ABOUT Shahar's:
I am Shahar Geller, a 26-year-old fashion design student at Shenkar College, based in the vibrant city of Tel Aviv. From a young age, I have been captivated by the world of fashion, seeing it not just as clothing but as a powerful form of self-expression and social commentary.
My journey into fashion began with a deep-seated belief that the clothes we wear are a reflection of our individuality. This belief has driven me to pursue a career in fashion design, and my education at Shenkar College has been instrumental in shaping my approach and honing my skills. Shenkar, renowned for its rigorous and innovative fashion program, has provided me with a solid foundation in both the technical and creative aspects of fashion design.
I am a visionary individual who breathes fashion. My passion for fashion is rooted in the belief that each person's individuality should be expressed through the clothes they wear.
My designs are intended to empower the person wearing them, regardless of their gender or religion. I believe that fashion is an opportunity for social progress and that there is a growing trend toward gender-fluid clothing, which I intend to continue to develop.
In my design philosophy, I strive to create thought-provoking designs that challenge the status quo. My designs are not meant to slip straight down the throat, but rather take a few seconds to digest. Through my designs, I aim to convey a deeper meaning, one that speaks to the essence of the individual. To me, this is what is truly beautiful about fashion - the ability to tell a story that transcends time.
Throughout my studies, I have worked on several projects that embody my commitment to innovative and inclusive fashion. One of my notable projects involved creating a collection that blended traditional tailoring with modern, fluid silhouettes, challenging conventional notions of gender in fashion. This collection was inspired by the dynamic streets of Tel Aviv, where diverse cultures and lifestyles intersect, providing a rich tapestry of inspiration.
My work is heavily influenced by iconic designers who have pushed the boundaries of fashion, such as Alexander McQueen and Rei Kawakubo. Their fearless experimentation and dedication to their unique visions inspire me to continually evolve my style and approach.
Looking ahead, my goal is to establish my own fashion label that champions diversity and inclusivity. I want to create pieces that are not only visually stunning but also meaningful and reflective of the wearer's identity. Winning this fashion design competition would be a significant step towards achieving this dream, providing a platform to showcase my vision to a broader audience.
A defining moment in my journey was when I first saw the impact of my designs on individuals. Seeing someone wear my creation and feel more confident and true to themselves reinforced my belief in the transformative power of fashion. It is these moments that fuel my passion and drive me to innovate continuously.
In conclusion, I am committed to pushing the boundaries of fashion and creating designs that empower and inspire. Thank you for considering my work, and I look forward to contributing to the ever-evolving landscape of fashion.
