Fresh from Paris Fashion Week, Hungarian designer T\u00fcnde Hrivn\u00e1k traveled to Marymount University to introduce fashion design majors to the traditional folk art of Hungarian hand embroidery, a hallmark of her couture collections. The workshop and fashion show was part of an ongoing educational and cultural exchange made possible by the host site relationship between Marymount and the Washington, D.C., American Hungarian Heritage House.\u00a0<\/p>\n

Hrivn\u00e1k was accompanied by models from her Budapest design house who showcased pieces from her line. Hand embroidery artisan Bernadett Papp from Mez\u00f5k\u00f6vesd demonstrated stitch techniques and modeled a vintage regional embroidered outfit. Papp has been officially recognized by the Hungarian government for her craftsmanship and dedication to keeping the centuries-old native folk art alive.\u00a0<\/p>\n

Hungarian State Secretaries of the Department of Agriculture Andrea Gulyas and Zsolt V. Nemeth, who is also a member of Parliament, both have a keen interest in preserving Hungary\u0092s artistic heritage and traveled to Marymount as part of the workshop delegation. Erika and Stefan Fedor, parents of a Marymount alumnus, facilitated the event and helped translate for the group.\u00a0Stefan is an\u00a0American Hungarian Heritage House board member.<\/p>\n

With her passion for intertwining traditional folk art patterns with innovative contemporary designs, Hrivn\u00e1k has become a pivotal figure in the revival of Hungarian embroidery.\u00a0\u00a0\u0094I grew up in the rural town of T\u00f3tkoml\u00f3s where traditions are held in high esteem, hence my love for folk motifs,\u0094 she said. She was taught to sew as a young girl by her seamstress mother and grandmother. Her couture collections, wedding dress line, and corporate, event and sports association uniform collections all incorporate richly colored, floral and geometrical embroidery patterns and are characterized by \u0093the meticulous handwork of the Hungarian folk art motifs.\u0094 She uses the traditional Hungarian flower pattern, such as the regional motifs from Kalocsa, Kalotaszeg, and Mez?k\u00f6vesd, often updating by changing out the national vibrant red for white.<\/p>\n

MU Professor of Fashion Design & Merchandising Latisha Winston<\/a> said, \u0093It was an extraordinary real-world teaching moment which expanded our students\u0092 horizons as they gained an appreciation for preserving irreplaceable traditions in hand-crafted artistry and finding ways in the world of high-end fashion to make it fresh and new in contemporary designs.\u0094<\/p>\n

Gifts were exchanged at a luncheon in honor of the Hungarian guests and attended by\u00a0\u00a0Marymount officials, including President Matthew D. Shank and Vice President for Advancement Joe Foster<\/a>. Fedor, who was instrumental in putting together Marymount\u0092s American Hungarian Heritage House alliance, explained, \u0093Marymount serving as the cultural host site offers an entire campus to host lectures, programs and performances that build relationships with the Hungarian-American community, as it enriches the global mosaic of the University community.\u0094<\/p>\n

At an official signing ceremony in Budapest earlier in the year, Marymount entered into an educational and training cooperation agreement with Hungary\u0092s National University of Public Service (NUPS) \u0096 a bilateral alliance between the two universities focused initially on criminal justice, forensics and cybersecurity curriculum. \u0093This opportunity for a cultural and educational exchange in fashion design and merchandising is a great example of how the cooperative educational agreement could expand into other disciplines,\u0094 Fedor added.<\/p>\n
