To get in the mood to write this beloved article, I am currently drinking a 40% homemade palinka to get my creative juices flowing. Once again, I have received a special invite from Design Terminal, to come to Mercedes Benz Fashion Week Central Europe. I was told that I was a ‘main contributor’ – whatever that means… no, I didn’t give them any money nor am I Mercedes Benz. I was at least not being searched for on the registration list this time, they knew who I was when I got there. On Saturday, day 1, I was not allowed to go backstage BUT on Sunday, I was VIP. Very Important Press. Till this point, I have not received the press package, but I was allowed to sit behind the white mysterious curtain. As you might have read in my previous posts, I have already described that there was special security behind a white curtain, however, there was no bellboy asking me which Hungaria sparkling vine I would like, or palinka (by the way, where was the palinka stand this time?) and I did not really see the ‘VIP’ of this VIP section. A few rows of stairs with pillows to sit and watch the white curtain, with the new model of a Benz behind it.

Generally, the organization this year around was much more organized and the crowd was ‘more selected’ because the entrance price to see the shows was much higher. There were more people who were ‘related to the fashion industry’ rather than the street bandits who came to place their jackets in front row and block the views with their selfie sticks. Although, please, next time – just wait for the models to come down the runway people. There is no need to be sticking your heads out to see what’s coming. Just be patient. Wait. Once the model is in your view, that is when it is your opportunity to take your Snapchat, rather than blocking the view of everyone sitting next to you.
Konsanszky: the designer I used to stand up and clap for, as they had beautiful cuts and good designs but now all there was were resembling ‘satin’ track suits, shirts, trousers… I am certain I can find similar items at Tesco, from the F&F collection (for a better price). I believe in simplicity but what can we expect customers to pay for? The 90’s are back, but this? No more comments as this was quite sad and painful to witness.
Generally, a great collection for both women and men, offering current trends however, men would not particularly wear overly tight leggings or ripped jeans. It might be too tight for their nether regions and a health concern.
