One of the first New York City designers to open a boutique in the early 1970's, Elie Tahari’s eponymous label is today -- perhaps unbeknownst to many -- one of the strongest performing brands for fashion retailers across the U.S. (Saks, Bloomingdales) & more recently the U.K. (Selfridges, Harvey Nichols).This Fall season, Mr & Mrs Tahari (wife Rory is VP & Creative Director of the brand) were obviously feeling happy & optimistic as they worked watercolour florals & abstract prints into their fitted but billowy dresses, referencing the iconic painter Tamara de Lempicka (best known for her Art Deco portraits of alluring, bedroom-eyed women in stylish clothes & haunting poses).
By day, these fresh & modern dresses become appropriate office wear when toned down with a suit jacket & professional pumps. Then by night, change into killer heels & add some sparkle (a clutch, some jewellery), & you’re ready to party!
