This is what I packed for Budapest Central European Fashion Week. Metallic suiting. Lace jumpsuits. Ribbed dresses. Tailored Sets. Super luxurious eveningwear. The trip began by pulling up to the very beautiful Botaniq Castle in Tura, Hungary as it started snowing. It felt like a scene from a movie. I’m in love with the blue carpeting and draping in my room. This castle turned hotel was the perfect place to decompress after the long flight before a full weekend of runway shows and presentations. To prepare for a very busy weekend, the team and I spent a lot of time in the spa. From there, we made our way to Verno House in the central city, our home base for the fashion week. It was incredible to see both the old and new Budapest with both locations. I was so inspired by all the architecture. Verno House is modern and sleek and right smack in the middle of the city. We had back to back shows that honestly felt like a party…they were so fun. It was definitely a breath of fresh air! I have a few Budapest Fashion Week favorites: Cukovy for super chic winter après ski looks and AERON for everyday city essentials made with incredible fabrics. I am so grateful for this very unique experience. I can’t wait to revisit this part of the world one day.
