She is 23 years old, lives in Jerusalem, is married and in her 3rd year of a double degree in Law and Economics. “From a young age I have thought that fashion and style are expressed not only in clothes but also in art," says Alona Magzimoff, a personal stylist and content producer at Instagram. "I have always been attached to fashion, style and the aesthetics of architecture and interior design. When I studied makeup with Natasha Danona, I went to fashion shows and studied every new designer store that opened. Now, the big dream is to produce special, big fashion shows and productions".
The item that I am most attached to emotionally or there is an interesting story behind it:
As a relatively fresh married woman, my custom-made bridal gown is the item I am most attached to. I created it with a tailor after much deliberation, the end result was beyond expectations.
I will never wear:
The bandanas that have returned to fashion, I cannot see the beauty of it.
Fashionable weakness?
Oversize sweaters, as large as possible, of all kinds of fabrics and of all colors, and of course headscarves.
Good shopping advice:
Only alone and in places not crowded with people, this is probably why I will never be able to buy at Sale.
A must-have item in every Fashionista's closet?
A small, classic black dress.
How many pairs of glasses?
15 including my sunglasses
How many pairs of jeans?
10, I wear more tailored pants and these are often hard to find
The oldest item in the closet?
My grandmother's cardigan, the most vintage and stunning item I have in the closet.
The most expensive item in the closet?
A coat I bought in a boutique store in Milan.
Online shopping, yes or no?
It's always fun but I'm still in favor of the physical shopping experience, especially as I always like to try on the sizes.
Favorite color?
Gray in all its shades.
Network / Brand / Designer Beloved in Israel or abroad?
COS
One item I would take to an island?
Sunglasses.
Recommended book:
Unfortunately, I do not read often but it is definitely something that needs to be adopted. However, I have piles of different fashion magazine.
Preferred leisure time?
On the sofa in front of the television, with a blanket and a cup of tea (must give justification to those who say I am an old soul).
Destination for the perfect vacation?
Italy, perfect from the south to the north.
Beloved season of the year?
Winter of course, addicted to the layers and winter atmosphere.
