1. HOW LOW CLASS
(07.24.07)
2. All Israeli Models are Ugly
Stephen ,   Washington, DC   (07.24.07)
also notice how its only very light women that they show. as an ashkenazi i can tell you that if you want the most beautiful light women, you go to Sweden, not Israel. however if you want the hottest tanned women, you go to South America or Israel. Israel should stop this nonsense of trying to imitate its europe in "whiteness" and instead play to its strengths. Otherwise you end up with this, which is just very average white girls. sad
3. Why nous n'avons pas les memes valeurs
cordier ,   Paris   (07.24.07)
Why nous n'avons pas les memes valeurs. Some of these women are a little bit skeletons and the men look like homosexuals we say that in fench "effeminés"... Their clothes are "too much" (too much small, too much decorated, too much colored...) and are not useful, i think you can t be well inside them. for example if there is some wind or it is a cold night i doubt that Galit in the second picture is well protected. In the first picture i think that with the sun you have in israel and the skin she have she must have a great skin protection cream.... In my opinion it is not fashion it is "n'importe quoi". Clothes must serve men to be well "à l'aise" not men serve clothes and the clothing industry wearing shirts too small by example just because "celebrities" (not known for their intellectuals "prouesse") do that...
4. Stephen is 100% right; Israel's forte is the tanned Med look
Jake   (07.24.07)
The pale blonde Israeli supermodels are a dime a dozen in Sweden. But the tanned 'exotic' Mediterranean types in Israel are particularly beautiful. Also, who are these wimpy looking guys in the photos? Whatever happened to macho, confident Sabra look? Welcome to the Olmert era, I guess.
5. #9 What a difference a smile makes!
BeachBum ,   Israel   (07.24.07)
#9 Hila looks like she's not feeling well in the top picture, while looking fantastic with a smile in the second picture. Just goes to show how "looks" can vary depending on light and facial expression.
6. drek mit pfeffer!
naro ,   nyc   (07.24.07)
7. If I saw these petz in Montreal..I'd ask them for
Al   (07.24.07)
shlook. (A Drag on a Marijuana cig) This is the dreck that is the new hip Israeli?
8. There are most certainly much prettier girls in Israel
tFighterPilot   (07.24.07)
As a soldier, a jobnik one, I see a lot of girls, many of which I would put above the aformentioned women. I personally don't see anything attractive in blond hair, but that's just me I suppose.
9. The girls are pretty, the clothing is tacky
Carrie   (07.24.07)
10. how many did army service?
(07.24.07)
11. Natalie Portman??????????????
Don   (07.24.07)
Natalie Portman is the most adorable Israeli female to ever exist, why she is not on the list is quite beyond me
12. #1
(07.24.07)
100% !
13. yuck, all these people are unattractive
roni   (07.24.07)
and galit gutman has had more plastic surgery than all of them combined (gil riva included). Her face looks so streched... how is that attractive or chic?? if a guy that looked like zion baruch or ivri lider would ever hit on me, based on looks I would reject them immediately. there are by far better looking israelis, both men and women, walking down the street
14. correction # 6
germaine   (07.25.07)
Drek mit Leber
15. Portman's not on the list because she's got real class!!!!
(07.25.07)
This list is the sad provincial product of some bored media idiot who realizes that we are about to hit the August doldrums and so he/she are attempting to drum up a little interest. Real question is how many of these beautiful people skipped out of army service?
16. Tacky, Tacky, Tacky!
Charles Allen ,   Charlotte, NC USA   (07.25.07)
These photos belong with an article titled "What NOT to Wear" In other words it puts the UG in ugly
17. If these are our 'men' then Gd help us
yawning ,   Israel   (07.25.07)
I think the writer hates men, so gave us these twerps. Girls look a mess, G. Gutman has to look as tho' she's yanking her clothes off, in order to compete with a (fake?) Prada bag? ?? Sad, very sad. They all look like the drunk and sloppy looking rubbish on 2nd back page of yediot every day. To see it here is even more of an embarassment, but your main aim is to cheapen us and our image, ynet, and you succeed big time.
18. r u kidding me! Where is the "chic"?!?
Ronit ,   Tel Aviv & DC   (07.25.07)
19. #17 Don't worry--they are all your 'women'!
(07.25.07)
BWAHAHAHAHAHAHAH!!!!
20. Israeli girls are more attractive than Swedish girls.
(07.25.07)
I've been to Sweden and the women are all blonde and plastic looking. I don't find that attractive at all. Give me an exotic olive-skinned Israeli Goddess anyday.
21. Hilarious, Israeli and Chic does not go together
Jonny ,   Israel   (07.25.07)
It's hilarious to someone who works in the fashion industry when reading this article. Chic simply does not exist in Israel, all the examples given look like an average teenager dressed on a British high street. When will Israeli culture stop trying to be something it is not, if the author of this article wants to understand the real definition of chic travel to Milan, London, NY, Paris, Madrid but defintely not H&M, Castro or Renaur.....hilarious!
22. #21 Jonny
Keren ,   SP-Israel   (07.25.07)
Milan,London,Paris,NY....Yes,you are right ,they are the best in the fashion's industry,and almost all of them are in the hand of Jews! I am in the fashion business for all my life and I can tell you that the best designers and companies ALL OVER THE WORLD,belong to Jews! And Israelis are very chic in their informal way of wearing!
23. Israeli community is a corrupted, seperated, and not united
Mohammad ,   Al Quds   (07.25.07)
no need to do anything with it, you will be destroyed by yourselves. Please, make it soon. Free Occupied Palestine Now
24. they are pretty
:D ,   Israel   (07.25.07)
but there are a LOT of gorgeous, exotic women walking down the streets of Israel than this girls.
25. #16 - lol
rachel ,   na   (07.25.07)
26. Bad selection
Talula ,   Israel   (07.25.07)
Too see beautiful Israeli women visit the next opera or go to Nachlat Binyamin on Friday morning - there are stunning beautiful women of all ages. The above selection is a pasty looking lot who are far from beautiful or chic.
27. #17 our real men wouldn't be in this sort of line up
meg ,   Israel   (07.25.07)
28. # 2
Menachem ,   Stockholm   (07.25.07)
Stephen, I fully agree with you. As an half Temani/Ethiopian born in South America living in Stockholm I can attest that if those girls were living here they would have a hard time getting a date as they are crow looking ugly. Israel want to appear as European as possible and for this reason we will not see the beauties from North Africa, Yemen and Ethiopia.
29. 10. Gil Riva, pictures
Arthur ,   Houston   (07.25.07)
The model, is this a guy or a girl? The lips? plastic?
30. #21 is RIGHT, #22, nice try
rpc ,   modiin, israel   (07.25.07)
With the exception of Galit Gutman's Prada bag, can someone tell me what was chic about the other outfits people wore? They looked pretty schlubby to me
