Fashion Illustration

As I was working toward my upcoming exhibition for Joya Barcelona jewelry design week, a dear friend of mine said " Hey, I can get you any model around the globe to model for your postcard"

it did sound like nice fiction, but then she just made it happened...

Yael Hertzog, B.O.D graduate of fashion design at "Shenkar" prestige fashion collage (2003), started her designing career from "Wizo France" high school at the department of fashion design.

During her studies at Shenkar, she chose to specialize in costume design for all Performing Arts. Since completing her studies, she designed costumes and set for some of the leading best artists and theaters all over the country.

Illustrating was a talent she began to develop on the early age of 4.
Since then through her career, illustration was always a great part of her work.
Since 2012, she leveraged her talent by taking advanced graphic courses and even developed a unique illustration technique on Photoshop
today she specializes in fashion illustration for designers, boutiques, and fashion houses all over the world. For clothing, accessories, shoes and jewelry, her services include: sketches and technical illustrations to a complete illustrated catalog or a magazine ad.

Fashion Trend Politics

תחזיות האופנה מושפעות ממה שקורה בגלובליזציה העולמית שלנו,

בתקופה של מלחמות נראה תחזיות המבשרות על התכנסות וביתיות וחזרה לחיק המשפחה

בתקופות של מודעות חברתית או אסונות טבע התחממות גלובלית וכן הלאה יפרוץ ביתר שאת חינו של המחזור והאקו שיק

חדירת האינטרנט לכל ממקום בחיינו הביאה את טרנד האקלקטיות האוסף מכל הבא ליד

בתקופות של מחסור נראה תחזיות של פחות זה יותר ושמירה על הקיים,האופנה ככללותה ריקנית עליזה ומלאת חיים ככל שתיראה לעיני חוץ הינה מושפעת לחלוטין מכל הסובב אותנו בכפר הגלובלי. 

Fashion forecasts are affected by what happens in the globalization of our world,

In times of war it seems to predict announcing convergence back to the bosom of family and home

During periods of social awareness or natural disasters such as global warming the eco chic and recycling trends rise up to our life and become our way of living.

Internet penetration to all forms of our lives has brought the eclectic traditions trend to our live.

And In times of shortage seems those predictions like less is more and maintaining the existing is getting stronger.

Empty and shallow as it pretend to be, merry and lively as it looks from the outside 

Fashion is completely influenced by all that happens around 

us in the global village

ולראייה תחזיות 2012 מדווחות על חומרים שונים ומגוונים להכנת תכשיטי אופנה

אנחנו הצרכנים נראה את זה במגוון אוצרות ותכשיטים אלטרנטיביים בחנויות רובנו לא יקשר את העובדה כי על רקע העלייה במחירי המזון,נפט כותנה ושאר משאבי העולם השונים נרשמה גם עלייה גדולה במחירי הזהב

בנוסף לזאת התערערות הדולר גרמה לאנשים לשוב להשקיע במטבע הראשוני בעולם הלא הם מטילי הזהב

עובדה שהקפיצה את מחירי הזהב  מחיר אונקיית הזהב עלה ב-200 דולר ב-3 חודשים

מחירי הזהב גוררים אחריהם את מחירי הכסף שאף הם האמירו עד מאוד.

וכך צצו במחוזותינו תכשיטי נייר וקרטון נפלאים,צמידי עץ משובצים אבנים יקרות,תכשיטי בדים חוטים וחבלים שעד כה ראינו רק בתליית וילונות.

שפע החומרים אינו בא על חשבון איכות תחכום ועיצוב כיון שגם ליצור תכשיטים מרגשים מחומרים אלטרנטיביים דורש מיומנות רבה ורמת גימור מהוקצעת

לדוגמה צמידי העץ הנפלאים שנתקלתי בהם בשיטוטי באטסי שנעשו בידי סלסט למברט אמנית דפוס ב-20 השנה האחרונות וצורפת מזה כ-5 שנים היוצרת את צמידי העץ שלה על ידי כיפוף פורנירים ונירוסטה,טכניקה אותה גילתה כאשר השתמשה בפורניר כמצע לעבודות הדפוס אותן יצרה

והנה גם קישור לחנות האטסי שלה

As a Witness, Predictions for 2011-2012 report of variety of materials for making fashion jewelry

we consumers see it in a variety of alternative jewelry treasures,

Most of us do not associate the fact that in light of higher food prices, oil, cotton and other various world resources also recorded a big rise in gold prices

Additionally weakening dollar has caused people to invest in non-primary currency such as gold bars.

The fact is that the jump in gold prices rose by $ 200 in 3 months

the rise of the gold prices brought a rise in silver sterling jewelry as well, as both metal are connected in the stock market.

In the Accessories forecast in returned appeared wonderful paper and cardboard jewelry, wooden bangles studded with precious stones, jewelry made of fabrics yarns and ropes that until now only seen by hanging curtains and textile bedding.

the Material wealth does not come at the expense of sophistication and design quality since that in order to create a fine jewelry from exciting alternative materials requires great skill and polished finish level

For example this beautiful wood bracelet that I came across during my traveling through Etsy shops By Celeste Lambert

she is a jewelry designer, living and working in Wellesley, Massachusetts (USA). Who earned a degree in Studio Art from Mount Holyoke College and have been working as a jeweler for the past five years and as a printmaker for nearly twenty years. As you can see in her web site www.celestelambert.com,

That features both of her mediums of work.  Interestingly, Celeste says that

"it was through printmaking that I initially recognized the opportunity in designing jewelry. I had collected some beautifully figured wood veneer with the intent of using it for a substrate for a printed image. I realized that the naturally occurring designs within the wood were so evocative that I shifted my thinking towards ways in which to showcase them. Today, my diverse lines of handcrafted bracelets are created through a process of steam-bending and layering wood veneer. As the jewelry collection has evolved, I have added stainless steel accents to complement the complexity and organic richness of the wood.  I believe that wood jewellery is becoming incredibly popular, not only because of the beauty of natural materials, but because society as a whole is becoming committed to eco-friendly fashion. I am inspired by early American Shaker design, as well as modern architecture, both of which help drive my design process."
