Israel Fashion: New York

May 3, 2007 - 3:30 PM by Stephanie

Tuesday’s NY Sun ran a rather complimentary article about Tel Aviv’s fashion scene: the city’s young designers, hip and trendy places to buy togs and chic boutiques.

Check out the photos, snapped by Gideon Boaz (who tipped me off to the article, thanks thanks). We mentioned Gidi here last month when we wrote about his interview style documentary currently making film festival rounds.

Back to fashion and the article’s lead:

Finding the best shopping in a foreign city isn’t easy. Uninspired friends or a misguided concierge can send you off to a shopping center crammed with the same brands available all over the world. Tel Aviv, however, is awash in young designers with fresh takes on fashion and design. Neighborhood after neighborhood is loaded with small shops selling clothing, jewelry, and accessories made by local talent. It’s a jolt to the jaded — and a relative bargain compared with the shopping in the world’s fashion capitals.

Fresh, bargain, original…cha cheeng.
