Billionaire's Daughter Yuli Sagi Set for Runway Debut at Tel Aviv Fashion Week

Yuli Sagi, the eldest daughter of billionaire businessman Teddy Sagi and Limor Simanovich, is preparing to make her highly anticipated debut on the fashion runway. At 21 years old, she is set to take her first steps as a model after being selected to participate in the upcoming Israel Canada Tel Aviv Fashion Week 2026, scheduled for November. For the daughter of one of Israel's wealthiest figures, this marks her very first appearance on the runway at a major fashion event.

Sagi will walk in the fashion show of designer Thai Biton, taking place on Tuesday, November 10, as part of the fashion week lineup. For the 29-year-old Biton, who operates a studio in Haifa overlooking the sea, this is also a milestone moment: it will be her first time presenting a collection on the main runway of Tel Aviv Fashion Week.

Ocean-Inspired Couture

Having worked in the fashion industry for nearly a decade, Biton has already dressed a long list of prominent local figures, including Maya Kay, Adel Bespalov, Sapir Avisror, Einav Boblil, and singer Rita. She now arrives at the central stage of fashion week with a new collection deeply inspired by the sea and nature. The upcoming line combines coastal landscapes, surfing culture, and natural materials such as ropes and shells, transforming them into luxurious couture pieces.

Sagi will walk alongside a line of models and well-known women, with international top model San Mizrahi opening the show in an extraordinary garment that required over 100 hours of craftsmanship. Additional participants will include Moriah Biton, Lea Yanai, and Eden Saban.

Celebrations and International Moves

The upcoming runway appearance follows closely on the heels of Yuli's 21st birthday celebrations, which began in Italy during a trip for a wedding in Portofino. She later continued the festivities with close friends before returning to Israel on a private jet. Earlier this year, Sagi temporarily relocated to London to take summer courses at Regent's University London, a private institution located in Regent's Park. The move aligns with her family's strong ties to the British capital, where her father holds significant real estate assets, including the renowned Camden Market.

Yuli is the daughter of Teddy Sagi and Limor Simanovich, making her the half-sister of model and fashion figure Coral Simanovich. Her father built his fortune primarily through the software company Playtech before expanding his investments into real estate and technology.
