Last summer, while scurrying around Tel Aviv for a feature on the city's lively design, music, and pop-culture scene, I managed to take a quick coffee break with Nimi Avigal (creator of iLook and the new London-centric StyleTube) to discuss the in's and out's of being Tel Aviv's sole street style blogger. Under a very sticky laurel tree on King George Street, we talked about the quirks of Israeli style, the lessons learned from his stint in the army, and how we're both unhealthily obsessed with online DIY marketplace, Etsy. Check out the full Q&A below with our favorite snaps from the blog. Also, don't miss our follow-up with the blogger - now prowling the streets of London for the city's most stylish Brits!
So, who’s worth taking a picture of? What’s your process?
"I just walk around; I see hundreds of people and just, whoever catches my eye... I don't look for anything specific; I just wait for something to jump out at me. It's mostly young people. In Israel, older people don't really go for a unique style; they stick to what's conservative".
