Where will Batsheva Hay go now that she has made the Elizabethan-inspired, ruffled collared dress a must-have for hipsters from Brooklyn to Dalston and Tokyo, not to mention Lucy Boynton, Céline Dion and Courtney Love?
On this episode of the podcast, A Different Tweed, Mosha Lundström Halbert discovers Batsheva’s forward direction and also the origin of her eponymous brand, the success of which is based on her trademark “Batsheva dress.”
Informed by sartorial hallmarks evoking restraint and repression – namely, those high collars plus voluminous sleeves and full, ankle-grazing skirts – as well as quotidian feminine fashion references – Little House on the Prairie; earthy Hippie and the Upper West Side Housewife – Batsheva’s eclectic togs have been selling like wildfire since she launched her brand in 2016.
Mosha meets up with Batsheva at her New York studio and revisits the places where her fashion story began – namely her grandmother and mother’s Laura Ashley-laden closets – as well as Queen’s New York (where as a “sad preteen” at her local branch of Barnes & Noble she devoured the latest issues of Vogue and W), her fashion photographer husband, Alexei Hay’s spiritual quest and the “stuffy white shoe” law-firm where the “suppression” she experienced sporting a Club Monaco white button - down ultimately propelled her to the vanguard of the fashion world.
