Mira Zwillinger Summer 2011, a set on Flickr.
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.

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!

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:

Ach, the joy of discovering a new beautiful fashion e-commerce site that sells my favorite designers and has a gorgeous UI and design is a big pleasure to me Especially when it’s late at night, I’m done working and already in bed with my iPad. That is definitely the best time to catch my attention!
Farfetch.com offers an easy-to-shop experience, designed as a fast moving magazine that keeps you focused and want to explore more and more. It is London based, and offers fashion for sale from all the big yet indie designers, like Isabel Marant, Sylvia Toledano, Marc Jacobs and more.
As a girl, not to girly but still – a girl, my summer addictions that are already starting to wake up now, a little before spring time – are designer handbags and dresses. I just can’t get enough of those and honestly believe that you can’t have too many summer dresses or handbags. The variety of designer handbags on farfetch.com is enormous, and it’s really hard to choose because they are all so pretty. Now, who can choose between Proenza Schouler, Mulberry, Balenciaga, Givenchy and more? Not me, that’s for sure.
Here are just a few examples:
Designers handbags on farfetch.com. Marc Jacobs
Designers handbags on farfetch.com. Valentino
As for the designers dresses on farfetch.com, I think that it would be so easy to renew my entire summer wardrobe just by clicking and clicking! It’s endless and so pretty. My favorite dresses there are definitely coming from Diane Von Furstenberg, Isabel Marant and Carven, which are always so feminine and compliments every woman’s figure, like these for example:
Designers dresses on farfetch.com. Diane Von Furstenberg
Designers dresses on farfetch.com. Isabel Marant
Designers dresses on farfetch.com. Carven
So on your next online fashion shopping spree, I highly recommend checking out farfetch.com‘s gorgeous range. You’re in for a lot of fun!

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:
