"Israel Fashion Art 1948-2008" in "Haaretz"' "Designer" Magz.

The year 2011 is only a few days away and people are into new calenders for the new year. The idea of time in general and lost time in particular intrigued writer Yaara Keidar who wrote an article on the subject in the monthly "Designer" magazine of "Haaretz" daily newspaper. Yaara's article features new as well as nostalgic clocks and calenders.
Among them she included two 60s calenders which I was photographed for during my youth.

As I've described in my August 17th, 2010 post here, at the insistence of the great Israeli design diva of "Maskit", Fini Leitersdorf I had become a "Maskit" house-model on whom Fini created some of her unique gorgeous gowns as well as a sought-after photography model. Among the many ads I was photographed for were several calenders two of which are featured in the monthly "Designer" magz. mentioned above.
One of them is  a "Samson Tires" calender in which I'm sitting on top of a car. The other is a "Tseva" (Paint) calender seen here.

This last one is also featured in my album-book "Israel Fashion Art 1948-2008"
"שיכרון עיצובים - אמנות האופנה בישראל" about Israeli Fashion.
I've included it there in the chapter about accessories since it shows the ballerina shoes which were fashionable at the time.

Hi, Today I would like to congratulate Yaara Keydar, editor of "Haaretz"' new fashion magazine "Designer Fashion" which came out today, Sept. 1, 2010. Yaara, a popular blogger as well as a former designer at "Castro" graduated with honors from Shenkar College of Design and Technology, B.Des in Fashion. , and also worked as fashion writer at "Rating" weekly magz.

In an article by Revital Madar about the military look, who requested some historic photos for the article - she included a 1948 picture of Eliyahu Sela, a Palmach soldier in his typical military garb.
The photo appears in  "Israel Fashion Art 1948-2008" "שיכרון עיצובים - אמנות האופנה בישראל" in the chapter devoted to hats. After receiving from me the photo Revital said it contributed a lot to the article's graphics. Thanks very much, Revital.

Although, most of the hats chapter's pictures are very modern, fashion-oriented and creative, it starts with a few Israeli Iconic hats from the times of the country's inception. One of those is the "Kova Gerev",knitted hat worn then by the Palmach guys. Another is the "Ata"' cotton "Kova Tembel" worn then, in trips, and in the Kibuts, by practically everyone.

The original photo as seen in the book looks as it does here above.
