About
I'm Nóra, and I specialized in fashion accessories and pattern design. Studying these fields simultaneously within textile design has profoundly influenced my work. I enjoy incorporating my pattern designs and printed elements into my fashion accessories, enhancing their expression to communicate my visual identity more vividly. When creating a collection, I explore the interplay between colors and shapes, delving into their connections to craft unique and cohesive designs. In the near future, I intend to deepen my studies with an MA in Fashion and Textile Design and seek professional opportunities.
I conducted research into nonverbal communication and challenged myself to visually interpret and represent these types of interactions. By exploring how we 'speak' with our body and space—through fields such as haptics, proxemics, chronemics, and kinesics—I aimed to rephrase these forms of language into experimental objects. To refine my focus, I concentrated on kinesics, as it encompasses many aspects of the other fields. Exploring movement and its visual and technical aspects, I incorporated mobility into my designs in two ways. First, plexiglass panels functioning as handles are attached to the bags with a belt screw, allowing them to pivot. Second, by adapting pattern designs, the colorful stripes on the bags and printed plexiglass handles interact to create a moiré effect. This integration of movement and patterns enhances my visual identity, resulting an experimental approach in fashion accessories. consultant: Judit Bráda photos of the final objects: Péter Bakó

My aim was to incorporate motion and interacting pattern elements within the field of pattern design, presenting a personal challenge that pushed the boundaries of traditional approaches. Focusing on the theme of movement, I explored both the optical effects that convey motion through the interplay of static shapes and colors, as well as patterns that are genuinely dynamic. I developed a collection of 12 animated patterns, which I showcased in a video format. From these animations, I selected specific phases and transformed them into traditional pattern designs. consultant: Tünde Bényei
