Pnina Tornai

Pnina Tornai became the top-selling designer at Kleinfeld Bridal within two years of introducing her collection in 2005, solidifying her reputation as a celebrated fashion and wedding dress designer. Her journey into bridal wear began in 1992 when a client requested a custom wedding dress, an event that led to a feature on the front page of an Israeli newspaper and prompted Tornai to transform her store into a dedicated wedding dress salon. Though initially rejected by Kleinfeld for being too unconventional, Tornai revised her designs and successfully launched her collection with the prestigious salon. This success led to the establishment of an exclusive Pnina Tornai boutique within Kleinfeld, where she remains the only designer with a dedicated in-store presence.

Her visibility expanded through media appearances, including the Israeli version of Big Brother VIP in 2009 and MasterChef VIP in 2015. Currently, Tornai maintains an active presence in New York City for two weeks each month, personally consulting with clients and hosting monthly trunk shows. Her enduring influence in the bridal industry is highlighted by her nearly two-decade partnership with Kleinfeld Bridal. In 2023, she launched her first shoe collaboration with Naturalizer, further diversifying her brand’s reach.

Looking ahead, Tornai is set to release her highly anticipated Kintsugi Couture Collection for 2026, continuing to innovate and shape bridal fashion. Her commitment to design excellence and her unique market position underscore her lasting legacy in the global fashion landscape.
