Why Kék Ló?

Why Kék Ló?

These are Virag Toth's words about the usually asked question: why Kék Ló?

When I was little, I painted a lot and wanted to be an artist when grown up. I painted a lot of horses and some of them were blue. Kék ló means blue horse in Hungarian, and blue horses had a significant role in my dream life too. So I decided to name my first concept store and my label Kék Ló.

I was born in Budapest in 1977 and since very little, I was obsessed with sewing. My first inspirations were the clothes of my grandma, who travelled around the world and brought amazing dresses from Syria, China, Cuba, Russia, and beyond. She had a hundred-year-old sewing machine and taught me to handle it when I was ten. Since then my first and only passion was sewing my own clothes. When I was twelve, we moved to Spain and spent years in Alcalá de Henares, a medieval university town that profoundly shaped my artistic vision. As an adult, I opened various concept stores in Budapest and Berlin, consciously building my creations around vintage fabrics as a foundation. Today I live in Casares, a rural village in Málaga province, where the breathtaking landscape and the warmth of the local community inspire my work every day.
