A non-runway post and a great cover

3 Mar 2013

I’m doing my best to still not say anything about Paris fashion week that is happening right now, because I feel like this season is all about strong collections for most brands, nothing looks simple, and I love it. I feel like it’s a lot to digest and I still need to do my thinking. For now, I can only say that I loved Balenciaga and Acne more than everything else, but it’s really too soon to tell.

In between so many runways coverages and reviews, I’m also very glad to find some inspiration in beautiful recent photos published on Another magazine and on Dazed & Confused websites, just for the change of scenery of catwalks and backstage beauty. And models, so many models. Or is it always the same group of models in all the shows? (rhetoric question that was).

Here are three. Non-catwalk non-models and non-commercial photos that I loved this week. It’s just a much needed pause, don’t worry. I’ll be back to posting outfits and editorials before you know it.

Ok, I feel much better now. Now off to watch Celine’s show from earlier today. So I’ll just end this post with a great Sunday song:

It’s about Tom Ford, NOT Justin Timberlake

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.

Tel Aviv Fashion Week, Dec. 2012

If you plan to go through my way too many photos here, taken last week during Tel Aviv fashion week, I should say a few words about it before you click on this link. For what it’s worth, I made a mistake. I should have taken a lot more photos of my friends and colleagues at the press room rather than blurry runway shots. And it’s not the quality of my photos that bothers me (that too, but it’s not my point) but the story of the Tel Aviv fashion scene that you don’t get to see here, at all. There are over a 100 photos here, taken during each show, and I had to attend them all. Most of them were taken for Haaretz newspaper’s website, to which I reported on an hourly basis during this event.

This is the time to tell you that I don’t think that what you are about to see here is about Tel-Avivian fashion or at least does not present the way I or my friends dress or wish to dress, if at all. I will also tell you that I truly loved 3 shows this week. One of them even brought tears to my eyes, and another one made me purchase a dress straight off the runway. But that is it. The gap between the amazing production and venue, done by Motty Reif, and the collections presented, was much too big to overlook. Keyword for next time: editing, editing, editing. I should have taken more photos of my friends, simply because they dress up ten times better than what we saw on the runways. As simple as that.

And last words: I had so much fun. It’s hard work, long hours and a lot of stress, and still, so much fun!

xx,

Hilla Ohayon.

December, really?

8 Dec 2012

0 Comment

It’s funny how I’ve been waiting for this month to start for quite a while now and now that it has, I’m pretty shocked that this year is coming to its end.
Big changes are coming my way and it’s way too soon to write about them here, but I can only say that I can’t wait for 2013 to finally start. I couldn’t be more ready for it.
This week has been quite eventful with collections previews, meetings, dinners with friends and, yeah, work. I started feeling my traveling need biting me a little bit too. Although I miss my friends in NY very much, and the city of course, I really want to go to Paris. I feel like I haven’t been there for too long, since March I think? I really miss it.
Here is the passing week in photos. You can find more in my Instagram at @HillaO.

I grabbed a couple of Noritamy rings and pilled them up on one finger. Here is the gorgeous result, I can’t have enough of those. You can check their amazing designs here at Nortiamy website:

This one was taken at one of my favorite places to eat in Tel Aviv, Hotel Montifiore. I think I eat there about 3-4 times a week now, I love it! These are a couple of deserts we shared, it was amazing!

And yeah I was so happy when Grace Coddington’s new memoir came in with a messenger at my place, I’ve been so curious to read it since I read about it. It’s here and it’s much thicker than I thought it would be:

What can I say, elevators can be boring. My accountant’s office is on the 34th floor, I had to goof around while I was on my way up:

I went to Maya Negri’s collection preview this week at the new boutique hotel in TLV, Brown Hotel. The lobby is beautiful, I loved the huge bookshelf, it’s amazing. Here’s me with Maya and her winter collection’s face-of.

The famous bookshelf –

One of the best things that happened to me was this – lunch with a very good friend, Shelly Gross. I’ve said it here before but I am never too lazy to say it again – besides countless great virtues Shelly has, she also writes the best fashion blog (written in Hebrew) in Israel. Hands down. It’s my favorite. If you read Hebrew, check it out here. Our time together is priceless and means so much to me. She is the best!

She took this photo of me at the restaurant. I regramed from her Instagram straight into mine, I loved it

Till next time,

Brunch at Delicatessen

18 Mar 2012

0 Comment

This one is all about food I’ve been waiting to check out the new place in town, Delicatessen, for more than two weeks now. When my friends invited me to join them fro brunch this weekend, I was really excited to go there, finally. The food was really nice, and we were really lucky with the weather too – it started with a really cold, grey and rainy morning, but the sun came out as soon as we were sitted at our table. It was such a nice brunch!

This is one of the corners of the deli downstairs. Vegetables and fruits look so good there, don’t they? I almost bought everything!

This is the pastry corner. Dangerous! Everything looks so delicious.

This is the flowers corner right by the entrance. It’s beautiful and so welcoming. I should start buying flowers again for my apartment, it’s such a joy to have them around.

This is definitely my favorite corner of the deli. So many little drawers full of little jars of jams and pastes.

We went for the basic breakfast and the double breakfast, just to make sure we don’t miss anything. It was really nice. I have to admit – I had better ones before. It was quite simple, and pastries can only be better. Scrambled eggs were really simple, there were very little chopped vegetables as a salad and the cheese wasn’t special. Next time, and there will be a next time, I should try one of the special dishes. There will be a second time as I really liked the place, the service was impecable and it has a great vibe.

Ok gotta run now,

xoxo,

Hilla Ohayon.

So I guess that the hottest trend in ad campaigns this fall is to have fun, be humorous, dance and laugh. I’m all for it. Jean-Paul Gaultier’s new ad campaign for his men fragrance has a very HOT man dancing in it, too:
