Gidi Littman

My name is Gidi Littman, and I am a third-year fashion design student at Shenkar College. I was born and raised on a kibbutz in northern Israel, surrounded by vast nature, agriculture, and community life: elements that continue to shape who I am today as both a designer and a person. Nature holds a central place in my work, where it appears in various forms and representations, from plants and animals to aesthetic principles and design inspirations. Fashion and clothing have accompanied me since childhood, and they are also reflected in my design practice as both a childhood memory and a future aspiration. I focus on menswear that moves along the line between conservatism and tradition, and individualism and self-expression. My design work emphasizes natural materials such as leather, wool, and cotton, stemming from my love for natural materials and for the qualities and meanings they embody. Through the combination of inspiration, material, and color, I explore questions of masculinity, aesthetics, and nature.
