Biography

I am a dress historian, curator, author, and educator. With over a decade of experience as a fashion designer working commercially, I have built a full-rounded knowledge of the contemporary fashion world rooted in historical perspective.

My interests include 19^th, 20^th, and 21^st century fashion; retail history in New York; the American photographer Alice Austen; history of photography; gender and identity performance; museum theory and practice; Israeli fashion; and the history of the luxury brand Gottex which was the topic of my MA thesis paper, two exhibitions I curated, and an upcoming documentary film I co-created. I am continuously expanding my interests; I research and write on fashion and its history, using it as a window to history in a broader social and cultural contexts.
