Who Created Hale Bob

After two decades in the fashion industry, Daniel Bohbot combined his business acumen, love of travel, and eye for beauty to create Hale Bob. Daniel Bohbot was born in Casablanca. At the age of four, his family moved to Paris. As a young man in the "City of Lights," Bohbot emersed himself in the art, music, film, and architecture of that metropolis, developing a sense of style and a viewpoint that combined the world of pop culture and celebrity with the world of couture. A 2001 visit to Los Angeles affirmed this creative viewpoint for Bohbot. It made him realize the "City of Angels" was "the place" to launch the designs that would quickly make his clothes the must-have fashions for Hollywood's celebrity clientele.

Bohbot's brand of feminine, distinctive, and rich clothing and accessories captures the attitude of style, glamour, and fashion of Hollywood's celebrity elite. Daniel felt that Los Angeles was the place where he could cultivate his authentic, highly specialized California lifestyle brand of flirtatious and sophisticated clothing and accessories that embody feminine individuality. Daniel's creations have been featured in music videos, films, and some of the most popular television shows, including Desperate Housewives and the Ellen DeGeneres show.

Daniel finds inspiration for his unique blend of style and sophistication on his bi-annual worldwide tour. He is always on the lookout for the next big trend or movement in what women are wearing and invents ways to weave those discoveries into his fashion. Always finding inspiration in the unique culture of celebrity found in Los Angeles, Bohbot sees the impact this lifestyle has on fashion.

"At Hale Bob, we create clothing that sets women apart from the crowd. Our collections are unique, and our prints are developed in our studio and are exclusive to Hale Bob. Most of our garments are made from 100% silk. Silk is a natural fiber that keeps a woman warm in the winter and cool in the summer, captures the essence of femininity, and transforms her whenever she wears it. Our priority is making women feel beautiful, comfortable, and confident." Daniel Bohbot

Active living is a significant part of Daniel's business, and he stays abreast of trends by immersing himself in fashion, both in Los Angeles and around the world. He frequently embarks on trips, both within the United States and overseas to European and Asian countries, to observe what women are wearing and how it makes a statement. Daniel spends long days at Hale Bob's headquarters in the heart of LA's Fashion District and ventures out every night to observe the fashion choices of women in the trendiest neighborhoods, from West Hollywood to Malibu. 'It's crucial for fashion to be out and about, to see what's happening in the LA culture. Some of the hottest new styles are emerging from the street, which greatly influences the line of bags and shoes Hale Bob is creating,' Bohbot shared.

When Daniel had a moment, he spoke with Gemma Magazine about Hale Bob, the inspiration for it, and his love for fashion and design. So let's get started!
