The Gal Stern hand-printed tights collection is full of sassy tights, many of which resemble tropical lizard scales. Gal Stern is an Israeli designer who graduated from Shenkar College of Engineering and Design (the esteemed Albert Elbaz also studied there). Stern's fascination with printing led her to open up her own studio and create tights using a own special technique that she developed on her own.
The Gal Stern hand-painted collection stems from her "fascination with shapes and the way they attach, transform and create a surface."
