Pnina Tornai, an Israeli fashion designer working in the USA, told Hollywood Life in an interview why sexiness matters for brides:

They don’t call Pnina Tornai the ‘Fairy Godmother’ of wedding gowns for nothing! With a sprinkle of the Israeli designer’s magical stardust, any woman will become the bride of her dreams, especially in her latest collection. In her “craziest year in bridal since 1984,” Pnina told HollywoodLife that following two years of uncertainty and event cancellations, “brides are getting married.” “They’re wearing my dresses, they’re having big weddings. I’m fully booked for 2022, and it’s really wonderful,” she gushed, while chatting at her Kleinfeld trunk show. “The brides are wearing ball gowns. I just launched by Stardust Couture collection for 2022, named for my stars, my brides, and I was taking a chance with the designs, because they’re really bigger than life, and they are flying off the shelves.”

Although when she began, and could still be a leftist-influenced problem today, it wasn't that easy to sell the local businesses on them:

Pnina also reflected on the evolution of bridal styles through the years, especially when she first came to America to sell her designs from Israel. “When I first came to America, my dresses were very sexy, because the Israeli bride has always been very daring and sexy. When I first showed my dresses to Kleinfeld, well, they looked at the dresses, they looked at me and they said, ‘We will never be able to sell these dresses in the United States,'” she recalled. “Here I was, the leading designer in my country, being refused! So, I created a new collection for them, and it was a little less daring and sexy, but still had my signature elements. But, throughout the years, I feel like I really changed the landscape in the United States and in the world.”

Pnina continued, “Women now are more aware of their figure, how they want to look. Women want to show how gorgeous they are, because they are!”

I don't doubt she met up with liberal wokesters in the USA who despised her belief in sex positivity, which certainly has its spot here, save for Haredis who cower at the whole notion of sexiness (also Islamists), and, surely sadder to say, some leftist Israelis. I suspect Asaf Blacher, one of the local entertainment directors who worked with the Miss Universe pageant, is somebody of that sort, and again, he should be ashamed of himself and owes an apology for doing something akin to body shaming, along with advocating political correctness to curry favor from other woke advocates.

If the overseas brides are buying into Tornai's sexier designs, that's something everybody should admire, and it also serves as an example of how sexiness is more accepted than we think, and leftists have to stop lecturing us otherwise. I strongly encourage Tornai to continue with her sexiest wedding gown designs for years to come, as they are an excellent example of how to market ladies' fashions, including for marriage. Speaking of which, if marriages are picking up after the past 2 years filled with Coronavirus, that's good too.
