The Importance of Free Fashion Press

In the age when physically attending fashion shows is almost irrelevant, with brilliant iPad applications such as style.com and others, I feel like reconsidering our work habits and lifestyles is in due.

In the past few weeks, SHOWStudio by Nick Knight were doing just the same, and took it to the next level. Instead of actually running between the shows, hitting traffic again and again and being almost late for a 10 minutes show at a time, they decided to do something different, and to my opinion – a whole lot better.

They’ve sat down together, at the comfort of a long semi-dining table, and watched the shows online in realtime, together. They have discussed the collections as they watched it, and filmed it on video for the SHOWStudio website.

Again, I think it’s awesome. Here is an example for you: For the Louis Vuitton SS13 show, they’ve sat down with Nick Knight, Daphne Guinness, fashion author Camilla Morton and others. For a little more than an hour, they discussed the show in particular and fashion, uncut and unedited.

Business Of Fashion thoroughly discussed this amazing development in the way we consume fashion two days ago, read more about it here.

Can you feel the magic? New times are coming. Right now!

There is only one designer in Israel who is really close to designing couture. That is Mira Zwillinger. I attended her fashion show, which took place at her beautiful house. Check out her new collection here, I tried to take shots of all of it.

Shenkar Fashion Department Graduation 2011

Yesterday was the annual fashion show of the Shenkar graduates. It is always a very exciting and emotional event, for everyone who attend it, I think. The excitement of the students who get to present their designs is simply out there, filling the air with it.

I love young designers.Very much. It’s always so great to see their work coming from the purest sides of design, creativeness and art. They still haven’t faced the demand to also make it commercial, if they wish to survive as designers. That stage of pureness is short and beautiful, and I enjoy the beauty of it as a journalist, as long as it lasts :-)

25 out of 50 graduates presented their work last night. I chose to bring the works of all 50 of them here, as I can only imagine how hard it was to study and work there for the last 4 years, and I think they all deserve to be presented, even if it’s only here, on my blog :-) Here they are:

 

The winner of this year’s internship with Diane von Fuerstenberg is the only student I posted 2 pics of his work – Marc Goldberg. His work is simply incredible! You can see the names of the students by pointing on the pic with your mouse :) I loved Gal Shenfeld, Israel Ohayon and Marc’s work more than everyone else, though I have to admit it that they all did a wonderful job and the work of everyone is fascinating, innovating and gorgeous!

Fashion journalists presentation at Banker boutique

Hi!

I haven’t been around lately, I know, and I’m so sorry! I swear it’s all for good reasons though – I come wearing good news only.
After a long time of debating with myself, I’ve decided to do more of what I love best :-) You’re now reading the blog of the new accessories (shoes, bags, jewelry, sunglasses, scarves… you got it by now) journalist of Haaretz! So, besides my regular fashion news column, red carpet events coverage and fashion sales columns, I’m going to write a whole lot more :-)

These wonderful news made me very happy, and I started visiting shops and designers, guided by their PR people, and been trying to get the hang of what’s going on in the fashion world, in all these fun accessories and other things I have never reviewed before.

 

 

I started with Banker (unfortunately their site has been “under construction” for years now), and I loved the interior design of the 2 stories boutique and, on top of all, the shoes and jewelry they import. Here are some of the pics I took there:

A Stylist and A designer met and a new collaboration is born!

My friend Shachar Rabanne, a well-known stylist here in Tel Aviv, recently told me that he’s working on a new line, collaborating with fashion designer Hagit Fink. He told me this as we were walking into Yossi Katzav’s collection presentation on a very sunny Sunday morning, and he told me that he actually has the first bag they designed together in his bag now. I don’t really need to hear more than these hot keywords: collaboration, handbags. That is really all it takes to get my curiosity on fire. When I asked to see the bag, I just knew it – I love it!

I asked Shachar to be the first to show it online, and got it, gladly. Here it is:

Shachar Rabanne and Hagit Fink's first bag

I like this style a lot. It’s made of real leather, it’s big enough, it’s vintage inspired and it’s just beautiful :) This is definitely a collaboration I’ll be following closely. Good luck Shachar and Hagit!

Alon Livne Spring/Summer 2011 Collection – pics and videos

Alon Livne, one of Israel’s young emerging designers, held his Spring/Summer 2011 collection press presentation last Thursday. It took place in a renovated loft/studio downtown Tel-Aviv, where he presented a video art presentation and a semi-fashion show/presentation. Timing was almost perfect for this one, as it reminded me a lot of  Thierry Mugler‘s fashion show, which took place the day before. I have to admit it – something good is happening to Israeli fashion, and maybe, just maybe, we will exist one day on the world fashion map as well.

You can see the pictures I took (while filming! I got it this time :D ), the catalog pictures and videos I took at the event here below. Enjoy!
