Sudden Infant Theft Syndrome
The Yemenite, Balkans and Orient Children Affair refers to the kidnapping
and disappearance of thousands of babies and toddlers in the early years of the state of Israel.
The destruction and loss experienced by the designer’s family and personal story
are intertwined with this emotional and painful design collection.
The collection portrays the mother’s shattering experience through each set of clothing,
underscoring the realization that the same hands that delivered the baby
are those that tore it away from its mother.
The collection combines handmade knits from recycled knits and sequins which were
created by laser cut from remnants of plastic with light fabrics that create variable volumes.
