My day in fashion – pics
28 Aug 2011
While waiting for my cab to pick me up to a fashion preview, I took these:
The beautiful tree below my window
The window of my favorite vintage gallery:
Gallerie Parisienne window
The sidewalk. A typical Tel Avivian sidewalk:
The sidewalk
At the fashion preview, I couldn’t help myself and took some feet pictures, mostly of the shoes my colleagues were wearing, and of the beautiful poster on the wall, and my favorite sweater from that collection, by Yossi Katzav:
feet and shoes. 1

And last, the sweater, hanged on a hanger on the side, just like that:

Sculptures in Sepia
28 Aug 2011
I take my camera everywhere I go, no matter what. That’s why I chose a really good mini digital camera that can fit my smallest clutch bag 
You can never know when you will see a moment or a frame worth capturing. I try not to miss those moments. When I’m too lazy, I just use the camera on my iPhone. Sometimes it’s good enough.
I saw these beautiful sculptures at an opening of a very big fashion store in Tel-Aviv. Needless to say, I couldn’t think about the clothes after I saw them. They are full of humor, life and naive all together.

Shenkar Fashion Department Graduation 2011
28 Jun 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!

Anna Wintour supports gay marriage
21 May 2011
It feels like it’s only a matter of time until this amazing woman will seriously go into politics, doesn’t she? I, personally, really hope that she will. She really doesn’t have to say much, and in her own way, Anna Wintour always chooses the shortest way to say what she has to say in the clearest and most coherent way possible.
Watch her here as she join the human rights campaign “New Yorkers For Marriage Equality”:

Fashion journalists presentation at Banker boutique
17 May 2011
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:

It was a gorgeous sunny morning today in Tel Aviv, just perfect for an early presentation with the beautiful beach view
The location was amazing – it was presented on the rooftop of Hotel Alexander, which was recently renovated from scratch and is now gorgeous. I had to take a couple of videos because of it, and the shoes and the bags, of course! Following my videos, you can see the pictures of the new collection (credit: Nine West PR in Israel):
