Wherever I turn my head I see a crazy good textile designer who blows my mind. Just when I think I can’t find anyone who can top it, I find the next exciting designer (not that I’m complaining!).
Lately, thanks to the fab designer Mika Barr, I discovered one of her studio mates, Dikla Levsky and what a revelation it was! In her brand new Art to Wear collection, Dikla, uses her skills as a master of hand screen printing to bring to life the richest and most colorful scarfs. Oh… If you look closely you’ll find some breathtaking details…

“We all lead lives that are hectic and fast paced, and when I knit I get to take a break from it all and make time slow down if only for a short while.” What can I say, Meital Bailey and her Why Knot scarves won me over with this perfect philosophy. Oh, and there’s more: “I like to think that because our items are hand knit in a process that cherishes these quiet and calming influences these feelings are passed to anyone who wears them”. OK, now I seriously need to find me some Airy Golden Strings and wrap myself in it and pray for the gods of winter to skip this winter, just this one time!

I’m not really sure where I first bumped into Lee Coren’s beautiful scarves, but as I can feel the autumn breeze starting, it’s time to start thinking about expending my scarf collection (hope the Mr. won’t read this specific line!). Lee’s Exformation – Local Environment project, and her adaptation to local icons in typical Israeli cities, were the base of her screen printed scarves. Curved window bars, white plastic shutters and mailboxes are the inspiration behind all these mysterious prints.
BTW, as I have some well known issues with bags, I had to share with you Lee’s dark and night time vibe bag as well.

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?

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.

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 :)
