00:00Welcome to fashion designer Ellie Tahari.
00:30Ellie, tell us where we are right now.
00:35When I ran out of money, I was sleeping on the bench in Central Park.
00:41It feels good to sit on it.
00:47Ellie's story is the American dream.
00:50I am Ellie, a simple man. I was born in Israel.
00:55My parents went back to Iran.
00:57Well, I don't remember a lot because I was very young.
01:01I do remember that they lived in tent or metal sheet housing.
01:08No electricity, no running water.
01:11And I remember the other kids used to make jokes out of me
01:15because my clothes were dirty and wrinkled.
01:27Because I had a free ticket, I stayed one night.
01:32I had $60 and I stayed at YMCA and I refused to go back home.
01:38New bedroom.
01:40No, no, no.
01:41No, no, no.
01:42I may not.
01:43I can't figure it out.
01:44If I but I do not.
01:45I do not know what to do.
01:46I got revelries.
01:47I have to try it out.
01:48I don't know what to do.
01:49I got to know what to do.
01:50My mom, my mom, my mom, my mom, my dad.
01:56I got to try it out, I got to try it.
01:58I know you're going to be angry.
02:00When I got a little bit.
02:01I got to try it.
02:03I got to try it out, I got to try it out,
02:05I just got to try it out.
02:07It's Tahari.
02:22Oh, that's what's important.
