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

12 Mar 2011

0 Comment

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!

Happy New Year | Shana Tova :-)

9 Sep 2010

0 Comment

There’s nothing I’m looking forward to more than going out of the city tomorrow. It’s a long holiday weekend, and I really need to get some air that doesn’t come out of my laptop.

May this year be the breakthrough it seems already to be,

May it be sweet, and tendering,

Loving and easy,

Healthy and inspiring,

Interesting and always surprising.

(in the picture: symbol of nature to me: the Daisy by Marc Jacobs ad campaign)

Mulberry | Bottega Veneta Fall/Winter 2010/2011 Campaigns

22 Aug 2010

0 Comment

By now, I can say it loud and clear – I have no passion for British or Italian designers. It’s weird, I know, but that’s just the way it is – I have never felt out of air watching Cavalli, Gucci, Burberry or even Fendi. Nothing.

It’s just that -

Bottega Veneta always takes my breath away. It’s the only Italian brand I’m sure I’d love to wear their everything. Weather I see their adds on magazines or walk by their store on 5th avenue – I always feel the same – breathless -

Same goes with Mulberry, but I have to admit it – it’s a new thing. I used to be as indifferent about them as I am towards Dolce & Gabbana. I just saw their Fall campaign and understood – they are breathtaking too -

P.S.

The last photo was taken by my friend Shelly Gross, who is a very talented fashion blogger (in Hebrew) and a fashion journalist. This picture appeared in her blog, and was taken at a fashion show which was held two weeks ago in Tel-Aviv. The legs belong to me and to another friend who is a fashion journalist, Aviv Bertele. I think it’s a very funny picture :-D

FCUK – French Connection Fall/Winter 2010

16 Aug 2010

0 Comment

I was invited to FCUK lunch and presentation for press today. It was pretty special. It was held at a private room of a nice restaurant, and the presentation was really pleasant. For just one hour, it was really nice to forget that it’s a Monday and it’s 3pm, practically the most stressful part of the week. I have always loved French Connection’s designs and chic, and of course, I always love meeting my fashion journalists friends. Along the way, I’ve made some great friends in that field, and we inspire and help each other a lot. That’s fun. I love my jobs. All of them :-)

My weekend shopping

20 Feb 2010

6 Comments

Well, there’s nothing like great shopping spree with my girlfriends, with quality coffee break and major catching up. Especially when it’s semi-summer here in TLV, even in the middle of February :-)
As I also write the sales column now (see previous posts), I’m well aware of all the really interesting sales around town. I took my friends to a private show room yesterday, packed with vintage designers items, which were all on 15% discount! It doesn’t sound like much, but when you buy Issey Miake, Chanel and Dior, all new and vintage, it’s a lot!
I was really biting my tongue there, trying not to over spend or just treat the place as a museum ;-) but couldn’t resist a gorgeous vintage Eli Tahari belt. It was super expensive, but it’s so pretty, I just couldn’t resist myself. I even tried to imagine how my weekend will look if I give it up, and just couldn’t face the upcoming consequences – I saw one unhappy girl there – so I bought it. Here it is:

Eli Tahari vintage belt
My friends got wonderful dresses and a bag, and then we were on our way for a little breakfast. A short while after zipping and chatting, one of my friends had to leave, and I came up with the idea of “let’s just walk nearby and see what’s around”, so we both did, knowing this walkabout will probably have its price tags soon, in plural of course.
We “somehow” got to a boutique I always buy in, which I knew my friend would love, as we share a very similar style. 2 beautiful tops, 1 dress and earrings later for me, and a pile of gorgeous stuff for her, we swore to get together over coffee next time or we’ll be haunted by our bank managers for good :-D
Here’s what I got there:

blue sateen top

Asymmetric white T with black printing

dotted dark orange tunic/dress

And earrings -

Earrings

Great shopping, ha? Though I got to admit it – there’s nothing like that belt. It’s amazing.

Happy!

xoxo,

Hilla Ohayon.
