Injured soldiers from the Israel Defense Forces (IDF) participated in a fashion show at Tel Aviv Fashion Week, walking the runway alongside professional models. The event, titled "Shards" (Resisim), was a collaboration between designer Golan Albez Friedman and the Organization of IDF Disabled Veterans. The show aimed to highlight the journey of pain, rehabilitation, and hope experienced by those wounded in service, emphasizing that their stories extend beyond the moment of injury.
Friedman, who himself has undergone rehabilitation after a severe spinal injury, found personal meaning in the project. He explained that the "Shards" collection, which deals with pain, inner strength, and the choice of hope, emerged during the war when many aspects of his life were shattered. The collection represents a fight for the future.
For the Organization of IDF Disabled Veterans, the fashion show provided a platform to showcase the wounded not just through their injuries, but as the individuals they are today. Their walk on the runway was intended to express their strength, identity, and the ongoing process of rebuilding their lives, conveying a message of gratitude to those who sacrificed their bodies and souls for the nation's security.
As part of the collaboration, a special line of t-shirts inspired by the "Shards" collection was launched, with all profits from their sale to be donated to the Organization of IDF Disabled Veterans.
