At Paris Fashion Week SS26, Moda Productions proudly presented the Fashion Icon Award to Tobi Rubinstein, honoring her remarkable career at the crossroads of couture and conviction.
A visionary whose influence transcends fashion, Tobi has spent her career redefining the boundaries between spirituality, creativity, and culture. From co-creating groundbreaking fashion brands to producing boundary-pushing shows and media projects, her work continues to challenge convention while inviting dialogue about the deeper meaning behind style.
Known globally as “The Fashion Rabbi,” Tobi’s voice has become synonymous with purpose in fashion — a reminder that beauty can coexist with belief, and that true style begins within. Her journey, from working with some of the industry’s biggest names to inspiring conversations around modesty, empowerment, and faith, has left an indelible mark on both fashion and culture.
The award itself — a sculptural piece handcrafted by acclaimed artist Tzuri Guetta — was presented to Rubinstein during Moda’s Paris Fashion Week SS26 showcase at Hôtel de Maisons.
