One of the things that make make me love fashion so much is, that justice can be done in this industry sometimes, and it never seizes to surprise me.
Justice is when Tilda Swinton is tapped as the new face of Chanel. Yes.

It is very easy to compare my side of the world (Tel-Aviv, Israel) to the side where fashion is done right, or anywhere considered a fashion capital out there.
I know that there is so much money involved and invested in every little detail, but when I saw a very short video taken at the recent Marc Jacobs show in New york, the only thought that came through my mind was – you can’t buy the feeling of magic created on the runway. It has so many different aspects that create it – the expectations, the character of the brand, its glory and fame, and of course – the beautiful clothes modeled by beautiful models.
Here are some of my favorite looks from that show, following with a 1.5 minutes video that explains the magic quite well:

It was a beautiful celebration of some of the iconic silhuettes and textures from the 40s, with so many metallic elements. And on top of it all, I couldn’t take my eyes off of the shoes. They are all stunning, lots of Mary-Janes and very classic heels. I loved it.
Here is the video I saw, taken by Garance Dore:
I hope you felt the magic

And this blog is not about Chanel, Karl or anything like that, BUT
I’ve really been obsessing with the latest Chanel Couture ss13 fashion show. I have. I can’t stop messing with it. I wanted to know everything about it: the hair, the most amazing makeup, the models, the music, and of course the dresses. I won’t bore you with my way too thorough research (it’s not really boring. I’m saving it for my next column for the newspaper, that’s all) and I just want to show you the Enchanted Interlude video Chanel made for this show. Just because it shows the magic so clearly that you can’t avoid it:
I hope you felt and loved the magic just as much as I did!

So Karl Lagerfeld is working on a new “Mysterious and unusual” project, so he says. I feel like he is always up to something and it’s always fascinating. Here is a video where he introduces his new secret, without saying anything too revealing, of course. It looks like it has something to do with furniture. Hmmm. Here’s the Karl way of saying a lot and not saying much at the same time:

Looking at the Spring 2013 Dior Homme runway made me sense some very strict classic rules: It is mostly in light navy blue, a little bit of grey, black and tiny bits of red. It is very tailored, even the most casual pieces in it are super done and elegant. I loved it. AND I loved it 10x more when I saw the video Dior made for it, and not because of the clothes. It is very different, bold, and daring. Completely out of Dior Homme strict elegant rules yet very chic and emphasises the young rebellious Dior Homme man. Watch it here:

I had no idea that Gabrielle Chanel designed her only diamonds collection in 1932 and had no clue about her approach to diamonds. This just-launched video by Chanel will glue you to your screen, I promise you, even if you don’t really like diamonds (I don’t and still…):

Hands down.
Even if you are not a big fan of JT, you need to watch this video. Put it on mute for all I care. I mean, how many times in your lives do you get to see the ultimate most perfect suit on a man who, how will I say it, hmm. wears it so well?
Tom Ford made it. Obviously. Watch:
Now, admit it. You danced.

Ever wondered or imagined how much work is involved in the making of one single couture dress?
Ever asked yourself why can’t anyone call their designs “couture” even if they worked really hard on it and it’s really beautiful?
Here is why. This is the real thing, people. Enjoy this inspiring little video by Chanel Couture:
That’s perfection. So inspiring!

First images from the new Balenciaga Spring/Summer 13 Men campaign are out now, and as expected – it’s even prettier than the women’s campaign. With somewhat graphic-Japanese touches, the hidden yet very obvious surprise is in the men’s top: it’s totally floral.
Balenciaga brilliant as always.
Unfortunately I couldn’t find a video of the runway in a good quality. Too bad 
You can see the collection in photos here, it really is an impecable collection!

In the middle of work BUT I just saw these on Acne Facebook page and I died a little. Aren’t these the most perfect ankle boots in the world?
It says that they are now back in stock, so you can get them here. I’m in love.
