Why Israel's Bridal Elite Refuse
to Be Hemmed In
By Tracy Moran
Israeli designers are selling in upscale
boutiques in Los Angeles, New York,
London and Moscow.
Fashion runway shows have been
known to fall flat, thanks to trips, slips
and the exposure of a whole lot more
than just a hip. But Susan Glick knew
she had it sewn up before the first strut
at her recent show, and she basked in a
positive vibe as the lights dimmed and
the music began. “I just knew we were
going to deliver,” the vice president of
women’s apparel at Merchandise Mart
says, as she aimed to help her New York
City audience embrace a group of bold
new bridal designers.
Success, many say, is down to two
big “I”s: the Internet and Israel’s
innovative spirit. “We became global
just by social media,” says Hod, who
attributes her success to Instagram,
Pinterest and Facebook. The designer
tells a story similar to the others’, of
brides-to-be seeing designs online
and asking about her at overseas
wedding boutiques and then being
contacted by the buyers, which helped
Hod’s business grow organically, and
virally. Some say this shift also has to
do with the way women dress these
days, whether it’s the sheer bodices
of Mira Zwillinger, the sultry styles of
Inbal Dror or the plunging backs of
industry veteran Galia Lahav. “They like
to look more feminine and sexy,” says
Hanna Kamionski, director of business
development for consumer products at
the Israel Economic Mission.
Glick is referring to her first-ever
collaboration presenting 10 up-andcomers at the New York International
Bridal Week, at Pier 94, in a show that
reflected an explosive new bridal trend:
the rise of Israeli stars. Refusing to be
hemmed in, designers from the Jewish
state like Inbal Dror, Lihi Hod, Galia
Lahav and Berta Balilti have recently hit
the global marketplace in stride, seeing
sales climb considerably in the past few
years. Chasing a piece of what in the
U.S. alone is a $4 billion annual bridal
store trade, according to IBISWorld, top

Had a Very Instagram-Worthy
Wedding
by Allyson Payer
Vogue-featured weddings are admittedly irresistible to us (see here,
here, and here). The bride’s dress is always incredible, the table settings
are beautiful and immaculate, and the photography is top-notch. The
recent Napa Valley wedding of Instagram co-founder and CEO Kevin
Systrom and bride Nicole Schuetz was no exception. Schuetz donned a
stunning strapless lace gown for the ceremony before changing into an
equally stunning ’20s-inspired Lihi Hod gown for the masquerade ball–
themed reception, fitting for the Halloween date. Among the attendees
for the glamorous wedding was Karlie Kloss, wearing a gorgeous pearllined black gown. Click below to see a glimpse of the stylish wedding,

3 Reasons Lihi Hod Is the
Bridal Designer Everyone’s
Buzzing About
By Kim Fusaro July 8, 2015
Everyone who knows anything about
wedding dress design has had one
name on their lips lately: Lihi Hod. The
Israeli-born designer, who worked
under John Galliano at Christian Dior,
is turning out head-turning wedding
dresses that feel fashion-forward while
still giving the “bridal” part its proper
due. (At the end of the day, pretty
much any gown could technically work
for a wedding, but a bride should look
the part.) Here are three reasons Lihi
has the wedding world buzzing.
3) Crop Tops and Sexy Backs That
Won’t Make You Feel Naked
There are some gowns for the bride
who wants to get thisclose to flashing
her butt crack, but for the most
part, these are dresses you’d feel
comfortable wearing while dancing
with your dad.
The brand is carried stateside at
Gabriella New York, or you can order
directly through the company by
emailing sales@lihihod.com.
1) Delicate, Ultrafeminine Bodices
The lines on these dresses are
phenomenal, and the detail work is
beyond breathtaking.
2) Playful Silhouettes
There are plenty of traditional
shapes—sheaths and fit-to-flare gowns
galore—but we’re most drawn to her
boundary-pushing silhouettes.

