Goldfish | A Whoolish Statement
I meant to write about the Goldfish scarfs today and just before hitting the publish bottom I discovered that the ladies of Dreed*Tea blog are having a giveaway of one of the Goldfish scarfs. So I thought to my self, why not kill two accessorized birds in one post? Goldfish is the woolish child of Shira Paz and Sharon Goldman who created some kind of scarf slash statement necklace. And you know me, I’m down with any scarf or any other statement piece any day of the week.
BTW, how beautiful is Daina of the Dreed*Tea bunch?

Frog | Einat Burg | Shawl Madness
Einat Burg and her “Frog” fabrics are no strangers to DesignBreak. “Curiosity is a wearable raw material” is one of those sayings that Einat believes in with passion.
Her latest handmade gauze wrap stole shawls defiantly fall under the show stopper category. With the help of model and dancer Tamar Soon, I’m experiencing a shawl madness.
All these magnificent shawls are awaiting at Frog’s Etsy Shop.

Shirly Rov | Trying to Beat Winter
So winter has arrived, there is no doubt about it! I prayed for the god of seasons and asked him to have mercy and skip this damn season just once… I guess he was too busy with Xmas and all to answer my prayers.
And in winter time you have to protect yourself with just the right accessories. Right? Right!
Shirly Rov, one of those graduates that I knew I had to keep my eyes on, just came up with these beautiful hand dyed cotton scarfs. I have a feeling the yellow one will find it’s way to my neck real soon :)

Tamar Branitzky | Stained Chiffon

Tamar Branitzky is one of these gifted designers who knows how to stand out. At this moment, I can’t think of another textile designer who reinvents herself time ofter time. Under the bright red lipstick is a hard working and driven designer. In Tamar’s “Stained journey”, she let her imagination and emotion run wild. The outcome is a series of collages and hand drawings that comes to life in a form of mesmerizing chiffon scarfs. Like a work of art, you can find only a limited number of copies.

World Break | Emmadime | Knitting Bows

I’m pretty sure I’ve seen Emma Ann Robertson’s work before… I just can’t put my finger on it.
Once I dug into her blissful blog I found myself hours later, mesmerized by her distinguished sense of style!
Emma is a graphic designer by day and a knitting princes by night. Her, Emmadime : Knitted photo shoot blew my mind. Such a woolish fairytale!

Don’t know what about you, but a knitted bow is just what I need right now.

Inbal Ithachi | Feminine Touch

I can officially say that winter has arrived! Don’t get me wrong, I’m not too happy about it but I can share with you Inbal’s new collection which deals with the seam line between garment and jewelry. It was inspired by male clothing. Inbal brings her own interpretation to a feminine tie. She breaks down the classic male shirt and re-constructs it as a female clothing accessory.

One On One Break | Tamar Branitzky | Fabric stories

  • Sneak peek from the summer collection
  • Fabric design for fashion designer Keren Mualem
I don’t know what about you but I already pulled out my Havaianas. Unfortunately It started to get chilly all over again. Oh well, I guess this is the right time to intrudues my first One On One Break, Tamar Branitzky.

www.tamarbranitzky.com

I’d love to hear about you, your journey, how it all began.
I had a lot of dreams that i wanted to fullfil (some of them are still on my mind), but I had to choose my studies. I chose fashion design but I didn’t get in.
I was accepted to the Textile Design Department at the Shenkar College of Engineering and Design, almost by accident…
Today I thank those who didn’t accept me because they gave me the opportunity to enter into the spectacular world of textile. By the first week at school I knew I was in the right place. To tell you the truth, I was never exposed to the Textile Design Department until the moment I got there.
School was a wonderful experience for me, the courses were versatile and let me connect the different worlds around me: dance, theater, painting, music, photography, and sometimes even fashion. All came to life in the fabric.
Tamar
Can you describe your work process for me?
My working process is intuitive and experimental. My successful designs are those who happen by accident. Usually, I don’t make sketches. It all begins directly with the materials and the fabrics.Tamar
Can you tell me more about your scarves?
My scarves are actually wearable surfaces, made of multiple layers which combine different types of chiffon, cotton and silk. The texture is varying from scarf to scarf and it looks like the material is aging while maintaining a varied and rich color scale. Each scarf is made by hand and has a unique combination of color and material. The process is experimental and there is an element of surprise. The fabrics tell me how they fall apart and come together with other fabrics. Another part of the collection is handmade burn-out shirts that gives a fragile look.Tamar
Can you tell me which designers inspire you?
Diana Orving, Duro Olowu, Dries Van Noten, Proenza Schouler, Akris, and Monki which is a Swedish fashion company that I digg.

Tamar
What about some blogs that you visit regularly?
sincerelyjules, alloverprint and pingmag who is no longer active but you can still find lovely designs and posts.Tamar
I’m curious to know where does your inspiration come from?
My inspiration is drawn from deferent places: recipe books from the forties, crumbling walls, family photographs from my personal archive. I test the scarfs limits and how text becomes texture. I translate sequences of actions in the kitchen to actions in textiles and from them create scarves.
I collect old black and white pictures from the beginning of the century and add color to them.
I admire those photographers and their subjects, often anonymous. The look in peoples eyes, their clothing and the location in the images are a source of inspiration to me.

My obsession with Irit Dulma’s felt creations began when I first saw her felted scarfs and bags at Agas and Tamar shop. Since then I follow her foot steps and am amazed with her endless creativity. Apaya, her last project which was designed in collaboration with Ayala Serfaty for Aqua Creations is mesmerizing! What’s next? I guess I’ll have to wait and see…

Linor is a student at the Textile Design Department of Shenkar College of Engineering and Design.
