Experienced fashion designer duo familiar with the complete garment/product creation life cycle, from initial concept to retail/wholesale, with over 13 years in the fashion industry.
Andras and Attila first met during their university years at MOME. After many successful student collaborations together, they created a joint portfolio for their final exam, and have been working together ever since. Their skills complement each other perfectly – from concept, research, detailed planning to production and presentation, they make a great team of two.
Thanks to this collaboration and friendship, they've been able to build USE Unused, a widely known international brand, which is the only Hungarian brand listed by Vogue.com. This journey has led them to learn more and more about various segments of the fashion world in terms of men's and women's wear, and RTW and MTM as well.
Apart from their own designs, they've worked with numerous international businesses such as Warner Bros., Procter & Gamble, Starbucks and Coca-Cola. Their collaboration with Coca-Cola has been Coca-Cola’s most successful project in the Eastern European region, creating more than 30% profit gain for the beverage company. Andras and Attila have worked on over 100 commercials with top international clients including Playstation, Greygoose, Unilever and Vodafone.
They have designed outfits for renowned hotels, private clinics and restaurants.
What they are probably (and rightfully) the most proud of, is their design and execution of the Hungarian teams' outfits for the 2016 Olympic Games, which has been listed among the best Olympic apparel by international media, too (People Magazine, USA Today, Fox Sports).
Many reputable stars have worn their creations: Tilda Swinton, Chiara Ferragni, Ashley Tisdale, Eniko Mihalik, Barbara Palvin and Vanessa Axente have all been dressed by USE Unused.
