Since the last time I talked about Budapest-based designer Kata Szegedi, she's certainly taken some leaps getting herself a spanking new website as well as moving on from her scuba-inspired grad collection to become a fully-fledged young designer in Hungary. Her latest S/S 10 collection 'Daniel's Road' is again, chock full of pieces that wave the flag for unabashed intricacy and complexity. Inspired by the connections and roads between Kata and her best friend Daniel Benus, who also happened to create the stonkingly structural shoes for the collection, Kata played with transparencies and cut-outs to create statement jackets and trousers that weave through spaghetti junctions of fabric with ease.
It's sort of irrelevant what exactly are the patterns and fabrics that Kata started off with given that once she has plied and played with it, layering and interlocking sections as well as showing skin in all the right places, the ultimate effect is that of precise and clean cut patchwork where you don't need to be discerning of the prints…
I love how Daniel's shoes carry on these 'roads' by mimicking the texture of the jacket and the trousers so that there is this smooth continuity…
Simpler 'roads' are created with these black pieces…
As Zana of Garbage Dress points out, this is no straight-forward Ikat print… and instead certain areas have been picked out for what I believe is velvet flocking as well as cut-outs and sheer muslin panels… quite possibly these are the dream trousers that I personally could never have imagined myself and instead Szegadi delved into my Ikat pattern-obsessed part of the brain to conjure up these babies. Actually, that's selfish… I'm sure these are the dream trousers of a fair number of you out there…
i saw these pics earlier today and was blown away. clever stuff, and completely wearable! loves! wants!
These prints are amazing, as are those shoes…

Really incredible. I love the theme and intricacy and the shoes are wondrous. They kind of remind me of Alexander McQueen’s armadillo shoes. <3

the detail is amazing!! the cut out skinny pants and the jacket are my favourites!
Glad to see that someone is doing pants – interesting pants, I mean. I have such a hard time finding any at all.

Stunning! Beautifully shot too.
Those last trousers are beautiful. I love the mixtures of texture, purely on that one piece of fabric. The print is gorgeous.
And those shoes! I love the chunky platform and curved heel. They actually look reasonably comfortable.

Wowza, the photoshoot too reflects on the structural roads inspiration, that back-arching pose hits the spot..
A Funkdafied collection, really mirages the Roads and the prints are sublime, textures on the shoes absolutely tasty looking.
The construction is amazing. The last pair of pants…..yep, definitely dream worthy.
