My name is Lilach Eliyahu, I'm 28 years old. I was born and raised in Israel but now I'm living in Barcelona. I grew up in a family that moved a lot because of my father's work. All of those transitions were not an easy thing for a young girl but at the same time they were an educator. Thanks to that I got to meet many different people, habits and ways of living and thus, formed the theme of my final project. I believe my childhood memories and events turned out to be a major influence on the person I am today.
2. Tell us a little bit about the concept behind your collection?
My inspiration is a childhood memory. When I was a little girl my family and I moved a lot, from the city to the suburbs and even to the Kibbutz. All of those transitions left me with the feeling that I don't have a clear nostalgia. In my collection I use parts of dolls’ and little girls’ dresses. Although the collection looks very colorful and sweet, when you take a closer look you can see that it is not as sweet as it seems. The collection demonstrates the dialogue between the child, the new woman and her old doll. I used knit, quilt, chiffon, silk and other fabrics from the child's world.
