10 Israeli designers sold internationally - from Dodo Bar Or to Ronen Chen

Berta Balilti founded her namesake brand in 2004. A graduate of Shenkar College of design, her sleek style and modern fits blend vintage with retro to create designs that are among the most praised in the world. Berta has been chosen as one of the best five wedding dress designers in the world by Elle Italy, and her collections can be found in famous stores such as Saks Fifth Avenue (New York), Nordstrom’s and The Wedding Club (London) to name a few. Her latest bridal collection features thirty new gowns that take their inspiration from floral and botanical diversity: just as flowers are diverse – each species unique – each of the pieces in the collection are as well. Kate Bock from Sports Illustrated, who was chosen to model for the collection, is as picture perfect as the bridal gowns themselves. Make your gown a Berta gown because as Berta says, ‘every bride should flourish’.
