A trio of international designers put their best looks forward on the runway Thursday for the city's first all-Israeli fashion show.
Birthright Israel NEXT and the council of Young Jewish Presidents organized the event in Midtown to help New Yorkers see another side of Israel's culture.
The event drew in nearly 1,000 people including some famous faces such as Israeli swim suit model Estee Ginzburg and Israeli Consul General Asaf Shariv.
"It's fun, it's much more fun than dealing with events in the UN lets start with that. But it gives other people a chance to see other sides of Israel that they don't usually see and this is a side that we are very proud of," Shariv said.
NY1's own Jessica Abo co-hosted the event.
