Comme Il Fautby Tallie Lieberman | 22.09.16
Gender norms and body types, social boundaries,
conventions and expectations – such is the stuff of
revolution and the fabric of Comme Il Faut’s Fall/Winter
2016 collection, Measure Me Not.
“We drew inspiration from brave women who are today
going against the grain,” Comme Il Faut CEO and Founder
Sybil Goldfainer told Telavivian at the fashion show
launch of the new line. “We looked to female freedom
fighters in Syria, to women here in Israel who are fighting
against discrimination. This year, more than ever, Comme

and tailored jacket with massive removable hood – and in
the general fixation with exponentially layering fabrics to
shield the feminine figure from prying eyes (and hands).

Rather than reconcile or mediate between
“contradictions”, between the masculine and the feminine,
the traditional and the modern, the military and the
civilian, the new collection gives expression to the self

She may wear a nearly effervescent transparent dress, but
only over a high turtleneck and stiff cigarette pants; she
may don an oversized men’s coat, but one adorned with
exquisite embroidery, and she may slip into a fulllength,
monochromatic sweaterdress simply because it oozes
comfort and does not (repeat, does not) cling to her figure.
Feathers speckle stiff wool; velvet softens the hard
masculine lines of a blazer; the “little black dress” sprouts
