FASHION DESIGNER • ZERO WASTE FASHION DESIGN EDUCATOR
Zsuzsanna Bistei
A constraint is not an obstacle — it is a compass.
Depth of thought opens the field of possibilities.
PHILOSOPHY
Form speaks.
Material responds.
Design is a dialogue.
ABOUT
Design, for me, is not object‑making —
but a sensitive dialogue with body, form, and material,
where responsibility and creative freedom coexist.Creative intuition, technical knowledge,
design development,
and experimentation with unconventional materials
are mutually refining forces.A key element of my work is the communication
between 2D and 3D —
the continuous conversation
between flat construction and spatial form‑building.I developed my reflective, research‑driven approach
at the London College of Fashion, Womenswear —
a mindset I now teach in a personalised way
at AgoMedArt Studio.
Learning here is intellectual, technical, and hands‑on.
THE LAYERS OF DESIGN
01.
Pattern Cutting
Form is a starting point.
A line is a decision.
02.
SEWING TECHNOLOGY
Sewing is the soul of construction —
precision, discipline, rhythm.
03.
TEXTILE MANIPULATIONS
Textile is alive.
It bends, resists, stretches, transforms.
04.
zero waste design
Zero Waste is not technique —
it is attitude.
Every decision has consequences.
05.
2D–3D TRANSLATION
The flat plane is illusion.
Space is reality.
Construction begins where paper ends.
06.
Design Development
Concept‑building, iterations, prototypes,
the visual organisation of thought.
METHOD
A constraint inspires.
A line decides.
Form begins.

PORTFOLIO DEVELOPMENT
A portfolio is not presentation —
it is the imprint of your design thinking.I help you:
• find your visual and design voice
• gain confidence in technical and digital processes
• approach design problems with clarity
• build a strong, coherent, professional portfolio
for applications, competitions, or career goalsThe process includes documenting design development,
visualising 2D–3D transitions,
and organising experimental material explorations.
WORKSHOP
UPCYCLED GARMENT TRANSFORMATION
Your garment receives a new story.
The old form dissolves, reborn through sustainable logic.
Participants learn professional upcycling methods, deconstruction, re‑drafting, zero‑waste joins, high‑quality finishes, and transform a complete garment by hand.
The process is technical and intuitive — a creative reinterpretation of existing structures.
WORKSHOP — STRUCTURE
Each session is a 3‑hour creative space to experience zero‑waste thinking in practice.
Small groups ensure personalised attention.
WORKSHOP — PRICING
18 000 Ft / session / person
3‑session programme (9 hours total)
Group size: max. 5 participants
Session length: 3 hours
Focus: deconstruction → re‑drafting → finishing
