Behind the scenes in Laish, each model arranges the garment accurately. "It's a different excitement and different from the shows I put on every year at Fashion Week," he tells Israel Today. "It's also a celebration of a decade-long closure, but mostly for me, it's back to the classic cutouts I've always loved and to my favorite line of couture."
In his recent years exhibitions in Laish, he presented a casual and modern line in his character, and even talked about launching a style that would be "Vivi for the masses." "I had such a thought, but after examining the field, the costs, the viability, the load and the effort it took, I shelved the idea. - The couture. "
"Something's going on over the years and with the rise in age, today I'm much calmer. Soon I'll celebrate 52 and less can get me out of the dishes. I'm more his and whole, less impulsive, see things differently. This is reflected in the fact that I'm less rushing forward, I can stop and focus on things The little ones I never used to make when I was creating a garment or when I was measuring a woman's garment. I like to be accurate, and I think that I now contain and understand the body of a woman. "
What are the aspirations for the future?
"To go with the couture to the world, sell not only in the country. I will present the bridal week in Barcelona this April with the current collection presented. I have clients from abroad who constantly ask why I do not show fashion week abroad, and why I do not return to activity outside of Israel. This year I decided to embark on this adventure, if it succeeds what's good and if it's not okay, I enjoy the process. "
