Bennhut
Honestly: Even veteran and experienced fashion articles and editors (no matter names) found themselves a bit confused yesterday in front of the Bannhut show, and had quite a hard time focusing on the fashion aspect of the event. The beach party that Alhamister and Noa Benny pick up on the week’s route is already a particularly hot and uplifting tradition, and there is no doubt that as it gains mileage it only becomes more varied and joyful.

There were all sorts of trendy swimwear you could ask for right now – high nineties panties, oyster bras, sequins, beads, straps, prints and great color combinations – and classic options were requested with clever little twists, but mostly there were (almost) all models and relevant sizes To the average customer. In addition, Alchemist and Benny presented an advanced and up-to-date angle in the form of their collaboration with the esteemed fashion illustrator Talia Zoref, who created for them NFT illustrations for which all proceeds from the sale will be transferred to the Finchie Moore Mothers Foundation.

Birch oak

This year, Alon Livneh received the honor usually reserved for Master Vivi Blaisch (who chose not to present this time), and his collection show closed the Thyme Fashion Week in Tel Aviv 2022. Continues to tell his updated design story, when his current version is in fact a sort of avant-garde futuristic incarnation of the soft and romantic depth vision he formulated a few months ago.

So it was Nivar Madar who held the audience’s breath as she closed the show in a wedding dress with a sculpted shell bra. This time it was even more surprising and hot, when suddenly, when the show was just starting to heat up and gain momentum – a muscular and handsome man in a pink leotard came out on the runway, who after a slight rubbed of eyes turned out to see correctly and was indeed Jonathan Margie.

The superstar’s look was actually the simplest and most solid in the collection – apart from the leotard, he wore only khaki pants and white sneakers, but needless to say it was the most significant sentence in Birch’s current fashion statement, and not just because of the glamorous gimmick. The world the designer is now creating includes the most coveted pop star around in a pink leotard, and that’s the whole story.

The collection itself, inspired by the cubist works of Ukrainian-Russian artist Vadim Meller, showcases the sophisticated cutting works and sharp cuts that Livna specializes in, this time in a psychedelic color palette of azure-pink-orange that looks like graffiti of sunset, created with the incorporation of codlit printing technology.

The queer futurism that the designer flirts with was well expressed in the sculpted tops and especially in the alien glasses he created, but other than that – most of the items in the collection are actually completely wearable and are likely to be seen on some local and international stars soon. Though we can certainly settle for just this moment of Margie’s.
