SHENKAR'S PRESIDENT ABOUT "ISRAEL FASHION ART 1948-2008": A VERY IMPRESSIVE DOCUMENTAION

Hello, although this post was originally posted on May 3, 2010 I'm re-uploading it now since today I received an additional response from another Shenkar prof. asking me to "recommend" my "excellent book" to her Facebook design group members. So, I updated this post about the responses the book received from the academic world and here is the updated version.

Hi, Today I'm going to share with you some of the responses "Israel Fashion Art 1948-2008" which iscalled in Hebrew:

"שיכרון עיצובים - אמנות האופנה בישראל"

recieved from the academy.
Firstly, from Israel's leading fashion academy "Shenkar " college.

Shenkar's long-time president, Prof. Amotz Weinberg wrote to me "Nurit, I'm happy to see that you have fulfilled your mission...and have published a very impressive book that would, undoubtedly serve future generations of designers, being a good and objective documentation of Israel's fashion from the country's inception till today. Well Done!!!

Prof. Yuli Tamir, Shenkar's new president wrote to me:
"The book is fascinating and interesting...thank you very much...."

קיבלתי את הספר והוא מקסים ומעניין לקחתי אותו הביתה לסוף השבוע והיה לי זמן שקט להנות ממנו וללמוד רבות תודה רבה יולי
נשלח מה-iPhone שלי

Leah Perez, Shenkar Fashion Department Head wrote: Nurit, Thank you so much for the amazing book. You should be blessed for the important work that you have done.

All the best, Leah Perez.

Graphic Artists Anat Saacs and Dorit Berlin who heads the graphic dept. at Shenkar wrote about the book: "Congratulations on the publication of your book which we are sure is a great

contribution to Israel's world of design and fashion.

Mimi Ziv, a Shenkar prof. who also teaches at Technological Institute kindly remarked about the book: "Dear Nurit, your book is a treasure to all fashion lovers and since I lecture about fashion at Shenkar as well as at the Technological Institute I recommend it to all my students".

Another heart-warming response from the education world was that of Shoshana Guthilf, Chief fashion supervisor of the Office of Education who wrote: "Nurit, warm greetings on the publication of this beautiful and important book, which is a pure pleasure" .

Last but not least was Ran Shabani's, Head of Fashion Dept. at Wizo-Haifa Academy's response: "Nurit, the book is wonderful and is in my personal library as  well as in the library of Wizo-Haifa Academy. Congratulations!!!"

Also from a Fashion Dept. prof. Tami Gutman, at Wizo-Haifa Academy's (and formerly a student there) is this response: Hi Nurit, The first thing I did when I've heard about your book is to buy it and show it to my Wizo Academy students who were also very enthusiastic about it. Thanks a million for this amazing book. And of course it's my honor that you included a photo of a design of mine. Thanks again and congratulations on your blessed work. Tami.

One of the first representative of the academic world to comment about the book which I've included in my Feb. 20th, 2010 post (and forgot to include in this most relevant post) was Ronen Raz, who founded this year the fashion department at Avni school of Art and previously was the fashion dept. head at "Ascola".
