We caught up with Adva and Tal, the successful design duo behind Mezi, for an exclusive insight about their style, inspiration and aspirations for their amazing collections.
Who is the Mezi woman?
The Mezi woman is strong and confident. She makes the most of every moment and loves to use accessories to make her statement, wearing her jewellery heavily layered – you can never layer too much Mezi!
Who or what inspires your collections?
We are definitely inspired by our background – we were born in Israel so there are a lot of Middle Eastern influences in our lives which are translated into our collections. We are also passionate about creating statement pieces that are functional, timeless and easy to wear.
Whose style do you most admire?
Tal – I absolutely love Christine Centenera (Fashion Editor of Harper’s Bazaar) (pictured); her style is amazing, I would love to go through her wardrobe!
Adva – Diane Von Furstenburg is the epitome of style for me, she gets it right every time and the prints in her clothing really inspire me!
We admire an effortless style approach; a confident look that mixes basics with a gorgeous statement piece. Stella McCartney and Lauren Hutton also embody this style and people we admire.
What has been the most notable/memorable moment for Mezi so far?
Being used for multiple shows in Rosemount Australia Fashion Week 2010 (pictured) was a big deal for us. The credit from our peers and influential designers in the industry was definitely a huge compliment to the label. Other great moments include having multiple celebrities wearing Mezi – we LOVE to see celebs in Mezi pieces, it will never get old.
Which celebrities/personalities are wearing Mezi?
Some celebrities include Jennifer Hawkins, Sarah Murdoch, Toni Collette, Jess Hart, Teresa Palmer, Erika Heynatz, Erin McNaught, Carrie Bickmore, Jessica Marais, Kate Ritchie, Natalie Bassingthwaite …! The list goes on!
