Reality TV personality and social media influencer שי חי has sharply criticized this year's Tel Aviv Fashion Week, calling the designs impractical and the events staged.
In a live Instagram video posted on Wednesday, חי, currently a contestant on the reality show "Survivor," expressed frustration with what he perceives as recurring themes at the event. He specifically pointed to models falling on the runway, which he described as "drama," and outfits that expose the body, which he called "incidents." חי questioned the artistic merit of clothing that prevents models from walking safely, stating, "I'm really trying to understand who and when decided that an outfit that doesn't allow a woman to take three steps without crashing on stage is the pinnacle of artistic creation."
חי also raised concerns about safety, arguing that clothing should serve the body rather than endanger it. He suggested that designers seem to have "fought with the hanger and lost." He directly addressed event organizer מוטי רייף, proposing a new category for next year: "clothes you can walk in." He believes the event has become repetitive and uninteresting, urging for new approaches.
This criticism comes shortly after חי revealed a surprising health discovery during an interview for the podcast "HaBrazia." He shared that an offer to participate in "Survivor" led to routine medical tests, which uncovered a serious heart condition. A doctor refused to clear him for the show, citing a "serious problem" and referring him for an urgent echocardiogram.
Despite these personal challenges, חי maintains his reputation for outspokenness, promising to continue speaking his mind, especially regarding the fashion industry's extreme displays.
