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:

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

Yossi Katzav fall/winter 2011-12 collection

There aren’t that many men fashion designers in Israel. Yossi Katzav is, no doubt there, the best one we have. I just came back from his fall/winter 2011-12 collection preview, and it’s beautiful. Some of his new designs made me think – hey, here’s the Israeli version for Isabel Marant for men. That’s a big compliment coming from me :-)

Here are his new campaign pictures:

And now is a great time to confess to you all that I have always loved men’s clothes, and can totally see myself wearing major parts of this collection in the coming winter. I mean, men always look so comfortable in their oversized sweaters and pants. I do believe that I look best when I’m comfortable. So why not?

I’d definitely wear these two looks from the fall/winter collection, easily:

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!
