No, this is not a political post. And it’s not going to be a post of Israelis wearing blue and white or pictures of their flag.
The thing that stands about fashion is what it makes statements about the culture, lifestyle, and environment where it’s worn. We’ve seen time and time again how Madonna and Britney Spears have worn t-shirts with sayings that display their feelings. Remember when all the celebs were wearing Barak Obama-emblazoned shirts to display their support for the man who later became our president? And of course, we can’t forget that designers like John Galliano and Vivienne Westwood use pieces from their collections to voice their feelings about war and their subsequent governments.
In my recent post called “Does Your Environments Influence Your Dress?”, I glazed over this idea when I compared my style in America to my style in Israel. But let’s take this concept one step further with my examples of my favorite Israeli bloggers, showcasing their own perceptions of Israeli society through their fashion without even realizing they are doing it.

Lots of black and white here, and my eye catches a ruffled one-shouldered black number worn by the model in the front of the shot. Can’t wait to see what else the new collection brings, when I visit the flagship store at Dizengoff Center in Tel Aviv Read the rest of this entry »
My post on Mirit Weinstock is finally out! After a rendezvous at her studio in Tel Aviv-Yafo, I wrote about my visit with Israeli designer Mirit Weinstock for American fashion blog Second City Style! I’m really happy with the post and you’ll be happy to know that Mirit has her newest collection for Spring/Summer coming out Israel and America (LA, NY, Virginia, and Florida) in just two weeks!

Israelis always tell me that Israel is like America’s 51st state (hey, I thought that was Puerto Rico?) but I don’t quite see it. I don’t think Israelis dress or act like Americans at all. The ones that say they do usually watch The Fresh Prince and wear baggy jeans. Read the rest of this entry »
After moving from Bograshov to Dizengoff St., getting settled in new apartment with new roommate, and heading to a Balkan Beat Box concert last night, I’ve pretty much been too exhausted to update this blog. Don’t worry, the Blog Buzz and Fashion Buzz posts are coming, but a girl needs a break!
(If it was up to me, I would update this blog everyday and lose the current fulltim job! But gotta pay the bills…)
Anyway, I let go of my temporary break this week because I was so flattered that Saray Habura mentioned me on her blog My Idea of Fashion. I noticed that she had been visiting America and had worn items like floral dresses and denim jackets and then suddenly when she took her first pic back in Israel she was wearing a sharp blazer, neon skirt, textured tights and black lace-up flats.
Check out Israeli designer Sharon Brunsher’s collection on Fashion TV!
Ron Kedmi did a photo shoot with a model for Sharon Brunsher’s new AW10 collection. Here’s the making of it. Check out the beautiful eyelet coat, knit overlay, and the bouncy curls on that beautiful model!
Sigal Dekel is celebrating her 10th anniversary as a well-known designer in Israel. That is truly a success in itself. In tribute to her outstanding fashion, she certainly deserves more than one fashion post on this blog.
One of my favorite Israeli designers is celebrating her 10th anniversary this year!
Arguably the most recognizable Israeli designer to date, Sigal Dekel has been putting her clothes on the market since 2000! With 14 stores across Israel and one of the few with her very own brand name shop in New York’s SoHo neighborhood, she’s really outdone herself by Israeli fashion standards.

And when I say plastic, I don’t mean credit cards–although I AM slowly going over my limit with all the shopping I’ve done lately! Read the rest of this entry »
I’ve written more then enough on Israeli designer Inbal Gvili, mostly because I really can’t get enough of her clothing. The Shenkar School of Design graduate and former intern for Vivienne Westwood now sells in London, Chicago, and of course, the dear little place I now call home. Read the rest of this entry »
