“A garment needs to be carefully crafted and made to last, so it can be cherished and passed down hopefully for generations.” – Patrik Bukovszky
For his Redress Design Award collection ‘SOLAR HARVEST’, Patrik was inspired by his Hungarian heritage to design womenswear looks dedicated to stages of the crop cultivation process: sowing, watering, and harvesting. He sources waste textiles including cotton denim from failed prototypes, deadstock apple leather gloves, and cacti leather end-of-rolls. Patrik’s folklore-inspired designs include a patchwork square scarf made from textile waste and a modular pair of overalls that can be separated into a top and trousers, offering versatility.
As part of the Rising Talents programme, Patrik was mentored by Chris Jordan, Design Director, TAL Group; and Redress alum Grace Lant, Senior Business Development Manager, London College of Fashion.
