Naomi Maaravi believes nothing can go to waste, not even a story. While recycled materials form the warp and woof of her garments, her personal stories and memories add the finishing touch. Following her father’s footsteps, who reused every article in the house to create something new, Naomi recycles materials to weave new ensembles, weave new stories. Naomi is presently based in Israel, I had the rare opportunity to interview her online and get some insights into the eco fashion industry. It’s an overstated word, but Naomi’s story is truly unique. She shares it here with us. I believe my abode is in my body, and I live life wherever it takes me. To begin with, I am a Dutch designer. Having studied fashion and textile in the Netherlands, I consider it to be my fatherland. Israel, on the other hand, is my motherland. I have flourished as a designer and grown as a human being here. My journey spans from Holland to Israel via Milan and Paris. Truly speaking, my passion has guided me through all aspects of work and life.
