I RECENTLY GRADUATED WITH A BACHELOR'S DEGREE IN JEWLERY AND FASHION DESIGN AT BEZALEL ACADEMY IN JERUSALEM. I ENGAGE MAINLY IN MEN'S FASHION AND SHOE MAKING. I FOCUS ON COMBINATION OF TRADITIONAL CRAFTSMANSHIP WITH INNOVATIVE TECHNOLOGIES, BY MAKING SHOES IN CLASSICAL TECHNIQUES AND THEN INFUSING IT WITH 3D PRINTING. AS FOR CLOTHES, I USE DIGITAL PATTERN MAKING WITH LASER CUTS AND 3D PRINTING TOGETHER WITH TRADITIONAL SEWING TECHNOLOGIES. LAST SUMMER I DID AN INTERNSHIP AT A MEN'S FASHION AND LEATHER WORK STUDIO AT HAVIE MNFCT. IN MY WORK I COMBINE RECYCLED MATERIALS AND DIFFERENT ECO FRIENDLY TECHNOLOGIES THAT SAVES MATERIAL USED.

Latest Collection

Freedom in Control

The project is about the ability to lose control for a defined time, through the choice to give it all to emotion, experience, or to another human being, to achieve peace of mind, to connect to your inner self and your highest desires.
I chose to use the lily flower as a motif of modesty, purity, and devotion. I used it as an impression in the collection while using advanced 3D and 2D technology and a variety of materials.
The project includes three outfits with a duality in them; the clothing is constricting on one hand and reminds us of the need to break free. On the other hand, it expresses strength and power. The collection allows for release while remaining in control to manage a standard lifestyle.

Techniques: Laser cutting, fdm and SLS 3d printing, digital fabric printing, sublimation, digital patternmaking, 3d modeling using fusion 360 software, classic shoe making techniques, wet molding, hand sewing, and machine sewing
