Two years ago, when we started to discuss the need for an online store, I had a hard time with it. I love the one on one time in a retail store, the face time with a sales people and the intimacy in buying while trying on with someone there to advice me. I don't like change!:) Two years later, I completely understand it. I invite it and see the benefit in it. We still have a relationship with the woman who buys online; We didn't lose the intimacy. We keep in touch with her through email, social media channels and on the phone! We didn't lose the ones who like to buy in the store but rather opened the...
When I first started this business, the term "Road Rep" was just a phrase that meant to me that my sales people sometimes travel to see our customers. I did not fully understand what it meant. The amount of effort it takes to take one showroom on the road is astounding but also, a privilege to the buyers and stores given this service. This month as the season starts again, I want to highlight this fact and introduce each of the members of our sales team who goes on the road and their stories. I get car sick in a car and cranky and lonely and even a bit depressed when I am away from home for just a few...
It’s January 1st again.
This year, more then previous years, I feel that there is no time to waste .
Insisting that you, my dear colleagues, as well as myself live fully and more real.
From the heart!
To notice, to see what’s in front of me, to pay more attention to my feelings and not to my thoughts and to my stories, to pause more, not to react immediately.
To stay calm so my reaction later will be balanced, fair and not harmful.
We had too many reactions during 2017.
Let’s try something different.
Starting today. Now.
Love to all of you,
Yael
More than ever, the inter-relationship between Fashion & Art is within designer's daily work. More & more designers are getting direct inspiration from the Art world & thus build up an identity for their brand. From Japanese classic Florals to Jackson Pollock, Rothko, Mondrian, Yayoi Kusama & Vasarely - all varieties exist in complete harmony. Alembika & Japanese Florals Alembika & Japanese Florals Grizas & Jackson Pollock Grizas & Jackson Pollock Alembika & Rothko Kedziorek & Mondrian Alembika & Yayoi Kusama Kedziorek & Vasarely Fashion infiltrated the Museums. Museums are competing with one another, who will pull up the biggest show; the most explosive retrospective of a living or a dead superstar designer. Lately, the biggest of those exhibitions was...
My favorite food on Thanksgiving is the buttery mashed potatoes my friend Diane always makes. The butter with the gravy combination is just divine.
So I always wear elastic waist pants and an oversized top so I can eat as much buttery mashed potatoes as I wish!
This year I am most thankful for my work and team. Work is like home and my team is like family. I feel supported, heard and fully held on a daily basis.
What are you wearing this Thanksgiving? What are you most thankful for?
Happy Monday!
