Yesterday we were at a fab exhibition called inSALAAM in SHALLOM by ThreeASFOUR a libel formed by Adi Gil, Gabi Asfour and Angela Donaaoser.
We entered a world that explored the identity between the Arab and Jewish aesthetics.
The collection previewed was first shown in New York Fashion Week , September 11 , for spring 2012.
The collection takes its Inspiration from familiar Jewish and Islam symbolical elements and weaves them into a new web that combines the two together.
In the first floor there was a screening of an exquisite video that brought the cloth and concept to life.
A soundtrack of pop music accompanied the exhibition and created a great dialogue between fashion and the history of oriental clothing.
A glimpse of some sketches from the inspiration board for the collection
Elements that inspired the libel are the star of David, Hamsa, Shofar (horn) and Kaffiyeh prints.
One of the highlights of the show was a collection of hats which had oriental and christen motifs. The hats were displayed with music that enhanced its origin of inspiration . The hats also Incorporated African motifs and showed an intrusting interpretation of eclecticism.
The hat scene is very hot now.
Since the royal weeding in Apr 2011 we can see hats in street fashion world wide,
it is no longer just a British dress code.
We like to mix our hats with ready to wear clothing, combining high and low aesthetics and creating a dual statement.
An accessible way of creating this cultural merge look is with this H&M hat.
"Beit Hair" is the home of this exhibition.
