The Hungarian ‘Gombold újra!’ project, which was first organized in 2011 is integrating a fashion competition, fashion show and exhibition series. The aim of the initiative is to give the opportunity to the most talented designers from the Central European region to showcase their work on a platform to which international buyers and managers of concept stores and showrooms are invited.

In closer learning about the Volvo V40 Cross Country we can characterize it immediately as muscular, rugged build and even more in extreme conditions as a beast. The unique cage is trying to strengthen this association which was made of reminiscent of a glass, silicone cord , it’s transparent wall is holding the "animal" but at same time giving it a majestic appearance. The car dressed in black fake fur attracts to stroke it and can be easily associated to the world of women's coats, but the effect is strongly masculine. Almost all vehicles carry a feral, animalistic notes. In our case, with amplifying these notes a bearish predator can come to our mind. Which is at once majestic, menacing yet lovable and protective as well.
