The women's wear boutique Delicatessen in Gan Hahashmal District, Tel Aviv, Israel. The Gan HaHashmal ("Electric Garden" in Hebrew) area, a former red-light district, has become the city's most compelling destination for those interested in the lightweight, season-less designs.The area takes its name from a power plant opened in 1923 in what was then the British mandate of Palestine. The quarter flourished until the 1950s, when the power plant was relocated to Tel Aviv's less congested north and nearly five decades of neglect ensued, transforming the district into a warren of drug addicts and prostitutes. A few years ago, however, Tel Aviv's municipality converted the historic power station structures, paved over the original garden and installed pedestrian-friendly walkways and seating.