How to Wear Those Barely
There Wedding Dresses
By ELEANOR STANFORDOCT. 18, 2015
When it comes to a wedding dress, how
little is too much?
From Our Advertisers
For the couple’s Greek Orthodox
ceremony in Greenlawn, N.Y., she wore
a more traditional gown with flowing
fabric by J. Mendel. But for the Catholic
marriage blessing ceremony two days
later, at Oheka Castle in Huntington,
N.Y., she wore a heavily beaded dress
by the Israeli designer Lihi Hod. She
liked its plunging back, with matching
low-cut front, sheer panels and
semitransparent arms. She said it felt
natural to wear the racier number for
the second ceremony.
On the bridal catwalks for fall
2016, transparency wound its way
from necklines and sleeves to the
sides, fronts and backs of gowns.
Some dresses were almost entirely
transparent. Those choosing to wear
one of these more risqué designs will
have to plan carefully.
This injection of sexy on the catwalks
may reflect today’s more open-minded
approach to the institution of marriage.
But in the end, she decided she wanted
something more conventional for
the ceremony after all. “I wasn’t sure
if I wanted that sexy of a dress in a
picture that would last forever, that
my grandchildren would be seeing,”
she said. So she wore that Zwillinger
dress to the rehearsal dinner and a less
revealing Ines Di Santo gown with a
mermaid cut for the wedding.
dresses with detachable skirts, she also
suggested having an overskirt in tulle
or silk organza made as an addition to
dresses dominated by transparency.
Another option for adding modesty
to a dress with transparent sections is
donning a long veil for the ceremony
and removing it for the reception, said
Julie Sabatino from the Stylish Bride,
a wedding fashion stylist in New York.
In a nod to the popularity of bridal

the company by emailing sales@lihihod.
com.
Nevertheless, even in the face of this
zest for skin-hugging, barely there
fabrics, full voluminous skirts were seen
in collections by Marchesa and Naeem
Khan.
Sarah Dihmes, 32, tried on almost 100
wedding dresses before her September
2014 wedding on the Amalfi Coast in
Italy. “I wanted something sexy to show
off my curves,” she said. “It feels very
conservative to be all in white.”
As they prepare for their glamour
moment, many brides appear to be
taking their cues directly from the red
carpet.
Although Kristin DeJohn, 32, said she
was “going for glamorous right off the
bat” — having been inspired by the
sleek chic of Jennifer Lopez’s redcarpet style — she ended up with two
dresses for her marriage in September
last year.
She admired the way Israeli designers
incorporated nude-colored fabric into
their designs, and fell in love with a
strapless Mira Zwillinger dress, which
fell to an inch above her knees and had
nude fabric peeking out from heavy
lace and flowers.
Kristin DeJohn chose a heavily beaded Lihi Hod dress for her marriage blessing.

The Bridal Designer That
Actually Made Me Like Wedding
Dresses
by Kat Collings
Click through to check out some of
Hod’s designs and don’t miss the longsleeve lace Sophia dress—it’s the one
that won over previously bridal-blind
heart.
Between working in fashion and
spending an inordinate amount of
time on Pinterest—where the wedding
images are as plentiful as Audrey
Hepburn quotes—I’ve been exposed
to a large swath of wedding dress
designs. And while I think many of
them are pretty, I never had the intense
squealing-with-delight reaction to
a bridal gown as I did to say these
Margiela tapestry boots or this silk
Thakoon S/S 15 robe dress. I figured
when I do get married some day I’d
source a vintage gown or perhaps
go for a non-bridal white dress from
one of my favourite designers. That
is until my colleague Nicole Kleist,
casually g-chatted me a photo of a Lihi
Hod wedding gown. Hod is an Israeli
designer who was approached after
design school by John Galliano to work
with him in Paris at Dior. She now has
her own line that feels within the realm
of classic bridal style, but is touched
with a fashion-forward aesthetic that
immediately resonated with me.

Intricate beading, beautiful lacework,

While she has those iconic silhouettes
and super sexy details that are so

Aren’t they gorgeous? I love how some are really pretty and playful and others are

Film Noir in White Bridal
Collection
“Film Noir in White” is the title of Lihi
Hod’s latest bridal collection, and we’re
pretty sure it’s one collection that will
drive many you into a pinning frenzy.
Inspired by femme fatales and screen
legends of Film Noir, the Spring 2015
Lihi Hod bridal collection, combines the
sex appeal and elegance of the 1940s
and 1950s, evoking the glitz, glamour
and brightest stars of the golden age of
Hollywood.
The designs feature a unique
combination of lace, embroidery
and pearl beading, with a play on
chiaroscuro, translucency and volume,
achieved through masterful draping
and cuts, all hallmarks of Hod’s design.
For details, visit Lihi Hod.
In her journey of inspiration for the
new spring bridal collection, Lihi
Hod has crafted her own take on
Hollywood’s golden age, a return to
the 1940s with its legendary stars such
as Rita Hayworth and Lauren Bacall. “I
found myself gravitating towards the
glamorous and dramatic decade of Film
Noir,” says Hod, “… like in those movies,
my collection highlights the image of a
woman who is an eternal femme fatale:
delicate and refined, yet powerful and
impressive.”

