What Dora Abodi is known for
Fashion house founded in 2009 by Transylvanian-born, Budapest-raised designer Dora Abodi, known for baroque-futurist eveningwear drawing on Hungarian and Romanian folklore; boutique on Nyary Pal utca, Budapest.
Dora Abodi was born in Transylvania and raised in Budapest in a creative family, and began sketching designs in her grandfather's studio as a child. She trained at the French Mod' International Art and Fashion Academy and completed a Master's in Fashion Design at Domus Academy in Milan in 2013. She launched her label in 2009, describing her style as a fusion of ancient and futuristic elements - a look termed baroque futurism - drawing on her mixed Hungarian, Romanian, German, Dutch and Armenian heritage. Abodi's designs have been worn by figures including Cate Blanchett, Lady Gaga, Emma Thompson, Taylor Swift and Rita Ora, and the label has been featured in multiple international editions of Vogue.
