Elad Hoffman, almost 31 years old, is originally from Haifa who lives the essence of Tel Aviv in all its splendor and is proud to have a great theatrical style of life. He never studied styling professionally but thanks to natural talent and a good eye he progressed to become a Brazilian showcase designer, and now delivers vintage tours to his livelihood and the melody of his heart mainly because he most enjoys dressing women, making them smile and feel good in a garment.
When did you fall in love with fashion in general and vintage in particular?
"From childhood I wanted and loved fashion, but I lacked the means and also my mother always looked at fashion as something marginal and unimportant, all the more so when it came to a second vintage, she did not understand it. I drew inspiration and fashion for fashion mainly from magazines, and the vintage world I was exposed in my youth in general thanks to a good friend, who is an actress and a writer.I will not forget that we sat on her bed, I flipped through the magazine she gave me and lingered for long minutes on a specific page with a photo from a vintage production "And the first item I bought from the genre was a Zara second-hand garment, only that company made sure to point out that the goal was not to buy a second-hand item that was currently in a fast chain store or sale, but to look for the real 25+ year old vintage. It actually got me into it." .

"When I buy vintage, I know I'm buying quality, and even a piece of history sometimes," Hoffman adds.
I want to show how much fashion is, it's not just ecology.
It is true that the result is a purchase with a green agenda, but that is not the only reason why we buy vintage, which by the way can cost as much as a new item or more.
I think anything trendy and loving can also be found in vintage and second hand stores. "
Do you even buy" new "clothes or need fast fashion?
" Mostly underwear, socks and shoes because I have issues with the foot.
"Nowadays, 90% of my closet is vintage, and yet I even need to be more precise because I recently realized that I have commercial quantities of clothes and decided instead that it was time to say goodbye to a part."
There will be sequins too!

In what format do your tours take place?
"A year and a half ago I created these tours because I realized that the vintage world is not accessible at all. I am a human being of people and we do pan tours, but beyond what I teach in terms of concepts and periods and beyond the fun shopping experience, the goal is ultimately accurate. , Even a little shattering of the overall styling sayings we're so used to hearing. For example that one shape or color or another is not suitable for some women. ".

What is different about this event from marketers and vintage or second-hand sales events that take place in our districts?
"The event I am hosting is all about the purity of vintage, compared to other markets and fairs that also have a lot of second hand. I really want to bring quality above all else. The great news is that event attendees will get to see and measure many clothes and items from 14 authentic vintage stores. "From all over the country - from Tiberias, Jerusalem, Haifa, Ashkelon and more. People do not know that you can find vintage almost everywhere, if you are just open to it and are looking for it. Vintage and unique fashion exist not only in Tel Aviv."
There is no body or entity investing in the event, Hoffman realized will consume to a movement that he should do it himself.
At the level of gathering and choosing the stores and collectors to take part in the event, first and foremost it was important to him that these would be places he personally enjoyed purchasing from, that had good customer access, fine collectors with sufficiently affordable prices.
Some of them were easy for him to recruit, "and whoever I had to chase after, I just gave up on him" - he declares.

So what exactly awaits us at the Vintage Me Up event?
"The price range will be varied and comfortable, and everyone will be able to find what suits their pocket. The further back we go in the year of production, the more likely the garment will be priced higher, whether it is a mythical Israeli fashion house or a coveted brand. But most of the items offered For sale at the event will be accessible. There will be women's and men's clothing, from the 70s to 90s and in a variety of styles, as well as high fashion like a locker. It will also be possible to purchase and through the DJ who created a perfect period playlist. "
