Elie Tahari's label is one of the most recognizable in the US today, but for the uninitiated, his story isn't a huge part of the brand narrative. Born in Israel and raised in an orphanage, the designer was penniless when he moved to New York in 1971 after finishing his service in the Israeli army. He made a living changing light bulbs in New York's Garment District and by selling women's clothes at night in the East Village. Eventually, Tahari found success with a luxury retail line of clothing which now brings in some $500 million in revenue a year. According to his website, he "believes clothing should be 'quieter than the woman,' so that her true beauty can shine through." He rose through the adversity of being raised in an Israeli orphanage by moving to New York and becoming a respected designer while in his 20's.
Tahari suits are designed for high end professionals such as lawyers, professors and corporate personnel.
