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.

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.
Whether you are a Cheer Leader or not, it is just so chic to wear a pleated skirt with a crop top.
It is really cool to show up with a vibrant color block oversized sweater.
Have a successful, enjoyable, stylish, and artistic school year,
All the best,
Talia

The circus wears Loubotin
This week, I visited the Design Exchange in Toronto to see the Christian Louboutin Exhibit. Christian is a famed shoe designer. The shoes that he presented were inspired by his life experiences including travel to different countries, his love for dancing, women and sex.
In the exhibit, he shows the process of shoe design from the original sketch to the final product. The dominant theme in the backdrop is the cabaret and throughout the display, Louboutin expresses his love for dancing and performing arts in his shoes. For Louboutin, shoes are an extension of the legs and they represent freedom of movement. When he pictures the shoes in his mind, he envisions the the dancers flying gracefully on stage, just as birds fly gracefully in the air.
As an artist, he creates avant garde shoes using controversial materials such as long hammer nails, crocodile skins, fish scales, and even trash.
Finally, I would like to highly recommend visiting this beautiful exhibition of creative genius, which will stimulate your senses. Viewing the work of Louboutin puts you in a fashion paradise. Although, if you are an animal lover this this is not the exhibit for you.

Beautiful in Black
Today, I bought a beautiful black cocktail dress. Following this event, I was suddenly inspired to draw a very rich and elegant black collection. I wanted to capture the texture and the feeling of the fabric in the illustrations since black is all about minimalism and detail of the garment.
Each woman has a different expectation from this color either to hide or even to create a dramatic effect. For example, from my point of view, black is all about showing a look of pure perfection. Most women have at least one black garment in their wardrobe and this garment is embraced with accordingly with their personal style. Black is thus is so worthy.
