Special fashion shoot in Israel, celebrating 30 years of Israel-India ties with a capsule collection by Sahil…
To celebrate 30 years of Israel-India diplomatic relations, the Embassy of Israel in India collaborated with Indian designer Sahil Kochhar to showcase a special collection for both men and women inspired by the beautiful landscapes of Israel.
This project is part of a campaign titled Yachad – a Hebrew word meaning ‘together’, where Israeli Embassy diplomats and designer Sahil Kochhar from India came together to share their experiences. For this campaign, Sahil Kochhar and his team spent several months scouting talents from Israel who are the best at their craft. The models that were selected were not just professional models but also included local talent from all over Israel, says Sahil, including the younger generation from different walks of life, athletes, artists, surfers & the parkour community of the country.
Yachad, which means coming together, is the essence behind my collection. It is a celebration of 30 years of friendship between Israel and India. This collection and campaign we have shot around Dead Sea, Eilat, Gan Hashlosha, Tel Aviv & Jerusalem, is very special to me as it represents two beautiful cultures coming together. The collection is inspired by the diverse landscapes of Israel, incorporating the same as artwork on the clothes.”
Whilst, the Ambassador of Israel to India H.E. Naor Gilon says, “This is a first-of-its-kind project which we hope will open doors for future possibilities and collaborations between the people of Israel and India in the diverse fields of culture, fashion and lifestyle. Showcasing Indian designs inspired by Israeli landscapes led to this beautiful project called Yachad, which has further strengthened the close friendship and growing partnership between our two nations.”
