VESZPRĂMI GABRIELLA â textiltervezĆ/textile designer
A reggeleket mindig egy tejeskĂĄvĂ©val indĂtja, anĂ©lkĂŒl nem lehet hozzĂĄszĂłlni. A nyĂĄr a kedvence, ugyanis nagyon nem szeret fĂĄzni. HĂĄrom testvĂ©re Ă©s rengeteg ĆrĂŒlt jĂł gyerekkori emlĂ©ke van. A tervezĂ©s elsĆ fĂĄzisĂĄnak csöndje utĂĄn a kedvenc zenĂ©ire kezdi el a kĂsĂ©rletezĆs mƱhelymunkĂĄt. Az alkotĂĄsain keresztĂŒl azt szeretnĂ© kifejezĂ©sre juttatni: âmindenki merjen önmaga lenni!â
She always kicks off her mornings with a latte, otherwise no one can talk to her. Summer is her favorite season, as she really doesnât like to be cold. She has three siblings and plenty of awesome childhood memories. After the silence of the first phase of design, she starts the experimenting work with her favorite tunes in the background. What she would like to express through her creations is that âeverybody should dare to be themselves!â

Milyen tĂpusĂș emlĂ©kek inspirĂĄlnak jobban: a jĂłk vagy a rosszak?/What type of memories inspire you the more: the good or the bad?
Mind a kettĆ, egyik sincs a mĂĄsik nĂ©lkĂŒl. Az inspirĂĄciĂł is pont ilyen, mindig kicsit mĂĄs energiĂĄkra van szĂŒksĂ©ge.
Both, neither exists without the other. Inspiration is the same: it always needs somewhat different energies.
Hogyan lendĂŒlsz tĂșl az idĆszakos alkotĂłi vĂĄlsĂĄgon?/How do you overcome a temporary creative crisis?
Mivel alkalmazott mƱvĂ©szkĂ©nt dolgozom, muszĂĄj tĂșllendĂŒlnöm az olyan idĆszakokon, amikor esetleg nehezebben megy a munka. Ilyenkor igyekszem kicsit ĂĄtcsoportosĂtani a feladatokat. A mĂĄrka Ă©letĂ©ben nagyon sokfĂ©le feladatot kell ellĂĄtnom Ă©s kĂ©zben tartanom, Ă©ppen ezĂ©rt, ha valamelyik rĂ©sze akĂĄr a kreatĂv, akĂĄr az adminisztratĂv kicsit nehezebben megy, mĂĄsra helyezem ĂĄt a hangsĂșlyt. Ăgy amikor odajutok, Ășjult erĆvel tudok nekilĂĄtni. Ha konkrĂ©tan a tervezĂ©si rĂ©sznĂ©l akadok el, akkor prĂłbĂĄlom teljesen Ășj szemszögbĆl vizsgĂĄlni az adott problĂ©mĂĄt. Ez igazĂĄbĂłl mindig Ă©rdekes rĂ©sze a tervezĂ©snek Ă©s szĂŒksĂ©gszerƱ is , Ășgyhogy ehhez mĂĄr hozzĂĄszoktam.
As I work as an applied artist, I must overcome the periods where working is more difficult. In these cases, I try to regroup the tasks a bit. I have to fulfil and manage diverse tasks in the life of the brand, and so if any parts, either the creative part or administration doesnât go so well, I shift my focus to something else. This way, when I get to the hard part, I can start it off again with new momentum. If I get stuck specifically at the design process, I try to examine the given problem from a completely different angle. This is always a very interesting part of the design process and it is also necessary, so Iâve got used to it.
Kinek mutatod meg elĆször a legĂșjabb alkotĂĄsodat?/To whom do you show your latest pieces first?
A barĂĄtaimnak Ă©s a csalĂĄdomnak. EgyrĂ©szt azĂ©rt, mert ez egy biztonsĂĄgos terep, mĂĄsrĂ©szt pedig, mert nagyon kĂŒlönbözĆek, Ăgy sok Ășj szempont felmerĂŒlhet. Minden kollekciĂłnĂĄl, mĂ©g a tervezĂ©si-kĂsĂ©rletezĂ©si fĂĄzisban igyekszem megmutatni nekik, hogy az ĂĄltaluk mondott esetleges kritikĂĄt mĂ©g be tudjam Ă©pĂteni a vĂ©gleges darabokba. Persze vannak olyan dolgok is, amikbĆl nem engedek (mosolyog).
