No surrender to sweatpants: war doesn’t dim Tel Aviv’s chic

Amid sirens and missiles from Iran, photographer Adar Yosef documents people outside shelters across Tel Aviv and finds they are not settling for pajamas as the city’s fashion identity endures in difficult times

|
Even under the strain of war, Tel Aviv residents are holding on to their sense of style. As sirens sounded and missiles from Iran sent people rushing in and out of shelters, photographer Adar Yosef captured street scenes showing that many still chose carefully put-together outfits over sleepwear, underscoring how fashion remains part of the city’s character even in moments of fear and disruption.
