Life Who Cares What Hillary Clinton Wears?
Clothes may not make the man, but apparently they do make the woman. In America, it seems that no matter how successful, intelligent or high-ranking a woman is, she will ultimately be measured by her looks.

Life Israelis in Vogue
The September 2012 issue of Vogue marks the 120th anniversary of the publication.

Like all women, the Jewish Theological Seminary’s Carol Ingall, a professor of Jewish education, and Shuly Rubin Schwartz, a professor of American Jewish history and a dean, ask themselves “What to wear?” Their realization, after talking to female colleagues, of the pervasiveness of “this constant negotiation,” as Ingall puts it, led them to delve into…

The Schmooze Fashion, But No Statement
Crossposted from Haaretz Designer Yossi Katzav’s fashion show for his men’s fashion brand, Sketch, was an intimate affair.
