THE DESIGNER
Dorottya Csókási, founder of CHOKASSY, translates her deep-rooted connection to Hungarian heritage into a contemporary, conscious design philosophy.
A graduate of Central Saint Martins Womenswear, she reinterprets cultural motifs by transforming deadstock natural fabrics and objet trouvé garments, honoring traditional craftsmanship and the living heritage embedded in her design processes.
Her collections balance precise tailoring, functionality, and sensitivity, crafting a versatile wardrobe that reflects both heritage and the evolving future of fashion—where the emphasis lies not only on sustainability, but on the enduring value of craftsmanship and cultural memory.
THE BRAND
CHOKASSY embodies a harmonious fusion of tradition and innovation, crafting timeless designs that build community and reconnect people to their cultural roots.
More than sustainable fashion, the brand is rooted in the preservation of craftsmanship, storytelling, and Hungarian heritage.
Through circular design practices and the transformation of deadstock and pre-loved materials, CHOKASSY reimagines craftsmanship for a new era—where sustainability is not a trend, but a natural extension of respect for the past.
Every piece is a bridge between memory and modernity, reflecting a deeper connection to places, people, and purpose.
THE COLLECTION
The Autumn–Winter 2026/27 collection, Measures of a Woman, reflects the layers, strength, and sensitivity that define contemporary femininity.
The title speaks to both the inner and outer dimensions of a woman, connecting physical presence with emotional, intellectual, and cultural depth. It introduces the CHOKASSY woman to the world: a figure rooted in her heritage, confidently navigating the rhythm of modern life.
In an era where speed often overrides substance, the collection offers garments that are both dependable and desirable. Each piece embodies self-assurance, continuity, and identity—designed to support women in movement, expression, and presence.
The aesthetic merges tailored structures with sensual femininity. Clean, reliable silhouettes are enriched with artisanal details inspired by Hungarian craftsmanship. As in previous collections, sharp cuts meet fluid drapes, creating a dialogue between discipline and spontaneity—often derived from gestures as humble and intuitive as folding a cloth.
Silhouette research draws from traditional clothing, revisiting earlier CHOKASSY signatures such as vállfűs blouses, handkerchief skirts, and tailored men’s trousers, reinterpreted through contemporary techniques. The focus lies in the spatial dialogue between volume and cut, shaping the female form with intention and clarity.
The colour palette is inspired by Impressionism’s fleeting sense of presence. Hues of fallen foliage and a spectrum of greys are illuminated by delicate yet sharp accents of light. Craft techniques such as weaving and soutache embroidery reappear, reaffirming the collection’s commitment to material knowledge and handwork.
Measures of a Woman is an ode to womanhood itself. Rooted in emotional experience and intuitive understanding, the collection celebrates creativity, sensitivity, and the timeless beauty of the feminine spirit.