To my friends and family. On the one hand, because itâs a safe zone, and on the other hand, because they are very different, and so many new aspects can emerge. I try to show them the pieces of every collection in the design-experiment phase so that I can incorporate any potential feedback received from them into the final pieces. Of course there are some things where I am holding my ground (smiles).

Mi a legkedvesebb gyerekkori emléked?/What is your favorite childhood memory?
Rengeteg van, Ă©s ĂĄltalĂĄban a testvĂ©reimhez Ă©s a csalĂĄdomhoz kötĆdnek. Mivel hĂĄrom testvĂ©rem van, elĂ©g sok ĆrĂŒltsĂ©get csinĂĄltunk egyĂŒtt, de nem tudnĂ©k csak egyet kiemelni. Otthon idĆrĆl idĆre eszĂŒnkbe jut egy-egy emlĂ©k, amiken mindig jĂłkat nevetĂŒnk.
I have many, and the majority of them is related to my siblings and my family. As I have three siblings, we have done quite some crazy things together, but I couldnât highlight only one out of them. When I am at home, memories come up every now and then and we always have a good laugh about it.
Mit Ă©rzel, amikor egy mĂĄsik mƱvĂ©sz a tiĂ©dhez hasonlĂł munkĂĄt kĂ©szĂt?/What do you feel when another artist creates a work similar to yours?
SzĂĄmomra az a legfontosabb, hogy olyan kollekciĂłkat Ă©s tĂĄrgyakat kĂ©szĂtsek, amelyeket mindenki egyĂ©rtelmƱen hozzĂĄm tud kötni â mĂĄrkajelzĂ©s nĂ©lkĂŒl is tudjĂĄk, azt a tĂĄskĂĄt vagy cipĆt Ă©n csinĂĄltam. Mindig Ă©rtetlenĂŒl ĂĄllok az olyan helyzetek elĆtt, ahol azt tapasztalom, valaki nem akar egyedit Ă©s Ășjat alkotni.
The most important thing for me is to create collections and objects that can be associated with me by everyone â so that they know even without a brand name that that specific bag or shoes were made by me. I am always baffled by the situations where I experience that someone doesnât want to create something unique and new.
Mit szeretnĂ©l, hogy mirĆl emlĂ©kezzenek majd rĂĄd?/What would you like to be remembered by?
AttĂłl fĂŒgg, kire vagy kikre vonatkozik a kĂ©rdĂ©s, de nem tĂșl kellemes azon gondolkodni, hogy mi lesz, ha majd nem leszek. Jobban foglalkoztat, hogy mit tudok addig tenni, amĂg Ă©lek (mosolyog). A tervezĂ©ssel kapcsolatban prĂłbĂĄlok mindig magam lenni, Ă©s az engem foglalkoztatĂł dolgokra összpontosĂtani. Mindig hajt az alkotni vĂĄgyĂĄs Ă©s az Ășj dolgok kutatĂĄsa. AztĂĄn majd meglĂĄtjukâŠ
It depends on whom the question is about, but itâs not very pleasant to think about whatâs going to happen when Iâm no longer here. I rather think about what I can do while Iâm alive (smiles). In terms of design, I always try to be myself and concentrate on the things I care about. I am always driven by a desire to create and to search for new things. Then weâll seeâŠ

GyƱjtesz valamit?/Do you collect anything?
RĂ©gen rengeteg dolgot gyƱjtöttem, most mĂĄr igyekszem nem felhalmozni felesleges dolgokat, Ă©s csak olyan tĂĄrgyakkal körĂŒlvenni magam, amelyek jelentĆsĂ©ggel bĂrnak.
I used to collect a lot of things, now I rather try not to pile up unnecessary stuff and I try to surround myself with things that are significant.
Van olyan gyerekes szokĂĄsod, amit akkor csinĂĄlsz, amikor senki nem figyel?/Do you have any childish habits that you do when no one is watching?
Persze, hogy van és egyértelmƱ, hogy nem mondom el (nevet).
Of course I have, and I wonât tell you (laughs).
Van-e napi rutinod?/Do you have a daily routine?
