When a superb fashion archive meets Eyal Shani's latest endeavor: an array of stunning items were selected from H&M's collection archive over the years (including iconic collaborations) for the first fashion production at the Gila and Nancy restaurant by the PAG party line and the chef. Pieces were chosen with careful consideration of the vibrant atmosphere of the new place. The combination of such different worlds is never easy, prompting both sides to explore and learn more about each other and their intersection.
"How does a city become turbulent again and again? Young people, hungry for change, rebel against their parents who have already fallen asleep. They have big dreams, burning ambition, and a belief that they can change the world and make it a better place. Often, they are pushed to the margins, to the underground, to the dark city basements where they create living environments that allow every person to breathe and proudly carry who they choose to be in the world. PAG and Eyal Shani may have understood, perhaps for the first time in the world, that these wonderful and colorful people deserve much more than the city's margins and opened Gila, a place that celebrates the different and gives it a central stage soaked in heart-shaking food that celebrates freedom."
