Aviv Geffen Accidentally Throws Away $19,000 Designer Cloak to Audience at Rock Gala

During Aviv Geffen's 14th Rock Gala held in June 2026 at Park HaYarkon, the Israeli singer accidentally tossed a highly valuable designer cloak into the crowd. The event attracted approximately 55,000 attendees. The cloak, created by renowned Israeli fashion designer Victor (Vivi) Blaish, is a one-of-a-kind silk chiffon piece specially dyed deep black for Geffen's performance. Its estimated value is around 19,000 shekels, reflecting Blaish's prestigious reputation and the garment's unique craftsmanship.

Geffen later addressed the incident on Instagram, sharing stories with his 123,000 followers where he admitted the mistake and offered a golden ticket to his next gala to anyone who returns the cloak. The cloak was thrown during a dramatic moment on stage, and despite the appeal, it is unlikely the item will be returned given its rarity and value.

The article also notes that Blaish is hosting a special summer sale from July 24 to 29 at his Tel Aviv store, offering fans a chance to visit the designer's home and shop exclusive pieces. This incident highlights the intersection of music and high fashion in Israel's entertainment scene and the unexpected costs of spontaneous stage acts.
