and volatile colors add notes
of cheer to the gloomy winter
season." Important colors this
past winter were strong royal
purple, white, reds, oranges
and delicate pearly pink.
Ethnicity is in all over the
world, and in Israel this past
winter, said Cashman,
"clothing has become a kind
of United Nations, with
ethnicity borrowed from here
and there." Glorious yarns
and intricate designs, created
by computer technology, pick-
ed up the themes of Peruvian
and Scandinavian motifs in
Israeli knitwear by Gabi
Model, Dorina, and Mag in
two, three and four-piece
ensembles. Sweaters were
longer and shoulders con-
tinued to be boldly padded.
Soviet "glasnost" policy had
its effect upon Israeli fashion,
where Russian Cyrillic script
was emblazoned across
numeorus items in sport-
swear and knitwear.
Leatherwear, too, showed
sources of inspiration in tradi-
tional concepts of Russian
dress as worn by Tolstoyan
aristocracy.
This year pointed to ex-
treme differences in style, on
the international scene and
in Israel. Silhouettes ranged
from body hugging to
blouson, necklines could be
all revealing or concealing,
colors ranged from the
brightest brights to the palest
neutrals and fabrics included
sturdy denims and delicate
lace.
Israeli designers indulged
in dramatic and sassy sum-
mer creations inspired by the
opera: hooped flamenco
skirts, off the shoulder
necklines, boleros, frilly
sleeves. The Orient inspired
designers to create sarong
skirts, using opulent fabrics,
brilliantly colored taffetas
and wild silks.
Summer on the Israeli
fashion scene featured floral
prints, pastels and bright col-
ors; the summer palette em-
phasizing black, the palest
pastel lilac, yellow, bright red,
spice and hot pink. Short
shorts were out and
Bermuda-length shorts were
very much in, for both men
and women. Bathing suits
featured metallic prints and
rounded bodices. Colored
hoop earrings and ever-
widening belts were "in."
"The Orthodox woman in
Israel has a far better fashion
selection today than she did
several years ago," noted
Cashman. "There has been a
significant upgrading of
clothes with longer skirts,
long sleeves, not as tight."
In summer active wear, the
Olympic scene remained a
dominant theme.
