23.01.2022 As globalism continues to make inroads into all aspects of modern life, movements to preserve, collect, reignite and promote the traditions, artefacts and production methods of community groups now enjoy greater attention than ever before. How does globalism play out at grassroots level? How is this new phenomenon affecting high level of industry? . Maskit an Israeli fashion house founded in 1954 by Ruth Dayan (first wife of Moshe Dayan) and funded by the national governmen...t exemplifies fashion playing a crucial role in the social, economic, aesthetic and political life of a community. As Israel’s first fashion house, Maskit celebrated the traditional craftsmanship of Yemenite and North African embroidery and handicraft. The house was instrumental in providing work opportunities for new immigrants to the country. Once featured on Vogue covers and stocked in international luxury boutiques (Bergdorf Goodman, Browns, and more), Maskit fell into receivership following privatization in the 1980s. In 2013, the house was re-established by Sharon Tal, previously Head of Embroidery at Alexander McQueen. Tal shares the story of working alongside Maskit’s original founder, Dayan, to revive a luxury label that once brought Israel’s melting pot of ethnic styles to the wardrobes of fashion icons such as Audrey Hepburn.
