Tel Aviv Fashion Week

Here we are! The first Tel Aviv fashion week in 30 years is starting today, and I couldn't be more excited! When I came here for the first time, almost 4 years ago, I have to say I was kinda 'shocked' by fashion I could see in the streets as well as in a lot of shops. It is true though that being from Paris and being used to be surronded by fashion didn't male my judgement easy... :)

But little by little, everytime I was coming back, I was happily surprised by how fashion and style were changing. And it's just getting bigger and bigger. In the past 2 years, I started seeing online fashion magazines and sites, like FashionForward and Xnet, and the first israeli printed fashion magazine, BelleMode. 

And today, Tel Aviv Fashion week! I just can't wait to see what Israeli fashion has to offer to the world! And I really wish that soon, TLVFW will become a global fashion place, and will be schedule at a time closer to the main fashion weeks like Paris or New York, and will be part of the international fashion calendar!

If you are interested in knowing more about Tel Aviv fashion week history, and if you read Hebrew, I recommend you to read this great article from Xnet.

You'll find out that from 1965 to 1981, Tel Aviv used to host an internationally successful fashion week!
