I’m styling a show for the Way In department at Harrods and I’m using hosiery from Tabio. They have so many cute sock accessories like these little bows! You just never expect socks to have their own accessories!
I mainly wear dresses so tights are such a huge part of my wardrobe, and a good pair of tights can make your outfit. I’ve been a big fan of Gal Stern Tights so I’m quite happy that you can now find them at Wolf & Badger, 46 Ledbury road, Notting Hill.
I’m addicted to American Apparel. I was given a pink classic girl t-shirt about eight tears ago – it became my favourite t-shirt and I still have it. I mainly wear dresses so tights are an essential part of my wardrobe, and I’m dying to get these Micro-Mesh Two-Sided Leggings.
I love tights. I mainly wear dresses and shorts so tights are an essential part of my wardrobe. I also think you can make an every day look into something glamorous or edgy with a cool pair of tights. I’m loving gold at the moment!
I was recently chatting with Gal Stern, a textile designer from Israel with a great collection of tights!
Could you tell me how you got started?
SG – I finished my studies of textile design in Shenkar High College of Design in Israel 6 months ago. In my final project i developed the tights. I loved the experiments at the printing workshop in college and got great reviews for my work and so I decided to make a business out of it and opened my own studio.
Does any of your family work in fashion?
GS -My mom is a real crafts woman. She knits, embroiders, draws, sculpture in ceramic and glass and more, so I guess I got this passion from her.
Did you always love fashion?
GS – I must admit i didn’t always like fashion…I think my love of fashion started in highschool. The body changes and the fashionable highschool I went to made me notice fashion for the first time.
Do you have a favourite pair or collection?
GS – I can’t say I have one favorite model … In many of the models, I hand painted every inch of scale before converting to the computer for manipulations. So they were all born with extra care and love…
What inspires you?
GS – My inspiration comes from my passion of shapes and colors and the way they convert and mix with each other. I can find these shapes everywhere – a beautiful painting, nature, or on the street.
Where do you have everything made?
GS – The tights are made especially for me (since it’s my development) by a Turkish factory. I then dye them and print on them with many printing techniques. The entire process is made in my studio.
Where can people buy them?
GS – At the moment people can buy my tights in Israel or through my website, by sending me an e-mail. Since my business is very young, I’m only starting to expand to other countries. I hope that soon I can begin to sell online.
I do like leggings, I know most fashionistas like to hate them and they’re so 80’s but they’re so easy to wear and they’re just not going to go away. For spring lots of leggings were seen on the catwalk – think Threeasfour, Viktor & Rolf and Alexander McQueen. Lots of bold and graphic prints. American Apparel has a great selection starting at £22 and the Scandinavian label Nümph has some nice bright colours for £25.
