Michal Negrin Builds an Empire on Lace and Glitter

It was 1988 in Tel Aviv. The bi-weekly artists’ fair on Nachalat Binyamin had just begun to prosper. In a simple, home-made booth sat Michal Negrin -- a young and spirited artist who had quickly sold-out all of her creations. The number of the public phone adjacent to her stall was the number Michal handed out on her business cards. An auspicious start for one of Israel’s great fashion success stories.  Step into the magical world of Michal Negrin today and you enter a wonderland of creativity: ornate, colorful jewelry; lace dresses; home furnishings -- all set in a décor resembling the neo-Victorian style of the designer herself. Now headquartered in Bat Yam, Negrin oversees a world wide chain of stores, new lines in the making, and a charming visitors’ center – a woman’s fantasy land comparable in his genre to Willy Wonka’s chocolate factory --  that is attracting groups from around the world. The visitors’ center opened in 2007 when the world economy was spiraling downward and luxury purchases were the first to go. But Negrin, dressed in one her own creations, exudes a confidence that was an integral part of her ability to beat the odds. “The bad situation didn’t stop me. I was like a flower that was growing,” she told The Media Line. “The other people in the company didn’t know why I was laughing all the time; why I was happy all the time. You need to be optimistic and if you know exactly what you want to create, you say to the world ‘you’re not finished.’” The dazzling Swarovski-set jewelry is the trendsetter. Sold in twenty-four “concept stores” in Israel and twenty-eight others worldwide, each of the 500 color combinations is  part of a 2000-item line, all of which is meticulously hand-made by local Israeli artists, most of whom are products of  the prestigious Bezalel or Shanker schools of art. Sitting in small cubicles set in rows in the Jewelry Department, Negrin’s artisans painstakingly match each individual order to the client’s specific requests. Some of them have been working there for 15 years. The Mamilla (Jerusalem) store is bustling with buyers. Some are drawn by the color, others the brand.  Devora, a visitor from New York with her two young daughters in tow, has been a Michal Negrin regular for the past 10 years.
