Keffiyeh Dress - Kobi Fashion Studio
A shoulder strap dress, made of Keffiyeh fabric, 100% coton, with open bat sleeves. The fabric is sewn diagonally, with triangular additions on the dress's bottom. Small slits on the sides. Midi length. Designer's label.
Right after Six-Day War, Rojy Ben Yoseph, of Rikma Fashion House, began designing a collection of haute couture based on keffiyeh fabric. Ben Yoseph wished to connect the traditional Arab garment to the western fashion, hoping to form a bridge between cultures and promote peace in the Middle East.
The collection, spearheaded by the keffiyeh dress, caused a stir, and was popular among Israeli high-class women in the late 1960s and early 1970s. The success inspired other designers to explore the keffiyeh. One such effort is the keffiyeh dress offered here. Size 42. Very good condition. Slightly worn.
