He completed regular service in the IDF and studied at Shenkar - a high school of engineering and design, and to this day he is considered the most successful student and the pride of the school.

When he recently returned to the fashion world, he returned with a fresh perspective and a modern brand offering. "Whose works have always focused on making people happy and special."
