Special to The Jewish News
erusalem — "Israelis'
sense of fashion has im-
proved enormously,"
declared Greer Fay Cashman,
Israeli journalist and fashion
expert. "Not many years ago,
. Israeli manufacturers had a
policy of exporting their finest
collections, without trying
new fashions out on the local
market. lbday, goods are be-
ing released on the local
scene, and Israel has taken its
place as a world fashion
center. You just have to walk
down the street to see that
Israelis have become more
fashion conscious. Israeli men
used to be totally conser-
vative in their dress, whereas
today you can see men wear-
ing the brightest colors, the
wildest prints."
Ayala Raz directs the
department of fashion design
at the Shenkar College of rIbx-
tile and Fashion in Ramat
Gan. She is less impressed
with the development of
Israeli fashion consciousness.
"Israeli women have no self-
confidence when it comes to
clothes," she said ruefully.
"They will buy any outfit,
flattering or not, so long as
the saleswoman assures them
it is fashionable. I remember
seeing short, plump women
wearing wide belts when that

look was 'in' though they
looked awful."
"Israel cannot compete
with the cheap prices of
garments made in the Far
East," continued Raz. "In-
stead of seeking out ways to
produce ever cheaper goods,
Israeli manufacturers should
continue to seek out their-
niche as creators of original,
quality made items." Recent-
ly, Revlon sponsored a fashion
show at Shenkar, featuring
creations by students who
took as their sources of in-
spiration three aspects of
Israel: desert, sea and city.
This past winter, Israeli
designers passed up tradi-
tional winter fabrics favoring
instead linens, cottons,
denim, gabardines, jersey
ribs, polyester silks and satin
sheer viscose. "Summer-
weight fabrics have been
worn in winter in .America for
years, teamed with coats and
jackets in insulated fabrics,"
Cashman explained. Homes
and office buildings in Europe
and America are so well
heated that there is no longer
a need to wear heavy clothing
indoors. "Israeli manufac-
turers have finally caught up
to the fact that they need not
be locked into a dual season
concept."
"Israelis used to wear drab
colors through the winter,"
said Cashman. "Today, bright
