KINGSTON, R.I. Liraz Cohen, an Israeli fashion designer and blogger, is

Cohen, a graduate at Hebrew University of Jerusalem, works as a fashion
blogger and personal stylist out of New York City and currently travels the
country telling the story of Israeli fashion throughout time.
The show will begin at 7:00 p.m. on Wednesday, March 1 at the Norman M.

It is very hard to define what Israeli fashion really is, and through the
presentation we see what the challenges are in defying it, and try to answer
the question, "What is Israeli fashion? Cohen said, I am excited to creating
a unique style for the URI students who will be on the runway at the fashion
show and showcasing the latest Israeli fashions.

Amy Olson, the executive director of the URI Hillel is enthusiastic about the
event. We are so excited to host fashion blogger and stylist Liraz Cohen at
URI Hillel. She is an amazing woman and an inspiration for so many of our
students. Olson said.
