All the details about the Kornit Tel Aviv fashion week - voila! Fashion

"I'm pretty broken up this year," is how Motti Ripe opens the press conference that kicks off the Cornit FAC Tel Aviv Fashion Week 2023 in which 28 designers will present.

"This time it's not like the day before yesterday, we are experiencing very challenging days with what is happening in the country, everyone is protesting and we are putting up posts about fashion week. But I insist on giving the stage to Israeli pride and creativity as it deserves."

Still, the fashion week is not expected to be completely "free" of protest, designers who approached Rape and asked for the possibility to protest on stage received his blessing.

In addition, many young exhibitors took their place this year over a number of veteran designers who used to participate in previous years.

This time too there will be an emphasis on diversity, "I don't care what the current trend is in the world and who return to represent slimness, we continue to provide a platform for diverse representations, I owe all the designers", Ripe declares.

"Models of every age, size and height are expected to walk the runways."
