Taking a dream and making it your reality.

Elie Tahari has an inspirational story. Born in Jerusalem and sent to an orphanage after his parents divorced and later to an Israeli Air Force boarding school in Haifa; he managed to migrate to the US as an electrician. He moved to New York and sought work in the Garment District sleeping nights at a YMCA or the benches of Central Park. He learned about the retail business while selling clothes at a boutique in Greenwich Villiage. Elie then began to design women's fashion inspired by the NYC nightclub scene. Tahari became one of the first fashion designers to open a boutique on Madison Avenue in 1974. Today Elie Tahari is an American luxury designer for men and women with his clothing gracing five continents, more than 6,000 US stores and in five free-standing boutiques. That's a long way to come from sleeping in YMCA's and on park benches. Today model's wore t-shirts expressing love for ET as he cut the ribbon to the new lay of the ET shop in Saks Fifth Ave.
