Tel Aviv–based designer Ravid Haken has been giving crochet a very sexy twist.
Ravid Haken has been churning out crochet for quite some time. Based in Tel Aviv, the 33-year-old’s designs—which range from dresses to lingerie—come in sweet swirls of color, vary in texture, and are often decorated with tassels. There is always at least some sass woven into the silhouettes: In one image, Haken wears a dress with a scoop neck that ever so slightly slides off the shoulders while the bottom portion hangs like a loin cloth.
All of Haken’s designs are inherently sexy. Crochet has the ability to choose loop sizes, meaning that the classic technique can be morphed into something that has more of a saucy, peekaboo effect. The concept came to Haken, who is queer and of a Tunisian and Polish background, as a way to break out of a hyper-masculine mold, which has long dominated the Middle Eastern country.
Crochet is not known for its sex appeal, but Haken has figured out how to make the technique his own. This is best seen in his underwear—he started making them in 2013—which are brazenly bare creations that reflect his window out of a machismo culture. In the mix are crochet panties in flamingo pink with feather and pearl adornments. He titled those “Crochet Wrestlers,” an homage to vintage homoerotic photography, where wrestling was “an excuse to show the nude male body,” says Haken.
