Elie Tahari grew up in an Israeli orphanage and made his way to New York City with less than $100 in his pocket. While moon- lighting at a boutique in Greenwich Village in the 70’s, he was introduced to the world of fashion. Inspired by that era’s daz- zling discos, Tahari began to create flirty dance dresses and his label was born. Elie Tahari delights women with styles inspired by his belief that “clothing should be quieter than the woman so that her true beauty can shine through.” Customers have been drawn to Elie Tahari’s designs for de- cades and his clientele continues to revel in the opulent fabrics, subtle textures and unforgettable details that have come to define the revered brand. Elie Tahari has come to character- ize modern sophistication and young luxury with his inspired collections of understated grace and elegance.
