My day in fashion – pics

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:

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:

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.

Shenkar Fashion Department Graduation 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!

Video: Kate Moss & Terry Richardson for Mango Fall 2011 Campaign

YouTube Preview Image

 

Kind of funny to see Kate Moss trying out clothes from the bag, making sure they suit her. As if there is any outfit in the world that doesn’t suit her just perfectly!

Now, if only the new Mango collection was half as good as this video is, I’m sure the brand and the world of middle brands would be much happier. Sigh…

Versace and H&M fall 2011

So it’s true, H&M will present its collaboration with Versace in the coming Fall. I just came back from the press presentation with pics I got from H&M’s PR, a video of the campaign and pics I took myself in the showroom:

And here are the pics I took this morning in the showroom, minutes before the press presentation started:

 

 

As for me, I say: ok. Nothing fancy. This isn’t Lanvin for H&M. It’s elegant, it’s trendy, you can see Prada and Balmain in it, you can see faux fur, faux leather, wool, cotton, suede, nothing new. It’s simple, it’s basic, it’s not too trendy, it’s wearable. It’s FINE. That’s all… Sorry, I’m not too excited. It’s very commercial, and not in a bad way.

The entire lookbook and collection’s pictures are up to my Flickr, you can view them here.

22.6.2011 p.s. update: The video “Versace For H&M – The Message” is out today, watch Donatella for 28 seconds here:

Anna Wintour: “Geeks Can Be Chic” (video)

Now seriously, don’t you feel a whole lot better now?

I know I do. Or the geek inside me does for sure :-D

Lara Stone stars Tom Ford’s new ad camapign

Tom Ford is seriously everything. He is a genius when it comes to women. I sometimes think he understands them even better than they do themselves.

When I heard that he is going into makeup and starting a line of his own, my first thought was – hmm he might be good as Chanel – and I never think that way on any other brand. Chanel cosmetics is simply the best.

Lara Stone was chosen to feature his new campaign. She looks amazing! I have to admit it that when it comes to the little details of it, I’m not a huge fan of the colors and shades. I’m a classic red lipstick kind of girl. But we shall see…

Angelina Jolie’s campaign for Louis Vuitton

 

 

 

“Core Values” campaign by Louis Vuitton is out today. Shot by Annie Leibovitz in Cambodia and features Angelina Jolie, who looks like she is feeling right at home. “Core Values” series of campaigns by Louis Vuitton is more about quality, travel and the brand’s values rather then the clothes.

Here is the picture sent by the Louis Vuitton PR this morning:
