on models.

This time, the venue for the catwalk shows on the 4^th of February will be the Royal Guard & Riding Hall at Buda Castle, which has been recently renovated.

On Saturday and Sunday (4^th and 5^th of February), the Museum of Fine Arts in Budapest will host the shows.

The CEO of HFDA said to Roadster that “[we] have made a strategic decision when we decided to organise the Budapest Central European Fashion Week nearly a month earlier in order to connect the Hungarian fashion industry to the international professional event and to strengthen the international recognition of BCEFW”.

The organisers expect a similarly diverse audience like the one in autumn with around 4,000 guests from the US, Europe and the Middle East.
