THE FASHION MARKER: DIY

WEEKEND SKETCHING

Fashion Illustrator: Talia Zoref

Just before a new busy week begins, I took my notebook drew a few fashion sketches.

I don't know about you but this is the best way for me to relax on the weekend, sit down, drink a coffee and draw clothes.

Have a great week,

HERE COMES THE BRIDE

Wedding gown inspired by Spanish synagogues. Designer: Levi Shenhav.

Recently I had the pleasure of going to see a beautiful exhibit called, “Here comes the Bride” at Beit Hatfutsot – The Museum of the Jewish People in Tel Aviv. The exhibit was actually a project that was created through a collaboration between the Fashion Design Department of Shenkar College of Engineering and Design and Beit Hatfutsot. Fourteen third year students studying Fashion were asked to participate in the project and design a wedding gown inspired by the Jewish community from each of their family backgrounds. The results were amazing. The students created dresses inspired by synagogues around the world, Jewish traditions, various items of Judaica including prayer shawls, teffillin and mezuzot to name a few, jewelry, and even musical instruments. The different Jewish cultures represented in the dresses included Spanish, Greek, Iraqi, Moroccan, Yemenite, German, Polish, and Algiers Jews. The dresses were beautifully and delicately made by using fine materials such as Chiffon, Silk, Organza, beads, crystals, and leather. It is clear from viewing these beautiful works of art that each and every student involved in this project invested many hours and days of intense sewing, beading, pattern making and fitting of the garments. The work is extremely detail oriented producing very special and unique dresses. I deeply recommend going to see this one of a kind exhibition particularly since the designs are very original and the dresses are just breathtaking.

MOROCCAN GLAM

This week the weather is really hot, and that is why I was inspired by the Moroccan Desert to create some fashion illustrations. Although the dessert is monochromatic, the Moroccan culture has a rich Mediterranean color scheme. It also has a lot of textures which you can see on mosaics ,and in the Moroccan architecture. I was inspired by these while drawing the garments.

NY Fashion Week

Like every year, fashion lovers from all over the world gather in NYC in September to attend New York's MB Fashion week. In celebration of this occasion, I am writing a post dedicated to the New York sense of style. The garments featured here remind me of the fancy parties, red carpet events and the sophisticated rush hour atmosphere that take place often in the Big Apple. Although, I haven't really had a chance to tour New York properly, this is the inspiration I got from the photos and fashion in this famous city.

How to dress for the new school year?

This week, the school year began. After a long, fun, sunny summer vacation, it is now time to get back to school. I would like to inspire you and show you how to start the year with style.

Of course, one of the most important items in any student's closet is skinny jeans. They match almost every thing. I bet you could wear them again and again without anybody noticing.

Another item I think could be very useful is a unique college jacket which you can wear with just any shirt underneath as seen in the example I illustrated below. As you can see, it has black lace sleeves attached to a red leather vest.
