Five Towner involved in Fashion Week

Woodmere resident Cindy Grosz, who heads, Cindy’s Corners, a full service media and consulting company, will join forces with the Tahor Group, a New York-based consumer marketing advisory firm for the second annual TLV Runway NYC this coming September 2017 during New York Fashion Week.

Grosz, along with Tobi Rubinstein and Nancy Torres Kaufman of the Tahor Group, believe that when people shop globally for the best in fashion, beauty and lifestyle items, Israel has carved out a strong niche in the marketplace, and politics is nowhere in the equation when it concerns creativity and design.

“I have been involved in many fashion shows featuring many nationalities and countries and always felt that Israelis in the business should have equal access to both the international audience and press,” Grosz said. “This is not a Jewish, a certain political party or even a religious issue, rather an appreciation for fine quality goods available for international buyers that range in costs and styles and for women, men and youth.”

Gottex, Sabon,  Ahava , Yigal Azrouel, Elie Tahari, the list is endless, and TLV Runway aims to generate the excitement of showcasing top Israeli designers during the most visually important week in New York City. It is open to companies interested in sponsorship opportunities. The support of the Israeli Government includes, the Israel Consul General of New York. “We want to reveal Israel through the lens of fashion and beauty,” Rubenstein said.

Working with Israeli designers is nothing new to both companies. The Tahor Group works with celebrated couture bridal and  evening wear designer Inbal Dror. Grosz featured designer Rinat Brodash and artist Noa Attias on her radio show and in print articles.

“Speaking at TLV Runway NYC during New York Fashion Week last fall was one of my first public engagements as Consul General of Israel in New York, and I was filled with pride to see so many beautiful creations by Israeli designers featured on such a prestigious international stage,” Ambassador Dani Dayan said. 
Supporting the event is Ofir Fisher, executive vice president and co-founder of OR Movement, one of the Israel's chic organizations representing fashion designers, art galleries and the Z Hotel chain. “OR Movement believes that art, fashion and design is crucial component to the regional development  of the Negev and Galilee,” Fisher said, “proven by the enormous continued growth in all areas of creativity.”

It began with a vision at the Gindi Fashion Week in TLV. Followed with an idea presented to the mayor’s office in Tel Aviv and continued with the full endorsement from former Ambassador Ido Ahroni. “The goal is that Israel’s talent will  be showcased in New York, Israelis’ second home. Through TLV Runway NYC the world has the opportunity to learn about the enormous amount of talent in the arts and design coming out of Israel,” he said.
