Celebrity gossip mongers TMZ caught Debra Messing at LAX airport dressed, well, casual would be the gentle way to put it.
But for some reason TMZ decided that Messing’s, “voluminous coral parachute shmata and head scarf,” somehow ended up, “looking like a Tel Aviv kibbutz farmhand.” Hmmm, not sure where I should begin with that really. A Tel Aviv Kibbutz? Not possible. A Tel Aviv farmhand? Can’t say that’s the latest trend being touted around these Tel Aviv streets.
So what to do? Get some real (good and exciting) Israeli fashion - and hope that Debra Messing will too.
1. Check out the real fashion forward of Tel Aviv and garner a street-wise impression of what we’re wearing. My favorite site Ilook was one of the first and is still the best street fashion photo blog from Tel Aviv. The interviews are in Hebrew but the photos are universal.
2. Read up in the Designist Dream archives for links and reviews of Israel’s current leading fashion designers, accessories and trends. Including some of my personal favorites like Sigal Dekel, Fishndag, and Shelley Leemor.

There’s an urban kibbutz in Tel Aviv. Although I can’t imagine Tel Avivi urban kibbutzniks farming anything other than…you know, the obvious.

An interesting theory dear Mykel. So maybe that’s what she was smoking, er, I mean picking off the kibbutz lawns with the other volunteers when she decided to purchase this outfit then.

maybe the ministry of tourism should invite the editors of tmz to come to tel aviv for a fashion piece of what israelis really do wear in an urban (urbane?) setting… as someone who used to pr for the mot , i’d have been all over that baby!
