How To Wear Cool Florals
With a touch of late ’30′s German expressionism, my favorite way to wear the floral look has nothing to do with soft romanticism. Black kohl eyes, a defined lip and brow, a hint of surrealist mind games is what floral prints are about now. Photo by Frances Tulk Hart.

Tel Aviv For L-Atitude
Curator and photographer Gaby Ron was born and raised in Tel Aviv in 1982. Having recently graduated from Creative Practice for Narrative Environments MA from Central Saint Martins in London, her work with partner Sari Golan Sarig (below right) is focused on ‘Art Residencies in Areas of Conflict’. Her new venture, a ‘Pelia’, (which means a female form of active, activist; active member, or enthusiastic) is a non-profit organization based in Tel Aviv-Jaffa offering an innovative approach to the production and exhibition of art. Peila’s agenda is based on interaction with the local communities and other non-profits in Tel Aviv and Jaffa along with similar organizations around the world. Peila operates, side-by-side, a residency program allowing cultural operators (artists, curators, designers etc) both local and from around the world, to relate to the fascinating and controversial Israeli reality from a first hand experience. “Art as a means of communication” physically involves communities in hands-on experiences of art and culture making and art exhibiting. Best of all, it’s new workspace is in the heart of the Jaffa flea market. Shalom!
Musical Style Notes
Brilliant Color
Bright colors glow with confidence when mixed with smart tailored silhouettes as seen on Caroline Issa during fashion week. The hard part for me is identifying a palette before I invest. I love every color but my skin tone is golden olive. A blessing for sure but certain shades of pink are too blue to flatter and just look loud unless tempered with orange or violet. Oddly, I find neon shades (including Shaparelli’s Le Shocking) easy to pull off. Colors in the red-pink-purple family work extra hard on the street and in the office but do require an upbeat attitude ready to handle the inevitable flood of attention.
Spring Cleaning
Keeping our home free of clutter is an art form and a demanding part-time job. When my husband and I moved into a 670 sq ft luxury glass tower building in Hudson Yards, we were concerned about space so possessions big and small went straight to Housing Works without ceremony. With golden light pouring in from every angle, I rejoice daily at the magical power of minimalism. And I do not miss one item that got tossed (in my case about 80 per cent of my belongings.)
