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.

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!

I grew up in Israel where you can cover the whole country in a 6-hour drive from South to North. When we have to visit friends who live an hour away it's a big deal for us! We pack water and snacks for the way. Living in the states for 28 years I still cannot grasp the size of America. Flying from NYC to LA is like taking a trip to Europe. It is hard for me to get. The past few disasters that happened here from terrible storms to tragic shootings to horrendous fires left me numb and not in touch. Like it happened in a different country and very far away. I spoke with a few of you...
Let me try to analyze this quote by Osho in relation with Fashion & Body Image. Fashion's relationship with body diversity has always been fraught, says Jenny MacQuaile. In recent years, while consumers are calling for a wider size range on the runway & in stores, there are brands & publications who are reluctant to follow this request. Models are still pressured to lose weight & Parsons professors are lamenting the lack of attention given to designing for larger bodies. This is where I enter this argument. Personally, I feel that this kind of "Liberating" the curvier women & showing them on or off the runway, with lacy mini garments, or overexposing styles, is not doing women in general any...