A reggelem mindig egy tejeskĂĄvĂ©val indul, anĂ©lkĂŒl nem lehet hozzĂĄm szĂłlni. A nap tovĂĄbbi rĂ©szĂ©t, ha akarnĂĄm sem tudnĂĄm rutinszerƱen csinĂĄlni.
I always kick off my mornings with a latte, without that I am not very sociable. I couldnât do the remaining part of the day routinely even if I wanted to.
Hogyan fogsz neki egy Ășj munkĂĄnak?/How do you start a new project?
Ha egy Ășj kollekciĂłrĂłl van szĂł, akkor a legelsĆ lĂ©pĂ©s , hogy megprĂłbĂĄlom megfogalmazni, milyen hangulatot, milyen lĂĄtvĂĄnyt szeretnĂ©k ĂĄltala kifejezni. TehĂĄt valĂłjĂĄban körbejĂĄrom az Ă©ppen engem foglalkoztatĂł dolgokat. EbbĆl inspirĂĄlĂłdva formĂĄkat, anyagokat, technolĂłgiĂĄkat gyƱjtök, Ă©s csak utĂĄna kezdĆdik a tĂ©nyleges tervezĂ©s.
If it is about a new collection, the first step is to try to formulate the mood and visuality I would like to express with it. So I canvass the things that are currently on my mind. By getting inspired from these, I collect materials and technologies and the actual design process only starts afterwards.

Van egy jĂłl körĂŒlhatĂĄrolhatĂł hangulat, amikor könnyebb szĂĄmodra az alkotĂĄs?/Is there a specific mood that makes creation easier for you?
A tervezĂ©s elsĆ fĂĄzisĂĄhoz tökĂ©letes nyugalomra van szĂŒksĂ©gem, egyedĂŒl, csendben, ĂĄltalĂĄban ez mĂ©g otthon törtĂ©nik. Ha megtalĂĄltam a vezĂ©rfonalat, mĂĄr megyek is be a mƱhelyembe, bekapcsolom a gĂ©peket, a kedvenc zenĂ©imet Ă©s elkezdem a kĂsĂ©rletezgetĂ©st.
I need perfect calmness for the first phase of the design process, alone, in silence - usually this takes place at home. If I have found my clue, I immediately go to my workshop, I turn on the machines, put on my favorite music and I start experimenting.
Sör vagy bor?/Beer or wine?
Nem tudnĂ©k vĂĄlasztani, idĆszakaim vannak. Most Ă©ppen boros vagyok, fehĂ©r vagy vörös.
I couldnât decide, I have periods. I am a wine-fan currently, red or white.
Mit szeretnĂ©l kifejezni az alkotĂĄsaidon keresztĂŒl?/What would you like to express through your pieces?
Hogy mindenki merjen önmaga lenni. SzĂ©psĂ©gideĂĄloktĂłl Ă©s divatirĂĄnyzatoktĂłl fĂŒggetlenĂŒl a lĂ©nyeg igazĂĄbĂłl csak annyi, hogy jĂłl Ă©rezzĂŒk magunkat a bĆrĂŒnkben. Ami nekem is nehezen megy, de egyre jobban Ă©s imĂĄdom, hogy bĂĄrmit, amit szeretnĂ©k felvenni, azt meg tudom magamnak csinĂĄlni. SzeretnĂ©m, ezt mĂĄsoknak is ĂĄtadni.
That everybody should dare to be themselves. Regardless of beauty ideals and fashion trends, the essence is to feel good in our skin. This is also problematic for me, but I am getting better in it and I adore that I can make everything I would like to wear. I would like to pass this on to others, too.

Mi az, ami a leginkåbb feltölt?/What can recharge you the most?
Ha a szĂĄmomra fontos emberekkel tölthetem az idĆmet.
If I can spend my time with the people that are the most important to me.
Kedvenc évszak?/Favorite season?
A nyår, imådom a meleget, nagyon nem szeretek fåzni. Nyåron pedig nehéz fåzni (mosolyog).
Summer, I like hot weather, I really donât like to be cold. And it is hard to be cold during summer (smiles).
Ha egyetlen tanĂĄcsot kellene adni mĂĄs, esetleg mĂ©g kezdĆ tehetsĂ©geknek, mi lenne az?/If you had to give a single piece of advice to other, possibly beginner talents, what would that be?
