About
Brigitta Szekernyés is a Hungarian designer who graduated from the Sustainable Fashion and Business bachelor’s program at the Copenhagen School of Design & Technology in 2018. She launched her own project, Solær, in 2022 specializing in one-of-a-kind crochet and knitwear. She recently graduated with a master’s degree in Fashion and Textiles from The Royal Danish Academy in Copenhagen, where she deepened her commitment to sustainability, innovation, and craftsmanship. Her work, focusing on slow fashion, yarn experimentation, and upcycling, has been featured in various online and print media, and showcased at Milan, Copenhagen, and Budapest Fashion Week.
"Where the Sun Rises Twice" is a personal collection that transforms garments into wearable time capsules. Rooted in memories of childhood summers in Torockó, Transylvania, it interweaves Hungarian folklore, myth, and family stories with sustainable craft practices. Through crochet, zero-waste digital knit, and upcycled textiles, each piece preserves fragments of place, play, and intimacy, while challenging fashion’s disposability. The collection is anchored in a universal longing: to return to a place that exist only in memory, and to hold onto what might otherwise fade. Its title references a natural phenomenon in Torockó, where the sun briefly disappears behind the mountain only to rise again soon after - a metaphor for garments that give second life to both materials and memories, reinterpreted through craft and care.
