KATA SZEGEDI

THE BRAND

Kata Szegedi and her best friend Daniel Benus met in 2002 while studying at ‘Kisképző’ Secondary School of Fine and Applied Arts Budapest. Their aim is to create pieces full of passion, Objects of Desire.

Founded by Kata in 2009, Kata Szegedi is one of the most important Hungarian brands in the contemporary fashion scene. The independent, Budapest-based label's vision contains innovative, modern design for a cosmopolitan individual who is self-assured and proud of their individual image; the one, who values the expression of originality in her day-to-day life. The love for contrasts is reflected throughout every single piece, experimenting a lot with silhouettes, shapes, textures and colours creates an eclectic, visual statement. Inspiration drawn from contemporary art, youth culture and urban lifestyle is combined with an emphasis on tailoring and the use of custom-developed fabrics. The interesting marriage of streetwear influences, Hungarian sensibilities and global motifs presents a playful and fresh attitude to the effortless 21th century 'power-human'.

Collections were featured in Milan, Helsinki, Berlin, Paris and Budapest, Fashion Week, worn by celebrities like Róisín Murphy, Nicki Minaj, Kelly Rowland, Eniko Mihalik, Vanessa Axente, and Little Dragon’s Yukimi Nagano. Appeared in magazines like Vogue Italia, Schön, The Room, Marie Claire, Elle, Glamour, InStyle, Sleek, and Indie. The duo is on the right track to sharing their powerful and vibrant creations with a wider audience.

THE COLLECTION

The Fall 2025 collection of Kata Szegedi focuses on revisiting previous statement pieces of the brand, their movement and behaviour with different textures and new colour combinations. Creating collage-like looks, sculpted to fit from day to night. The cut-out textures and architectural silhouettes, which are connected together with streetwear icons like sweaters and bomber jackets, give a fresh new mixture and easy-to-combine pieces. The faux fur and heavy wools create a modular, hand-sewn Roads look, rebuilding the brand’s well-known signatures. Contemporary streetwear, music and art’s newest faces give inspiration to create these moving sculptures.

“Mixing textures for us characterizes the curious urban human of our days, who is confident and feels free to match pieces that most people wouldn’t think to wear together; but instead of vanishing in the volume of fabrics, strengthens their own personality by being daring,” say the designers.

The collection is made up of prints made from our crafted woven fabric photographed by Ádám Jelen, faux fur, heavy wool, tasseled surfaces, impregnated textiles and soft knits in terms of fabric use. The determining colors are Madagascar green, chrome grey, sky blue, cherry, silver and black.
