Elie Tahari

From his debut in 1974, fashion designer Elie Tahari and the Elie Tahari Collection has been a force to reckon with. A business which was initially sparked from the creation and fantastic success of the tube top. With a boutique that was located on Madison Avenue, the shop quickly became the popular destination for modern women looking for sexy, feminine pieces.

Tahari successfully also created his company based on his incredible instincts that enabled him to predict what was going to happen in fashion before it actually did happen.

The Elie Tahari Collection is a category created from this idea and is filled beautifully with tasteful, well-tailored suits; career dressing for women that remained feminine, and choices upon choices for a male-dominated business culture.

Today, some 30 years later, Mr. Tahari is still remembered by those women who were embarking on a new course in their lives: offered fashions designed for smart, savvy women who didn’t necessarily want to give-up their identity as a woman first, businesswoman second.

In 1997, Elie Tahari saw the launch of 'Theory' as a sportswear line integrating innovative stretch fabrics for a slightly younger audience. The line capitalizes on sleek shapes and silhouettes, designed for a hip, lifestyle-driven sensibility. Theory became, and remains, a cult favorite with a momentum that has no intention of slowing down. The line is modern, clean, quietly sexy and feminine; maybe its success was assured given the Company’s track record, but it has been viewed as nothing less than extraordinary in an increasingly crowded industry.

Even after 30 years, Mr. Tahari, through the Collection, remains true to his instincts, the ‘before timely’ ideas that are just a little ahead of the times, but way out front when creating those magic moments of fashion.
