Eye-popping and inventive creations have helped distinguish this enigmatic designer.
- Upcycling and high kicking: Black and yellow jumpsuit created by Szimonetta
Szimonetta's black and yellow jumpsuit was a show-stealer at the FashionSistas set during London Fashion Week - so we had to find out more about it!
She told A Creation: "This jumpsuit is a really interesting piece of my collection because you can change its style according to your taste. You can wear it on several ways, twist it and play with it to create a totally new look".
The model did exactly that on the runway - twisting its straps and showing off its versatility as she floored the catwalk with the design.
Szimonetta, whose brand Poen de Szimiy, means "Joke of Simi", also spoke about the upcycling aspect of the suit: "The bra is made from crisps packaging which was a main "fabric" in one of my previous collections. The idea came to me because my boyfriend ate a lot of crisps when our class was preparing for an eco-friendly fashion show".
"I would like to use my knowledge to help in humanity and show that fashion is not just for external gratification but it is an important thing which can make the whole world better".- Szimonetta Szabó
This wonderful designer takes her love of fashion seriously with the duty of environmental care. She likes to recycle fabrics and adds: "Today in this crazy rushing world sometimes we forget what it is to be happy. We are so wrapped-up in the external side of fashion so it's my desire to bring something special into people’s lives to break the monotony. I want to help people to rediscover what a miracle it is to be young and happy without barriers and show the world who we are inside".
Szimonetta began working with FashionSistas after meeting the CEO, Rose Perkins, at a Superstar Club fashion industry networking event in February. "I was wearing one of my own creations which Rose loved. She ordered it for her boutique and we have worked together since". The jumpsuit Rose picked for the Angels of Fashion was modified to fit the theme of "Back to Black", focusing on black and gold.

At the same time, Szimonetta has been busy desigining and showcasing her second collection. Her first line, Love, which she developed for her graduation in her native Hungary, debuted in Riga, Latvia and her clothes have since brought her to London and Las Vegas.
Her vibrant, colourful and bohemian pieces include crazy ideas. She likes to incorporate art motifs and handmade work into the garments, which we are delighted to say are still extremely wearable!
Szimonetta is currently bursting at the seam to start her AW14-15 collection. She tells us she has a few upcoming engagements to complete first which include fashion shows, photo-shoots and unsurprisingly - award shows: "On October 26 I will have another fashion show in London, I am one of the finalists of 'Fashion designers and craft makers' as a Radical designer at the FDC Young Designer Awards . I will show an Avant-garde collection with hand-painted pieces".

We look forward to see what good fortune the future will bring for Szimonetta and we're even more excited to find out what she will deliver to the world!
"In designing my collections I always try to keep in my mind one serious question: What do people need the most in their weekdays? I want people to feel their unique selves and feel special while they are wearing my dresses and complete it with their smile. :)"- Szimonetta SzabóYou can keep up with Szimonetta here and we'll leave you with some pictures which show-off her creative jumpsuits. The pink flower figured and grey one is the original one she designed and the photos show just how versatile it is.
