FASHION LABEL TOMCSANYI IS THE CHILD OF SUCH EXTREMES ONE WOULD FIND IMPOSSIBLE TO COMBINE AT FIRST GLANCE. GROWING UP IN POST-SOCIALIST HUNGARY, FOUNDER & DESIGNER DORI TOMCSANYI DRAWS FROM CHILDHOOD MEMORIES OF HAPPY DAYS IN THE EASTERN BLOC, BUT THOSE RETROSPECTIVE AESTHETICS ARE STRONGLY MIXED WITH HIGH-END FASHION AND TOP-NOTCH MINIMALISM. ICONIC FEATURES OF WOMENSWEAR OF THE BYGONE DAYS OF EASTERN EUROPE AND CUTTING EDGE, MODERN FASHION MAY SEEM EXACT OPPOSITES OF EACH OTHER, BUT THE LABEL MANAGES TO CREATE A SMART FUSION OF THE TWO THAT WORKS LIKE CRAZY. CLASHING CONTRADICTORY PHILOSOPHIES IS ALSO SOMETHING THE DESIGNS DO. UNIFORMITY AND INDIVIDUALISM ARE TOTAL ENEMIES OF EACH OTHER. HOWEVER, DESPERATE DESIRE FOR BEING UNIQUE WILL RESULT IN UNIFORMIZED MASSES, BUT CHOOSING BITS AND PIECES OF UNIFORMS CAN INDIVIDUALIZE.
