From traditional garments with deep-rooted significance to modern, cutting-edge designs, Israeli fashion blends the old with the new.

Tallit Shawl

A quintessential piece of traditional Jewish clothing, the “Tallit” prayer shawl, has found its way into contemporary Israeli fashion. Designers have reimagined this sacred garment, transforming it into a stylish accessory that adds a touch of heritage to any outfit. Whether draped over the shoulders or creatively incorporated into clothing, the Tallit has become a symbol of cultural pride and modern elegance.

Kippah

Designers have turned this religious accessory into a chic headpiece, blending tradition with modern aesthetics. With its intricate embroidery and bold patterns, Kippah has become a statement piece, showcasing the seamless integration of religious heritage into contemporary fashion.

Shtreimel

Shtreimel is a fur headwear worn by Jewish men, particularly those who are the members of Hasidic Judaism, on Shabbat and Jewish holidays and other festive occasions. It was adapted by Jews living in Europe as a warm winter hat, inspired by nobility. Shtreimel is comparable in construction to fur hats historically worn by nobles or gentiles across Europe and Russia.

Tzitzit

Tzitzit are specially knotted ritual fringes, or tassels. In the Torah God commands the Hebrews to attach tzitzit to the four corners of their garments to remind them of the commandments of the Torah.

Tefillin

Tefillin, a set of small black leather boxes containing scrolls of parchment inscribed with verses from the Torah. Tefillin are put on by adult Jews for weekday morning prayers, and are worn on the forehead and upper arm.

Bedouin Textiles

Israeli fashion often pays homage to the Bedouin culture, incorporating their distinctive textile patterns into modern designs. Flowing dresses adorned with bold geometric motifs, inspired by Bedouin garments, are a common sight in Israeli wardrobes. These pieces not only reflect the country’s cultural diversity but also tell a story of heritage and craftsmanship.

Casual-Chic Dresses

Flowy dresses are a staple in Israeli street fashion, offering a perfect blend of comfort and style. These dresses are often adorned with vibrant patterns and floral tones, providing a relaxed yet sophisticated look that suits the warm climate of cities like Tel Aviv.
