TOMCSANYI SPRING / SUMMER 2026

For the Spring/Summer 2026 collection, TOMCSANYI draws inspiration from a unique piece of Hungarian cultural heritage: the Hungarian playing cards, or Magyar kártya. This 32-card deck – much more than a simple game – tells a story of society, history, and identity through four symbolic suits: hearts representing the clergy, leaves (or “green”) the citizens, acorns the peasantry, and bells (or “pumpkin”) the aristocracy.

Rather than depicting the actual characters or scenes from the cards, the collection explores their abstract visual layers, breaking them down and reassembling them through the technique of paper collage. Familiar motifs – hearts, leaves, acorns, bells – transform into abstract patterns, while the seasons – spring, summer, autumn, winter – emerge as stylized landscapes, evoking cut-out paper compositions rendered in large, vibrant, and expressive surfaces.

Everything is deconstructed and recomposed – the result is playful yet intellectual. Instead of reconstructing tradition, the collection reinterprets it through TOMCSANYI’s distinctly contemporary lens.

The silhouettes combine simplicity with character: clean lines, generous volumes, and puzzle-like abstract prints come together in a visual language where the past is not a monument, but a remixed world of form and colour.
