I used to hire professional help through friends or people that "fell in my lap" who spoke Hebrew and it was comfortable; or just because the price was right and laziness was on my side. How did it all work out? I ended up with an "out of status" visa situation and was not able to leave the US for 5 years. My then lawyer thought it was OK to file a renewal without having the right conditions for approval. Then my dermatologist didn't think the black mark on my wrist was a problem. But for some reason I insisted on having it removed only to find out it was melanoma; thankfully in a very early stage. My accountant opened...
It is always a pleasure to visit Hagar Alembik and the amazing team of ALEMBIKA in Israel. You can learn so much about the brands you are working with just by looking at how they communicate and perform on a daily basis. It is such an amazing insight and privilege to be able to take part in the process of bringing a collection to life. It is even stronger an experience when you do it accompanied by brilliantly inspiring, strong and smart women. We were accompanied by a group of fantastic personalities, some of which you are familiar with. ALEMBIKA invited a group of great women to its presentation, a selection that represents the ALEMBIKA woman. A group that includes...
In the past month I visited a few of our designers at their home towns and studios. Meeting them personally gives a new angle to our relationship and a reason to continue and develop our work together and sometimes a reason to stop. I learn about their morals and work ethics from close and they learn about me. This month I met : Chiara (Italy) from Chiara Cocol, Hagar (Israel) from Alembika and Alexandra (Greece) from Ozai N Ku. All 3 are mirrors to their collections and a confirmation for me that what you see is who they are: Chiara is light and humorous. Colorful and interesting. Hagar is witty and passionate about women and clothes in a way I...

We always look for new designers to add to our family of brands.
Every season we go out "hunting" and many times come back with nothing.
For a brand to work we need it to bring fresh looks, novelty and something new for you to want to buy it. It has to ship on time and with high quality. We also want to work with good and kind people. Not an easy task to find.
I am happy to welcome 2 new brands into our Fall 18 package.
Ozai N Ku from Greece and Chiara from Italy.
Here is a brief look at both.
Hope you like them as we do.
Happy Monday.
