no... THANK YOU!

Working in two jobs, going to a sawing course, painting lessons and kick box practices once a week isn't leave me that much of a spare time, and doe to the fact that I suffers from the "lazy person" syndrome when I have this free time in between all this activities my body will tell me to lay in idleness on the couch while whispering ״you need this" in a convincing beat frightening and intimidating voice. So blogging is a hard mission at this time but I need to get better at this, well I know I can do better! But thanks to Steve Jobs and his apple crew that invent the applications so I could keep updated through my closet friend, my dear I phone. 
 I know that we are now deep in the New York fashion week events but I'm a person who well known with his fashionable delays among the other bloggers. So as befits to one with a backfire I think I would like to talk about some of the couture shows that occurred last month or maybe more to acknowledge to some of the couture superstars. 
First I want to thank Karl Lagerfeld for letting us, all the females, all over the world, the opportunity to be formal with trainers. Is this the end of heels and platforms?! Well I guess that the answer is no but we do have the option now to be comfy and elegant! 
Second thank also to Karl for reminded me that I used to love rollerblading and now I want more than ever to buy myself a new pair, find a matching protectors and pouch, and heat the skate park while humming family matters theme song! 










 

To Raf Simons I will thank for the pastels and holes in every garment. I haven't fallen for the pastel magic yet but I want badly and perforated cloths have always been my frailty. One more to Dior that as showed in the Chanel show supported also our (by "our" I mean again, women all over the globe) comfort by presenting the sparkling small flowers decorated black trainers.













I'm almost done with all my gratitude just one last for Maison Martin Margiela that somehow succeeded with combining Two big loves of mine, art and sequins. And all of it served you on a bug had models with jeweled eyes and golden camel toe boots. He made me speechless fo sho. I mean camel toe I mean with boots I mean common...

It's not over after my bangs







Oh hats, yes, hats. I will open with the fact that hats don't get the much attention they deserve in our days. If back in the days hats was a must have accessory in every lady cloakroom (and if I go back to this "suit" thing I talked about last post, usually it was a matching hat) than I don't see why, from any reason, We can't enjoy this experience in our days. Well hats didn't vanish from earth but they are mainly related to two types of persons: "classic elders" and "youngs and restless", and when I write "hats" I mean all headpieces wherever they are and no, not the ones you take to a field trip. 
one pioneer at the hats field here in Israel is Tami Bar-Lev, a talented milliner who's kind of set back to life this time honored profession (does she have an audience in here? it's a question for another time but let's say that high fashion didn't caught it position here yet. such a late bloomers). among her mentors you can include also the colorful Piers Atkinson whom she worked for in his Londoner studio for a period and probably will explain some of her inspirations.

Tami makes humoristic and sassy headpieces by presenting an item simply as it is if it's a banana, a shrimp or even a fork that seem to be stuck in your skull. her debut collection followed the name "if you like pina coladas" and presented a memories from a dreamy vacation that apparently never happened but somehow alive and well in Tami mind and if we think about it, it alive in each and every one of us minds (I mean common.. don't lie and tell me that you never daydreamed about you lying in a woven hammock, your skin is brown as burned chocolate birthday cake and hoola girl serve you some exotic "umbrella decorated" drink!). I love it that she is brave enough to have fun with this forgotten and a bit neglected accessory because if you think about it.. It's the hat that makes the person. And don't let anyone tell you otherwise.
