Famous fashion designer Elie Tahari confessed that he was homeless in the '70s
Famous fashion designer Elie Tahari, who now rules his own fashion empire, confessed that in the beginning of the 70-ies he had hard times. The designer said that when he moved to New York, he got a job at a car wash for 50 cents an hour.
The Israeli found himself in New York early in his career with only $100. When money for housing quickly ran out, he found himself on the street. It's hard to believe, but Eli was homeless for a while and even slept on a bench in Central Park, NYP writes.
The United States of Elie Tahari recently premiered his documentary, "The United States of Elie Tahari," in which he recounted his journey from a homeless boy in the great city of New York to a celebrated couturier.
