| Orly Star, born Orly Setareh began
exploring the arts at a young age by attending art and ballet classes.
Constantly fascinated by colors and movement, she continued her classical
training in dance and oil-painting while developing a new addiction: "Fashion"!
While trying to emulate the styles of designers and celebrities, but always
adding her own "edge", Star began to take fashion courses in 2002 to further
feed her addiction. Using her well-developed artistic ability and colorful
sense of life, Star began sketching her own designs and launched her new
Los Angeles based line of clothing in 2004, appropriately named Adiqshun
by Orly Star.
The Adiqshun clothing line currently
consists of shirts and tank tops with contradictory remarks as well as
sassy statements on the front and back. Star describes her line as "Classic
complimented by Edge"; hence the intentional misspelling of the word Adiqshun.
In a funfilled way, these shirts and tanks represent people's addiction
to things such as love, sex, money and power.
Star recently decided to use her creativity in making witty statements to reconnect humanity to the environment. She is currently working on an “Ecofriendly” line, printed on 100% organic cotton tees, to raise one’s level of consciousness towards saving our environment and sustaining a safer world. A portion of all proceeds of her Ecofriendly line will be donated to Global Green USA, a national environment organization that addresses combating climate change, neutralizing weapons of mass destruction and promoting access to clean water. Her new “Ethics” line is another vehicle in reminding people of the values they must uphold to live a healthier, more productive life. Never one to forget those who are less
fortunate, Orly Star’s company has donated to the “Breast Cancer Research
Foundation”. This foundation’s mission is to achieve prevention and a cure
for Cancer. Star uses pink satin ribbons for her labels as a reminder for
Cancer awareness. ARMDI is another foundation that ADIQSHUN has donated
to. This is an organization that helps raise money to buy ambulances for
Israel. Recently, Orly Star has designed a special “Team Israel” shirt
to help raise money for the terror victims in Israel. A portion of all
sales of this t-shirt will be donated to the Israel Crisis Fund. This is
an organization that was established to help meet the immediate humanitarian
needs of vulnerable children, elderly and the disabled in Israel .Star
has also helped sponsor "Clothes the Deal". A charity helping low income
families acquire appropriate attire for the workforce.
