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:

Daphne Guinness Performance in the Barneys New York Windows

3 May 2011

Just a little before the Met Gala started last night, Daphne Guinness picked her new interesting location to get dressed and ready to go to the ball – the windows at Barneys New York. Her performance was something the fashion world will remember for quite some time now, I assume

You can watch her performance here:

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!

Alon Livne Spring/Summer 2011 Collection – pics and videos

6 Mar 2011

0 Comment

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 ), the catalog pictures and videos I took at the event here below. Enjoy!

I hope you liked it

Jil Sander Fall/Winter 2011 – once in a life time

27 Feb 2011

0 Comment

Well, maybe more than once, but it is definitely the first time something like this has ever happened to me. I was going through Style.com’s iPad app yesterday, checking out the latest shows at Milan fashion week. I entered Jil Sander’s show right after losing heartbeats by watching Bottega Veneta and Alberta Ferreti, which were both so beautiful. And then it happened:

For the first time in my life, I saw a collection that is spotless. I would wear each and every item of it, thinking it’s the most beautiful one i could ever wear. The black pieces are all spot on – the capes, the sweaters, the coats, and omg the pants – are all perfect. After a brilliant summer collection, you’d think it will be hard to top it, and then came this one, which is totally mind blowing. The gray oversized maxi wool dress literally has my name on it!

I highly recommend checking out the collection here at style.com. A few highlights are up on Fashiongonerogue, here are some of my favorite:

Nine West summer 2011 presentation in Tel Aviv

24 Feb 2011

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):
