Steel Grey Blouse & Black Boucle Skirt







The blouse presented in the photos was previously presented in dots pattern on dark blue Background. and here it is made of steel grey chiffon with white dots scattered unevenly. The blouse has a V shaped collar and both the front and back have smooth washed chiffon lining for softness and opacity. The sleeves are see-through, and are slightly puffy with a thin rubber strip at the end.
The ‘Boucle’ skirt design has a straight shape with two front pockets. To highlight the pockets I added a thin tattered stripe from the fabric’s end, creating a thread texture. Boucle is a type of tweed, a woolen cloth of various mixtures, but a very ‘extreme’ one, made from wool thread woven in rounded loops, creating a rich texture.

Mustard Blazer & Baby Corduroy Skirt









The Tel Aviv Fashion Week is in my eyes a symbol of sanity. Beyond my personal interest in fashion, I was happy to see a large scale event aspiring to resemble the world’s capitols. To me, fashion is a daily celebration. Choosing what to wear and matching items give me pleasure and entail the joy of creation. Fashion should be celebrated on the street, not in fancy events and on catwalks. Fashion is lived every day.

I designed a classic blazer made of mixed silk and wool, in a shade of mustard with a delicate brown pattern. Three greenish-mustard buttons on the front and three smaller matching buttons on each sleeve. The blazer has a high quality satin lining. It’s flattering, and light but warm.
The skirt model is ‘Shape’ which I presented in the past. This time I made it suitable for winter, out of bottle-green Baby Corduroy. The fabric is called “baby” because the corduroy stripes are thin and gentle. The skirt is knee-high, with two front pockets and a slit on each side for a feminine look and comfortable walk. Like all the skirts I design, this skirt has an inner lining. The lining maintains the skirt’s shape while you wear it and even after a long sitting.
