Ayn Rand
A 25 year old immigrant opens a store in New York's Greenwich village. Israel, in all its fragility and energy, is a place he will return to one day. On his own terms. For now, he has a plan. . .
He's going to sell tube tops to girls who want to look sexy in the nightclubs, and he's going to finance the tops by screwing in lightbulbs in the garment district by day. There are going to be nights he sleeps on a park bench in Central Park, but he grew up in an orphanage and clocked in many hours (and nights) on the streets of Tel Aviv. A bench for a bed is, literally, a walk in the park. He will own a fashion empire worth $500 million dollars.

He viewed celebrity endorsements as distracting; Elie firmly believes that his line must be solely about the clothes. Last evening Tahari celebrated the opening of The Elie Tahari boutique in Saks Fifth Avenue with Ronald L. Frasch, the department store's President and Chief Merchandising Officer.He's going to sell tube tops to girls who want to look sexy in the nightclubs, and he's going to finance the tops by screwing in lightbulbs in the garment district by day.