ValĂłszĂnƱ egy csomĂł közhelyet mondanĂ©k, ami amĂșgy mind igaz :) SzĂłval, csak akkor kezdjenek bele sajĂĄt mĂĄrkĂĄba, tervezĂ©sbe, ha komolyan gondoljĂĄk, Ă©s szeretnek nagyon sokat dolgozni!
Probably I would say many banalities, which are all true, by the way :) So I think they should only get started with their own brand and design if they are serious about it, and if they like to work a lot!

â2017-ben diplomĂĄztam textiltervezĆkĂ©nt a Moholy-Nagy MuÌvĂ©szeti Egyetemen, de mĂĄr az egyetemi Ă©vek alatt lehetoÌsĂ©gem nyĂlt több magyar mĂĄrkĂĄnak is tervezni. KĂ©soÌbb ezekboÌl a tapasztalatokbĂłl Ă©pĂtkezve indĂtottam el sajĂĄt mĂĄrkĂĄmat, melynek alapjĂĄt a LAYERS nĂ©vre keresztelt diplomakollekciĂłm adta. A mestermunkĂĄm alapötletĂ©t a boÌrtĂĄrgyak kivitelezĂ©se sorĂĄn visszaĂĄradĂł, Ă©rtĂ©kes boÌrdarabok ĂșjrahasznosĂtĂĄsĂĄnak szĂĄndĂ©ka inspirĂĄlta. FelhasznĂĄlĂĄsuk sorĂĄn egy kifejezetten ĂșjszeruÌ, rĂ©tegelĂ©si technolĂłgiĂĄt vĂĄlasztottam, mely vĂĄlaszt ad a szabĂĄszati hulladĂ©k felhalmozĂĄsĂĄnak problĂ©mĂĄjĂĄra. A mĂĄrka azĂłta bemutatott kollekciĂłi a lehetsĂ©ges irĂĄnyokat, utakat, felhasznĂĄlĂĄsi terĂŒleteket hivatottak bemutatni. Ăppen ezĂ©rt a tĂĄskĂĄk Ă©s cipoÌk mellett  az Ă©kszerek is feltuÌntek a mĂĄrka kĂnĂĄlatĂĄban (âLAYERS of impressionsâ kollekciĂł Fekete Fruzsival).
A GabriellaVeszpremi mĂĄrka a fenntarthatĂłsĂĄg szem eloÌtt tartĂĄsĂĄval kĂ©szĂt kiegĂ©szĂtoÌket, amelyek formai stĂlust tudnak teremteni, megĂșjĂtva ezzel az ĂșjrahasznosĂtott, eko termĂ©kekroÌl alkotott fogyasztĂłi prekoncepciĂłt. Az ĂĄltalunk alkalmazott technolĂłgia miatt minden darabunk egyedi Ă©s megismĂ©telhetetlen, Ă©ppen ezĂ©rt olyan noÌknek tervezĂŒnk, akik nem fĂ©lnek kituÌnni a tömegboÌl, Ă©s a sajĂĄt ĂzlĂ©sĂŒkre tudjĂĄk formĂĄlni az ĂĄltalunk megĂĄlmodott tĂĄrgyakat.â
âI graduated from the Department of Textile Design of Moholy-Nagy University of Art and Design in 2017, but I had the chance to design for several Hungarian brands already during my university years. Later on I started off my own brand by building on these experiences, the basis of which was provided by my diploma collection titled LAYERS. The original idea of my diploma project was inspired by the intention to recycle the valuable pieces of leather that remain after the manufacturing of leather items. I chose an expressly novel layering technology for manufacturing, which offers a solution to the problem of piling up tailoring waste. The collections of the brand presented since all intended to display the possible directions, paths and areas of use. For this reason, in addition to the bags and shoes, the selection of the brand has been expanded with a jewelry line, too (âLAYERS of impressionsâ collection with Fruzsi Fekete).
The GabriellaVeszpremi brand creates accessories by keeping sustainability in mind that can create a formal style, this way renewing the consumer preconceptions about recycled and eco products. Owing to our technology, each and every piece we make is unique and unrepeatable. Therefore, we design for women who are not afraid to stand out from the crowd and who can shape the objects imagined by us to their own taste.â
