Tel Aviv Fashion Week got off to a full start Monday with eight full runway shows, all held on the same catwalk of the refurbished HaTachana railway station.
In between the shows, spectators tottered on their high-heeled wedges (and that was just the men; kidding!) along the cobblestoned grounds of the historic plaza, stopping to sip espressos and gossip about what outfits they coveted or nixed from the upcoming designers featured at the second annual fashion week.
But the best part about a fashion week, particularly in the casual environs of the land of Israel, is checking out people’s outfits, as a fashion event offers one of the best opportunities for showing off your wardrobe:
