Yossi Katzav fall/winter 2011-12 collection

28 Aug 2011

There aren’t that many men fashion designers in Israel. Yossi Katzav is, no doubt there, the best one we have. I just came back from his fall/winter 2011-12 collection preview, and it’s beautiful. Some of his new designs made me think – hey, here’s the Israeli version for Isabel Marant for men. That’s a big compliment coming from me

Here are his new campaign pictures:

And now is a great time to confess to you all that I have always loved men’s clothes, and can totally see myself wearing major parts of this collection in the coming winter. I mean, men always look so comfortable in their oversized sweaters and pants. I do believe that I look best when I’m comfortable. So why not?

I’d definitely wear these two looks from the fall/winter collection, easily:

Or even this -

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

28 Jun 2011

0 Comment

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!

Gottex spring/summer 2011 fashion show – Tel Aviv

19 Mar 2011

0 Comment

It’s been a crazy week in the fashion industry of Tel Aviv, as funny as it may sound. Imagine: waking up at 7am every morning (not my idea of a fun start), getting picked op at 9, going to at list one fashion show and another presentation held somewhere across the city and in the middle of the day, and in the middle and after try squeezing in meetings, replying to emails and, you know, actually work

No wonder I ended up sleeping most of this weekend. I was simply exhausted!

I get a lot of emails from my readers lately, saying they LOVE the videos I take from the runways. I’m so glad about that! And I’m also happy to do it. I mean, if I have the option to show you fashion shows that you are interested to see, I say why not?

Gottex presented their spring/summer 2011 collection in a beautiful building right on Jaffa’s beach. It was a gorgeous sunny day and the collection was very interesting – great colors and unusual cuts and shapes, both for swimwear and beachwear. Here are the pics I took during the show, together with some catalog pics:

The videos from the fashion show are here:

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:

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!
