THE DESIGNER
Dóri Tomcsányi brings a distinctive voice to contemporary fashion, shaped by her upbringing at the crossroads of Hungarian nobility and socialist working-class values. This dual heritage informs the collections of her eponymous brand, TOMCSANYI, where childhood memories of post-socialist Hungary and a lifelong love of textiles come to life. Drawing on midcentury minimalism and national identity, her work explores how tradition can evolve through modern design. Dóri leads her independent label with a tight-knit team—including pattern designer Viola Balázs and skilled seamstresses—and shares her expertise as a fashion design lecturer at Moholy-Nagy University of Art and Design while pursuing postgraduate studies.
THE BRAND
TOMCSANYI is a Budapest-based slow fashion womenswear brand defined by on-demand production and a love for playful prints. Launched in 2012 and spotlighted by Susie Bubble, the brand reimagines everyday beauty through bold colors and offbeat patterns. Early collections were rooted in post-socialist Hungary, drawing inspiration from local life, midcentury design, and industrial oddities. Over time, TOMCSANYI’s focus has deepened—now exploring Hungarian identity through folk-inspired motifs and national symbols. Each piece blends cultural storytelling with sustainable values, vibrant prints with refined tailoring, resulting in a wardrobe that’s both expressive and timeless.
THE COLLECTION
Home as work. Work as heritage.
The Autumn / Winter 2026 collection draws inspiration from the invisible, repetitive, and deeply human rhythm of domestic labour. From ironing boards and pantry shelves to tiled kitchens and carefully labelled jars, this collection turns everyday home rituals into visual language.
Motifs of working women appear across prints — caught mid-task, focused, strong, uncelebrated. Retro tiles, rows of preserves, and decorative shelf borders are reimagined as repeating patterns, transforming functional domestic elements into ornament, memory, and statement.
This season, home is not a backdrop but a central character. The collection reflects on “women’s work” — often overlooked, rarely archived — and elevates it into something visible, wearable, and worthy of attention.
Alongside garments, the world of TOMCSANYI expands into bed linen and home textiles, blurring the boundaries between what we wear and where we live. Clothing and interiors speak the same visual language: familiar, intimate, and quietly powerful.
AW26 is a tribute to care, routine, and the beauty found in daily work — a collection about labour, love, and the poetry of the ordinary.
