All the male guests dressed in black and wore traditional shtreimel hats for the occasion, which traditionally separates the men from the women.
There did not appear to be much poverty in Tel-aviv itself and most people walked around very smartly dressed and some very smartly undressed. It was nothing out of the ordinary to see women strolling along the main streets in very pretty two-piece suits, while on the beach itself everything between 9 and 90 appeared to enjoy the habit of sunbathing — old women and two year olds plus all the young belles of Tel-aviv. Quite a place...
It's a beautifully cut and timeless piece - camel wool, dark chocolate brown detailing and a line that elongates and flatters: The London Contrast coat is one of the Duchess of Cambridge's most elegant wardrobe choices.
But while some lucky women, royalty in their midst, are proud owners of the Katherine Hooker's creations, one anonymous Israeli boy was the inspiration behind the whole label.
In a statement released Monday evening in Los Angeles, Ms. [Natalie] Portman said: “I am deeply shocked and disgusted by the video of John Galliano’s comments that surfaced today. In light of this video, and as an individual who is proud to be Jewish, I will not be associated with Mr. Galliano in any way. I hope at the very least, these terrible comments remind us to reflect and act upon combating these still-existing prejudices that are the opposite of all that is beautiful.”
It was not known how Ms. Portman’s contract with Dior might be affected.

Galliano is alleged to have told a woman sitting at a table beside him: ‘Dirty Jew, you should be dead.’
France’s Europe 1 radio claimed he then ranted to an Asian man sitting with her: ‘****ing Asian b******, I’m going to kill you.’ He then allegedly turned back to the woman, repeatedly calling her an ‘ugly whore’, the station reported. Witnesses called police during the incident, said to have taken place in front of dozens of astonished revellers.
A police source said: ‘We arrived extremely quickly and managed to break up the disturbance. The man involved was briefly arrested and then released pending charges for assault. ‘Witnesses said he swore heavily, using anti-Jewish insults, before attacking a couple. ‘Both have provided witness statements, as have a number of other people at the bar, including staff.’
Anti-semitic remarks are punishable by up to six months in prison in France, but Galliano has not yet been charged with an offence. His lawyer, Stephane Zerbib, ‘formally denied’ his client had made racist comments. But Dior chief executive Sidney Toledano said: ‘Dior affirms with the utmost conviction its policy of zero tolerance towards any anti-semitic or racist words or behaviour.

In Mombasa, Kenya, the coastal city's "twilight ladies" have ditched their skimpy "uniforms" for the much more conservative buibui—a billowing, ankle-length gown with head covering that Muslim women in the region wear. Sex workers say it lets them hide their identity, avoid arrest, and look respectable.
Unsurprisingly, Muslim women who cover themselves head to toe with the buibui aren't exactly happy with this fashion makeover.
At Fashion Week in New York last month, Brazilian designer Alexandre
Herchcovitch...included below-the-knee skirts, billowing silhouettes, and, most conspicuously, hats. Lots of elaborate, distinctly undainty hats, which bore a striking resemblance to, of all things, those worn by fashionable Orthodox Jewish women on holy days—making Herchcovitch's runway seem less like a Saturday at the Shows than Sabbath in certain synagogues. This followed on the heels of his summer 2007 men's collection show, in which models were draped in oversized Star of David necklaces, and more than a few others dressed in pants and belts that plainly recalled zizit, the ritual fringes worn by Orthodox Jewish men.
Herchcovitch's work has been startling...The 35-year-old, whose Jewish grandparents immigrated to Brazil from Poland in the early 1900s, attended a yeshiva and enthusiastically points to his religious background as an inspiration. "I was influenced by the modest Jewish attitude of dress, of not showing the body," Herchcovitch once told the *Jerusalem Report*, underscoring that "this goes strongly against the body-beautiful culture of Brazil."
Nevertheless, designers have stopped short of weaving Jewish references into their designs—until now. The pioneer in this is Herchcovitch, a couturier of serious talent, but he is not alone. Earlier this week, designer Levi Okunov credited Kabbalah as the inspiration for the peacock-style Oscar dress he made for Sally Kirkland (leading some to wonder how many other blights Jewish mysticism has in store for the universe). Whether inspired or atrocious, though, the real surprise has been how slow the trendsetters in this traditionally Jewish industry have been to catch on to the fad for Jewishness.
Alber Elbaz, the Israeli-born [nope. Moroccan-born], American-trained designer at Lanvin, received the Légion d’Honneur today in a small ceremony at the Ministry of Culture. After the red ribbon was pinned on Elbaz’s chest, he said he no longer knew where he belonged — not in Israel, not in America, and, he admitted with a smile, he had doubts about France. He then offered that he belonged to the world of women. Yet, wherever Elbaz has gone in his career he has had the support of two men: Ralph Toledano, the Chloé chief executive, who hired him years ago at Guy Laroche; and Pierre Bergé, who put him at Yves Saint Laurent. They attend his Lanvin shows, and they were in the crowd today.
