After having earned a celebrity fan base, the Nanushka fashion label has now also got Ewan McGregor hooked with its bedazzled creations. The Golden Globe and Primetime Emmy-winning Scottish actor has been recently spotted sporting a piece from the famous Hungarian clothing brand at the Obi-Wan Kenobi launch event in London.
What is Nanushka?
Nanushka is a Budapest-based women’s and menswear brand that was founded in 2006 by Szandra Sándor who also designs accessories. She presented her first collection to the Hungarian public in 2006 which instantly got her the Young Fashion Designer of the Year award.
Nanushka has grown into a world-renowned luxury clothing brand, the only Central and Eastern European fashion label with a store overseas, in New York City. Their creations are currently distributed in 40 countries.
Beginnings and numbers
Szandra Sándor studied fashion in England, at the London College of Fashion which is considered one of the top three educational establishments for such courses in the world. Unlike most young people, she decided not to join a big company as an intern, instead, she returned home and created her own brand – thus, Nanushka was born, as bet.hu writes.
Today, 97% of the company’s revenue comes from abroad, including 35% from the United States. As we can read in the article of bet.hu, 70% of production takes place in Hungary, and the company operates with about 140 employees.
Nanushka has seen a twenty-fold increase in revenue within just three years.
Nanushka launches 45,000 new creations each season. Their clothing materials are chosen for their low-impact credentials, while the craftsmanship and handmade techniques are defined by a unique blend of traditional and contemporary culture.
Hollywood stars in Nanushka
Nanushka has been worn by many well-known stars: Margot Robbie, Emily Blunt, Kendall Jenner, Billie Eilish, Kate Hudson, Jennifer Lawrence and Alicia Keys. Now, Ewan McGregor, the Scottish actor has given the brand a try – and he absolutely rocks the style.
The actor appeared at the Obi-Wan Kenobi UK launch event in a Nanushka piece, as Bors reports. With Ewan McGregor set to reprise his role as Obi-Wan Kenobi after more than 15 years in the series named after the character, all eyes were on him and his Nanushka long-sleeve t-shirt.
