THE BRAND
ARTISTA was found in 1994 in Budapest. The company has a Showroom in Budapest, a flagship store in Vienna. Artista design can be characterized by wearable but still special, classical cuts with extravagant details, and really love to use fabrics in a unique way. The 3 designers studied fashion design in Budapest, Brighton and Milano.
ARTISTA prefers the aesthetic sence, rather than an abstract concept. They respect classic, traditional tailoring, transplanting those lines into a contemporary urban attire, in such a way that, they are paired with extreme lines in a novel interpretation. The traditional japanes sence for colors fabrics and proportions remain one of the main inspiration for the designers. We celebrate the authentic woman who loves freedom, art and music. She is open minded and has good sense for style and quality clothing.
One of the brand's signatures is its own prints, which are created from collaborations with artists season after season.
THE COLLECTION
Beauty in Chaos - AW26/27 collection
A celebration of free dressing, a call to let clothes reflect our mood rather than the occasion.
The beauty of creative chaos responds to the present with an eclectic mix of tradition and experimentation, designed to empower, inspire confidence, and celebrate freedom. What better way to dress in an increasingly unpredictable world than by moving confidently, experiencing beauty, and playing with a little chaos?
With its deconstructed yet structured silhouettes and rebellious yet sophisticated details, the collection conjures up glamour from rawness. In a world where beauty comes from imperfection and the unexpected, it is about finding harmony in contradictions, the aesthetics of controlled wildness, and embracing duality through elements such as unexpected colors, glittering embellishments, and the brand’s signature surprising material combinations.
The prints in the collection are based on paintings by Ludovic Thiriez, a French painter living in Budapest. The painter’s constant theme is time spent in nature with uninhibited curiosity, which resonates deeply with the spirit of the collection.
