This past week I was reminded how small the world is and how we all depend on each other. People and countries. The political environment this past year and the coronavirus crisis created this "us" and "them" feeling and attitude between China and the US. It's happening "there", far away, so it's not our problem. It causes a disconnect and a lack of compassion. Most of our designers use fabric from China, many small businesses depend on Chinese production, we can't behave like we don't need them. This isn't just about Apple or Amazon being affected.

My friend is a Psychoanalyst and was introduced to a book called Sex For One during a sex therapy course she took and thought everyone should read it. It's all about masturbation. Everything you can think of is there. For men, women and couples. So I bought a copy for myself and a few more to give to my kids, my best friend's kids, my friends and colleagues. I like how the author talks about our first sexual experience and how it can bring stress to many if they didn't have a partner at a certain age. Well, she says, your first sexual encounter is with yourself. And she goes on into self-love and how masturbation is an expression of...

It is so great to mix business and pleasure and it really helps when you like to hang out with the people you work with.
We had the precious opportunity to work closely with Hagar Alembik last week and get to know her and work with Alembika in a different way.
We met the different agents around the world that share the Alembika language.
And we tasted Israel, hummus, the beach, Jerusalem and the Dead Sea .
Thank you team for coming!
Cheers to a beautiful collection and a successful season for all.
Happy Monday,
Yael
