Dorka’s finals collection is a tribute to traditions and imperfections
Dorka grew up in Hungary, and that background forms the foundation of her finals collection for the bachelor's programme Fashion Design. She drew inspiration from the traditions of her homeland. Reflections on the passage of time, the power of rituals, and what we pass on to the next generation.
It's a celebration of those small cracks that make everything unique."
