Tziporah Salamon

 — fashion consultant, performer
New York City, Women
"Clothes find me. But they always tell the same story, the same feeling." Tziporah Salamon

I was drawn like a magnet to Tziporah when I saw her meandering through one of my favorite New York institutions, the Manhattan Vintage Show. From her embroidered fezzes and shoes and turn of the century Moroccan and Pierrot-inspired blazers to her hand-painted silk scarves, Tziporah believes in telling a story about yourself though your style and exploring indigenous cultures. She says that she does not choose her clothes, but that they find her, proving that style is not about trends but rather comes from within. I love the story that she tells about her dressmaker parents working tirelessly through the night making her clothes, and how every morning she would wake up to something new and distinctive to wear. Tziporah is so passionate about the art of dressing, that when she was a “hippie” at Berkeley, she would disguise her purchases of Vogue behind Ms. Magazine. Tziporah is a force of nature, raising the bar of taste and style, but ultimately all she really cares about is making people smile.

Tziporah has a one woman show called “The Fabric of My Life” about her obsession and relationship with clothes and you should check out her website here.

    I just have to correct one thing – on picture #l8, you say I am wearing an Armani vest – actually, it’s an old Armenian vest.Otherwise, it’s perfect. Thanks.

    Mazel Tov. Wonderful video of you and I remember you as a hippie with your personal flair—even back then. Your show was delightful and hope thousands will have the pleasure of seeing you perform. It was such a thrill for me to see you and hear more of your incredible story, life and passion.
    Hugs and love, Nancy

    beautiful person.

  • Marla

    Oh my god, I love that lady! I’m not crazy about her style, but it is awesome that everything she wears seems to have a history behind it, and her approach is so refreshing – wear what makes you you, and don’t worry about what other people think. I wish more people would adopt her philosophy, maybe we would have less snooty shopgirls in the world :)

    this woman is absolutely incredible… the life she brings to the clothes, plus the stories, the music, ah and most importantly the social connections… bringing brightness & positivity & hope and beauty with the clothes she wears, she reminds us that in this world impressions count so why not invest your fullest self!

    This woman is a sweetheart too. I had the privilege to meet her at an opening last year. She was head to toe in black and burnished gold. She is both clever and profound. Her style is her own and it suits her to a t. Watch the video and witness this style icon for yourself…xo

  • eVp

    Just met Tziporah here in San Francisco. She’s a wonderful soul! I love her.

  • Suella

    Thanks for the examples of combining very specialethnographic pieces with specially made-for-you trousers etc. The attention to detail with the accessories and building outfits up over time is inspirational as well. I’m going to shop my closet and do some more focused combinations.

    Cheers form England!

    joy of life: it’s essence lives here, thanks enjoyed it like a visit to a dusty old museum of incredible forgotten things, or walking into Matisse’s prop closet, or the dressing room of a harem, or into a Russian constructivist painting
