Fashion Week Hungary SEASON 01
Season 01 · Budapest
Show your collection in Budapest
Season 01 brand applications are open until 30 September 2026.
Application formsFashion Week Hungary is where Hungarian and Central European labels meet international buyers and press. Every application is read on the same four things: what the collection says, whether the production can carry it, what the market already shows, and how the brand works day to day. The application fee is 9 900 HUF + VAT in every category; a participation fee, where the category has one, becomes due only after the Advisory Board confirms your place.
What we look for
A show has to hold together across twenty looks, run to the minute, and give a buyer a reason to open a notebook. That is the level Milan and Paris work at, and the level we produce at — but built around the designers of this region rather than a borrowed template. What Budapest adds is room: enough space on the calendar for a new name to be seen properly, and an audience that knows this scene.

How selection works
Review
The Advisory Board reads every application on creative direction, production capacity, market readiness and responsible practice.
Category
Selected brands receive a proposed category with its production conditions, timings and technical requirements.
Confirm
Participation becomes final once the brand accepts its category and signs the participation agreement.
