| Rut Dayan and her foreword to the album-book "Israel Fashion Art 1948-2008" "שיכרון עיצובים - אמנות האופנה בישראל" ""Israel Fashion Art" is an exciting book which truly intoxicates the senses. This is a unique creation which engulfed the history of our people...with her thorough research and clever choices Nurit Bat-Yaar succeeded in creating for the first time an album-book which includes all that is beautiful, glamorous and poetic in the Israeli fashion. ....All the designs of the book would come to life once again thanks to Nurit who brought to print a true glittering pearl from the past which we miss so much as well as up to date designs of new highly imaginative talents.... The great love for fashion art of the author who is known as the "first lady of fashion reporting and documenting" rises from this creation. ...She should be commended for her determination to publish this very unique creation to the glory of fashion in Israel. |