Bridal Style: Lihi Hod – Spring
Summer 2014 Collection
By Boho
Today I would like to introduce you
to a beautiful collection of wedding
dresses from Lihi Hod. Lihi Hod is
from Israel and has worked with such
big names as John Galliano. Her new
collection, inspired by vintage jewelry, is
a beautiful collection of Boho inspired
designs mixed with smooth silhouette
and lots of bridal glamour. I love this
collection, so many beautiful details full
of lovely lace and gleaming jewels.
“Try to imaging that moment when you
open an old jewelry box” Lihi explains.
“You might discover an exceptional
collection shining and glimmering,
full of depth and sensitively crafted.
I wanted to recreate this moving
moment through my dresses. To turn
them into jewelry in their own right”.
For over a year Hod collected textiles
from around the globe to use in the
new collection, aspiring to create a
rich and diverse look for each dress
in the collection. Depth is created
by combining layers of opaque and
transparent fabrics such as silk chiffons
and tulles with a variety of laces. The
color palette ranges from gleaming
whites to cream to nudes. Swarovski
crystals, glass beads and gemstones
were used in true couture techniques.
Hours of embroidering to the layers of
supple fabric resulted in a harmonious
look, resembling the jewelry the
designer had dreamed of. The result – A
collection of unique, flattering dresses,
embodying a nonchalant, delicate
boho-chic look.
The dresses all incorporate body suits
“For me, each bride is her own world.
Every bride has her special fantasy,
desire and dream. For me, the process
of creating the bridal gown is like
making dreams become reality. Every
bride receives our full attention
and every process of designing and
creation leads to a dress that is truly
one of a kind.”

or shapers that provide a contemporary
look and allow for narrow silhouettes
and flattering low cut backs.
Lihi’s dresses, ever in tune with current
fashions, include this season two superhot pieces: A maxi skirt, paired with a
trendy midriff-revealing cropped top,
and
an embroidered ensemble consisting of
pants and a light tank top.
About Lihi
Lihi Hod was born and raised in Tel
Aviv, and fashion design has always
been an integral part of her life. She
draws her inspiration from all aspects
of the fashion industry, as well as her
own experience with leading fashion
brands abroad. Lihi attended Shenkar
College of Engineering and Design
in Israel. While there, her talent was
recognized as outstanding and she was
invited to an internship in New York to
work at the famous fashion house of
the American designer, Elie Tahari. Lihi
was approached by legendary fashion
designer John Galliano. She received
an offer to work with him in Paris, and
immediately after graduation, Lihi
spent several months in John Galliano’s
fashion house, Dior. She specialized
in developing the details of the haute
couture department under the brand.

Israeli designer Lihi Hod does vintage bohemian elegance
like no other. Her wedding dresses always exude a glamorous
“jenesaisquoi” that just can’t be duplicated. The designer
recently launched her 2015 collection entitled “Film Noir in
White”- a title perfectly suited for her vintage old Hollywood
aesthetic . I’m going to let the pictures do the talking.

Lihi Hod 2015 “Film Noir In
White” Bridal Gowns
by Polka Dot Bride | Bridal Fashion, Bride
Straight out of Tel Aviv is the stunning
work of designer Lihi Hod. Having
worked with some of the best design
houses in the world, including Christin
Dior and Eli Tanhari, her 2010 launch of
her own bridal label led to a beautiful
combination of her knowledge and
love of French styling combined with
modern trends.
The 2015 “Film Noir In White” collection
is equally as stunning as it is beautifully
crafted. Inspired by film legends like
Rita Haywood and Lauren Bacall of
the 1940s and 1950s, Lihi sought
to blend modern trends and styling
with the eternal. classical femininity
of the film noir era. Rich textures are
brought to life with stunning fabrics
and embellishments – lace, embroidery
and pearl beading all featuring heavily
throughout her collection. There is a
sense of sophistication and glamour to
her work, while still keeping a feeling of
relaxed beauty.
Lihi Hod ships to Australia by request.
