Gottex spring/summer 2011 fashion show – Tel Aviv

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:

Chanel Mademoiselle Campaign – Blake Lively by Karl Lagerfeld

I can really try, but I can’t ignore it or postpone it much longer. Blake Lively is gorgeous, as always, and even more in Chanel. The bags on the new Chanel Mademoiselle collection are amazing. It’s really hard to choose this time. The campaign is super elegant, very luxurious and above all – has the perfect Chanel chic.

Here is the making-of video:

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

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!

Alon Livne Spring/Summer 2011 Collection – pics and videos

Alon Livne, one of Israel’s young emerging designers, held his Spring/Summer 2011 collection press presentation last Thursday. It took place in a renovated loft/studio downtown Tel-Aviv, where he presented a video art presentation and a semi-fashion show/presentation. Timing was almost perfect for this one, as it reminded me a lot of  Thierry Mugler‘s fashion show, which took place the day before. I have to admit it – something good is happening to Israeli fashion, and maybe, just maybe, we will exist one day on the world fashion map as well.

You can see the pictures I took (while filming! I got it this time :D ), the catalog pictures and videos I took at the event here below. Enjoy!

Nine West summer 2011 presentation in Tel Aviv

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):
