The young fashion label Piroska_Project stands for high quality and refined designed blouses and tunic dresses, which was inspired among other things by the Hungarian folklore fashion. The project was born out of founder Katalin Kiss' desire to reinterpret the folklore fashion of her native Hungary. Die leichten Blusen und Tunika-Kleider werden von familiengeführten Manufakturen im Karpatenbecken, teilweise in Handarbeit fair und exklusiv für Piroska_Project produziert. Darüber hinaus möchte Gründerin Katalin Kiss mit Piroska_Project ihren Anteil zur Erhaltung der Handwerkskunst in Europa leisten.

The blouses "Piroska" and "Luca" as well as the tunic dress "Rozsi" are cut casually and playfully and have optional waist gathers. The wide balloon sleeves, as well as the cord and pom-pom details add a fashionable twist, while the elegant crinkle look of the fine and slightly transparent cotton fabric makes for an exceptional wearing experience. Our models are designed to give women in everyday life the feeling of being perfectly dressed at all times - for a hip city or relaxed beach look.

All garments from Piroska_Project are 100 percent Made in Europe and 100 percent created from passion and attention to detail.

Behind the brand is the international fashion stylist Katalin Kiss, who has been working in the fashion industry for over 20 years and as a native Hungarian has a close relationship with Hungarian folklore fashion. 

Fashion is culture and gives identity - the founder has always been convinced of this. Growing up in what was then socialist Hungary, she felt how important individuality is - and how well fashion is suited to transporting one's own personality to the outside world. Even then, she used her flair for design and aesthetics to combine vintage fashion she found at flea markets with self-sewn garments from Western pattern books. Today she is still a big fan of second hand fashion and loves to discover special pieces, combine them and make an outfit special with them. At the age of 20, Katalin Kiss moved from Budapest to Hamburg, graduated as a garment technology engineer and worked as a freelance stylist for several years. In 2003 she moved to Mexico City. There she noticed some parallels in folklore fashion to her home country. Her biggest source of inspiration: Frida Kahlo. During this time, she worked as a freelance fashion editor for Elle Mexico and Celeste magazine, and later as Fashion Editor at Large for Instyle Mexico.

Till today, she works as a freelance fashion editor and stylist for print and TV, as well as a creative consultant for various companies.
