The Art Institute of the Budapest School of Communication debuted on the one week long event with activities connected to arts and crafts. Programs like fashion shows, light painting, presentation, round table discussions, debates, lectures, mini art fairs, auctions, workshops and finissage attracted the visitors.

Ajándék Terminál was one of the Christmas events organized by Design Terminal, where Hungarian designers showcased their work.  Between 9 and 18 of December products from 50 talented designers could be bought. During that period the Terminal  recalled the flair of the shopping centers of the 20s as on the ground floor the best Hungarian design articles could be seen. On the first floor clothes and accessories of famous Hungarian designers gave this design fair a special atmosphere. This event series finished with an auction. The income from the auction were provided to children in need with design gift items and drawing tools.

The festival served as an independent platform for regional and international video artists, fashion designers, fashion photographers, stylists and other fashion professionals and film makers.

The Hungarian Design Council under the auspices of the National Intellectual Property Office with the support of Hungarian Design Council and Design Terminal jointly organized the 8th Design Week Festival which was organized this year in Budapest. The popular series of programs took place between 30th of September and 9th of October throughout the city.

The design theme of this year was Couleur Locale, which means local colors and scales. This expression is originally associated to terminology of French Romantic art, used as slogan for the festival to show the unique feature of visual culture. Local nuances and colors were shown that are unique in Central Europe due our regional conditions. Throw the unique visual and material culture and the international dialogue we can define our own culture. The Budapest Design Week Festival helps with the international dialogue. While it gathers and presents the design values of home, place them in an international context as well and puts Hungary finally on the worlds design map.

The Administration and Ministry of Justice, Design Terminal and Moholy-Nagy University of Art maintained jointly the competition of more than 400 received plans of which 35 best collections were shown in form of a fashion show on the 8th May 2011 in the Museum of Fine Arts.

The aim of the Gombold Újra! Hungarian Style competition was to process the traditional Hungarian

clothing with modern approach to historical values. The advertised categories were: wearable clothes, show clothes, accessories which gave an opportunity for the designers for free expression, while encouraged by the re-interpretation of the tradition. Adapted to the topic we could find diversity and creativity of submissions, which raised today’s motives by changing the form and dimensions with quite extreme visions.

The first exhibition at the Design Terminal showed a selection of the clothing competition. In the exhibition exposed clothes queued from wearable clothes to extravagant ones, presenting many opportunities inherent in the subject.

The competition, fashion show and the exhibition were an innovative initiative, which aim was to freshen up and create an unique 21century Hungarian fashion.
