• Zsanett considers tailoring more personal and eco-conscious than other areas of fashion
• She sometimes mixes several schools of tailoring within one garment
• She is an avid textile collector and has a small fabric shop in her studio

Zsanett Hegedüs decided to become a fashion designer at a very young age. She dreamed of a big fashion house with beautiful ready-to-wear clothes, but after finishing as a textile designer and design manager at the prestigious Moholy-Nagy University of Art and Design Budapest, she realised that working on a bespoke basis was a better direction to take. Zsanett soon found that this field suited her much more, as it was more personal, satisfaction was more measurable and the practice was also more sustainable. Today she has no desire to design ready-to-wear garments anymore. Zsanett specialises in the artisanal lines of dressmaking, working primarily in menswear. She is one of the few professionals worldwide who know and combine several schools of tailoring within one same garment. She is self-taught and still has a thirst for knowledge. “I like to learn – I would still love to go to some Italian and British tailors for a practical lesson," she says.
