Deets: "The United States of Fashion Designer Elie Tahari" is the first feature documentary directed and produced by David Serero.

Fashion Designer and Mogul Elie Tahari has been living the American Dream for more than 50 years. He came to New York in 1971, from Israel, with less than $100 in his pocket, slept on benches in Central Park, and went on to build a billion-dollar fashion empire. There are thousands of fashion companies worldwide, but only three have lasted for more than 45 years globally and are still run by their founders: Giorgio Armani, Ralph Lauren, and Elie Tahari.

The United States of Elie Tahari is the first documentary ever produced about Elie Tahari, filmed in 2020. Directed & Produced by David Serero, this highly anticipated documentary tells the life of Elie Tahari from his birth and origins (born in Israel with Iranian parents) throughout all of his achievements and legacy. Part of the documentary is also dedicated to Tahari's creative process and endurance in the fashion world. Several fashion personalities such as Fern Mallis (aka the Godmother of Fashion), Melissa Rivers, Fashion designers Nicole Miller and Dennis Basso, Arthur S. Levine, Wallstreet Journal Fashion Journalist Teri Agins, as well as Disco music, models, Studio 54, and more, are part of this documentary.

On April 18th, 2022, the film will receive its Lincoln Center premiere at the elegant Walter Reade Theater located at 165 West 65th, New York, NY 10023. The film screening will be followed by a Q&A of Elie Tahari and David Serero, moderated by fashion celebrated author Teri Agins. Several fashion personalities will be attending the red carpet set at 6:30pm. The film will start at 7:30pm.
