The closing show of Israel's Fashion Week made a memorable, stimulating night full of nostalgia and fun. It was a night that celebrated two icons: Maskit, the recently-revved legendary fashion brand initially launched in 1954, and its founder, the extraordinary pioneer Ruth Dayan who celebrated her 97th birthday that night. All proceeds from the show went to the neonatal unit at the Sheba Medical Center, headed by my friend Dr. Tzipi Strauss.
During its days, Maskit was as an Israeli as falafel, is representing the melting pot that stood at the core of young Israel. It sought to fuse cultured, nationalities, and ethnicities of immigrants from various countries into one unified style. Maskit's myth came to play a distinctive role in Israeli history, representing the high-brow of the Israeli taste.
