context_page_description: Alter és Kiss was a leading fashion house in Central Europe which began in 1829 in Budapest, Hungary, producing tailor-made clothing for high society, including the Habsburg royal family.
  As reported by the Magyar Bazár in 1866:
  “The whole country is familiar with their reputation. There is no doubt every woman... is familiar with the shop’s best characteristics... Generations before, women used to buy their endowment garments at the Alter és Kiss shop, and now, so do their grandchildren.”
  According to Magyar Bazár, the first shop for Alter és Kiss was founded by Antal Alter in 1829. The shop was located on 10, Váci utca, one of Budapest’s most famous shopping streets.
  The brand was revived in 2009 by Central Saint Martins graduates Gabor Fabricius and Mei Mei Ding, with the support of the Alter family.
