The Renoir fashion chain filmed the spring-summer 2020 fashion campaign on Wednesday alongside veteran Yehuda Levi, Geffen Barkai, Barak Shamir, Noa Kirl, Yael Shalbiya and Eden Pines. The fashion company also included models Omar Nudelman and Romi Frankel as presenters.

We stayed on the set of photos, and when it comes to the set packed with the presenters it's not easy. Yehuda Levi, the veteran presenter, knocks on a fashionable overdue, and although everyone is stressed out, he actually comes to rest, smiling to everyone and without Star's papers. However, despite his seniority, he is excited.
Still excited? I'm asking. "Clearly. Every season I get excited despite all the years."
Asked how he feels when he is older and around the model age ranges from 25-18, is he a kind of "big brother" he smiles. "I love them all. It's lovely to see the young people with all their energy, and it's fun to be inspired by this young spirit."
"Do you give them tips"?
"I'm the 'irresponsible' adult. They don't need tips from me - they're experienced."
Nodelman, Renoir's new acquisition, seems stressed. For her, this is a first baptism of fire, and yet she believes this is her year. After taking part in the Million Race and modeling for the FIX lingerie brand, she admits: "I'm very excited, nonetheless it's an honorable position to be part of Renoir's campaign. It's entering the major league and it's opening doors." With much confidence, she adds, "When I went to the auditions, I felt inside and believed it to be mine and that was how it was."
"Is there a fear"?
"Not fear but tremendous excitement. Everyone is frank, veteran Yehuda Levi is a man of men, and all the veterans accepted me and Rumi Frankel who also joined. But I come here not only to prove myself but also to bring Omar, myself to the position, who I am And the background I came from. Renoir matched my style of dress exactly to who I was - my seatbacks and my style. On the one hand floral and on the other a cowboy-style look. "
"If there is an item in a collection that you do not like, and as a parenter you will need to wear, what will you do?"
"Anything can be changed and added to your personal taste. Many times if I like a long skirt, I add it to the side, or a certain shirt that I add different elements to, I'll know how to adjust it, anything is possible."
"You have now brought an idea for Renoir to your capsule collection."
"Everything is possible, maybe. Many times I even take items from other boys' collections, incorporate and match who I am. Each item of clothing in my eyes can be changed and customized according to your personal style."
Yehuda Levy, 40 years old, but still looks young for his age and integrates in harmony with the other young presenters. When I ask if there is a fear that today will come and say to Renoir "Thanks Yehuda, but you are replaced," he replies: "It is blessed to have a job, I admit, respect and it is exciting. But obviously, in this life there is no permanence, everything changes and moves and I edit it "And knowing that this day will come, there is nothing to do - it's life."
"How would you define your style of dress"?
"I've been asking myself exactly this question lately. I'm wearing a lot of black shades and trying to get out of it. It's a flattering color, but I got something more colorful and less gloomy. My life has been tapering happier and better. I used to be more busy with what I look like and what I wear when I leave home. I have reached the age that I am looking for more to wear according to how my mood is that day. Not too much effort. Today I can even go out with a workout and less care what they say. "
"In an accepted world, a presenter pulls out a capsule collection, doesn't it tickle you"?
"You got over something. We're talking about it, it's on the table and it's about proper timing."
"What prevents it"?
"You have to be in it, and there are all kinds of other considerations. When it came to mind."
"Your life has been more relaxed since you married Shlomit Malka, you and she are less visible in launches."
"I never came to a lot of events if I didn't have to, it just seemed like I was coming to a lot of them. You'll be surprised, but I'm pretty much hidden in the tools. There's the extroverted Yehuda Levi and on the other hand who loves the quiet of the house."
"So what do you wish, soon your own capsule collection"?
"That's what you wish for me. I want you to wish me more than that."
"And there will soon be a father."
"Artist by God."
